Final Dress: First Fitting.
Cotton summer dress inspired by absolutely nothing.
InLight.
Here they are. Thank you to Colin Matthews for the photos and Gracie Draper for modeling.

At the show...
We didn't win. In fact, none of the fashion design girls did. The winners were the crazy, over-the-top, taped together "audience faves". Clearly this wasn't a fashion show, as I had hoped for. It was a 'throw as many lights onto a body as you can' show. I was disappointed with the low caliber of the whole event, but I'm proud as hell of what I created, and I appreciate the love and support of the people who understand what I do.
Jess, out.
Tailor Tack Me Down.
I'm all over the place these days.
Here's my front jacket pieces, thread traced and ready to put together, along with an idea for a zipper necklace, and a sweater inspired by The Pillars of the Earth. I love period clothes.

I went to the bookstore and finally got myself a Stitch 'N Bitch. I'm dying to learn how to knit. Lord get me to a craft store, stat. I think I'll have pumpkin pie for dinner.
Jacket pockets, shots from Wearable Art and a dress made out of organic cotton bedsheets coming soon.
Why Darling, You're Glowing!
My submission for wearable art is almost done!
She still needs a zipper, and a little pouch to hide the light battery in.
Double Welt Pocket Samples.
Pocket samples for my tailoring class: Double welt pocket and double welt with flap.
And a great song.
Somewhere That's Green.
I want to go to a place where nothing in sight has been effected by mankind. I want to smell, and listen. I need to go to a place where I can remember what it means to be a living thing. I need to reconnect with the earth that I came from. I need to rediscover what is important. All that I see is concrete. I need air. |
Fit For A Slutty Princess.
A very short, very tight princess seam dress sample.
I've been wanting to set up an Etsy account, and I'm thinking I want to order either damask or printed (cheaper) woven labels for my stuff. There's a website that does just this, and you send in an image of your label design and the size and quantity you want, and they give you an estimate. I went to alter my little "snip.shop" logo, and ALL OF THOSE FILES ARE GONE. Just... gone. I don't understand why my external keeps eating not only files, but entire folders. The blog banner, the shop banner, the scissor image, everything. That's gonna set me back at least a day, remaking those.
Can't worry about that now, though.
I have so many things to make in the next couple weeks, oh my gods.
