I'm planning to attend a lot of summer festivals this year and in preparation I've started sewing costume-y things!  

The first installment is this pocket belt, inspired by Alienskin: http://www.alienskin.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=24_31&products_id=3054

What do you think?

ETA: This is what I''m planning to wear with it. It's surprisingly difficult to take pictures of ones lower body!

I've been wanting to try silk screening for a while and lately I've finally got around to it.

A while ago I made this skull screen, but I'm not quite happy with it. I tested it out again today here are the results.

I found out what happens when you don't use enough ink:


This time I had enough ink, but I accidentally got a big blob on the skulls forehead:


I also wanted to screen a cross but I couldn't find one I liked, so I drew my own. I love how it turned out.

The whole thing:

What do you think?

Thank you!  Actuallly the body of the bag is cotton twill and the stripe is cotton webbing.  Just for you, better pictures have been taken:



Those show the texture a little better (although the colour looks washed out).  Also, no creation of mine can go long without having safety pins stuck into it!

Yesterday I was going through my remenants, when the idea for this bag appeared in my mind.  Not really being a bag person, it's quite basic.  But its such a nice small size and I love it!

 

Fabulous lining:


Hmm, the pix are kind of dark, but I think you can make it out.

I just reconstucted two old skirts (a black corduroy one and a black & white plaid one) to make a fabulous new skirt!   





I'm pretty pleased, however it's not quite my style.  So I'm selliing it on Ebay:  (You can punch me in the neck and edit this post if this is considered spamming.)

So what do you think?

My dad's birthday is coming up, so I decided to make a homemade "magic bag" (you've all seen the infomercial, I know you have).  I also decided it would be a swell idea to put his name on the front, and having never done that before it looks a tad sketchy.

Modeled by my mom's neck (don't mind the blurryness):

As the title suggests, here we have some bondage pants that I made from scratch.  *gloat gloat*  Sorry about the picture quality, I was taking the pictures with a timer.

Just thought I'd post a shirt I made a little while ago. I altered a child's dress with princess seams to get the pattern and used shirts from my thrift store.  The net shirt also was recently finished after a long delay. I'm pretty happy with everything.

Edited to add:



I slapped this together just now.  Had to put it up with the other one.
