Hallowe'en 2010

Last night I dressed as a dead hipster for a Hallowe'en party. Free tequila all night!
To make this post relevant, I'll mention that I made the leggings I'm wearing.

Derby day

Today is the runway show for our racewear outfits. Everyone made one, so there are about 30 outfits in total. Mine is three pieces - a boatneck top with low v back, a matching wrap skirt with front split, and chartreuse silk hotpants to wear underneath. I'd post a sneak-peak but I don't have any photos.
Good luck to all the second years.

Derby day

I lost integral pieces of the pattern for the 60s mod dress, so I'll need to redraft it to make it up.

I finished my Derby Day dress out of a different fabric than originally intended. The purple space age fabric didn't work out well at all, so I made my top and skirt out of a purple jungle print cotton. It turned out well, but it stretched out when I tried it on the mannequin and now I'm not sure it will fit anyone.

Hopefully today I'll make a pattern for some trousers for myself and maybe a dress for my cousine.
