Press Time!

Alright, so things have been slow in the production area this week. I have been doing a lot of planning, designing, and thanks to a quick NYC trip I've been doing some sourcing too! Also, NYC is great for inspiration, so feel free to take a look at my "Umbrella Discard Project" photo album.

In the coming weeks, there will be plenty of new superhero (and maybe even a few villainous) designs.
In the meantime, I got to be in the local paper.....

PS- I definitely went to Top Shop to scout some of that superhero undies- they had none- never had! They have beautiful clothes, but expensive. I had such a fun time looking a clothing store that wasn't Sears! Then, I tried to go to MOCCA, but they were closed for installation : (
But on a brighter note, I got lots of nice fabric for some upcoming projects, but you'll just have to wait and see what they will be.

Latest Projects-Aprons, Cushions and Clothes- Oh My!

Well it's certainly difficult to have something cool to follow up the Monarch jacket- and I don't have anything that cool right now.

So, you'll just have to enjoy some clothes I've made for myself. I've set a goal for to slowly replace as much of my existing wardrobe with things I have made. This is not a hard and fast rule, I love to sew, so what better place to show it off than on myself- that and I have lots of fabric! I won't be making things like socks, undies or shoes (I love my shoes!). Making footwear will mostly be reserved for costuming purposes. I also doubt that I will be mastering jeans anytime soon also.

 

Cool twisty front top! This is made out of some lovely rayon spandex fabric that wrinkles when you look at it- so this style is good for it.

Ode to the Simpsons

Anyone who knows me, knows that I love the Simpsons- Ok I love the show as a whole, but I mostly discount the weak episodes of the past ten years.

Nevertheless, I was more than thrilled when I came across Simpsons fabric. I probably had the fabric for more than a year until I figured out a good use for it.

Pillows!

Lil' Red Hat

It's always fun to take on commissions, and one of the latest completed was that of the "Lil' Red Hat". This is for a choir show for O'Gorman High School out in South Dakota. It seems they are very serious about their chorus shows out there, so I was glad to be able to help them out. They needed 22 red pillbox hats- and if you have read this blog before, you know that I know how to do pillboxes!

Kyle Rayner Strikes Again

Happy New Year! Before I get to Kyle, I just wanted to say it's coming up one year of this blog.  I already have a lot of fun things in the pipeline for this year- so thanks for looking, hope you enjoy!

Once I began learning about Kyle Rayner, I immediately became enamored with this version of the costume and just needed an excuse to make it.

  Luckily, my pal Ryan gave me such an excuse.

Cool, no?
