This is a lovely set-up you've got! Thank you for the post, and for the informative links! I was looking for a bustle tutorial and found your lovely hat; how grand!
That is a lovely tute! That bead work is fabulous. I am curious about tatting myself, and I've picked up some thread, and tatting needles (as I'm terrified of shuttles) but I'm having a hard time learning how to tat. Are there any tips or links you could share to aid?
You are so talented! Craftster just featured you on twitter, and I'm sorry, but I kinda had to look at everything you've posted. Not in a creepy way, just in an oh-man-this-chick-is-so-talented sort of way. Keep rockin all of it!
If you decide to do the darts to make the torso more form-fitting, you may have to trim the wings away a bit to allow for more movement. I like the idea of the button and white dress. So far super awesome!
What a lovely little dress! I am quite impressed that you just "threw" this together. I'm fixin'ta go through my fabrics to see if I have anything suitable to use to make one today. So excited! Thank you for the tutorial, too.
This is great! An idea popped into my head while looking at this, a stencil! You could cut out the silhouette and the original embellishments on the corners and spray paint that onto several surfaces: shirts, skirts, a jacket, even a pillow? And treat the fabric the same as you did the paper. Sewing would be super easier on fabric, and you could show it off as much as you wanted! Oooh, that's actually sounding more and more fun. Keep rockin'!
Thank you for the tute! This is really cute, and it looks pretty easy (especially since you figured it out before I had to do the hard work). Keep rockin'.
I like the straps, even for steampunk. If you want to do buttons, perhaps go all the way and do gears instead. Something copper or brassy. You know, like the goggles Good luck!
