hey karmic, really nice work but just remember to credit the maker of the brushes I have one or two of the sets you used, they're lovely xx

hi paroper, thank you for all your help, I had to figure the hood out myself last night as I didn't read your reply until now, but thank you so much I will definately be referring to your instructions in the future as for the fitting, it was only pinned and will not be so tight when it's on! but again thanks for the information, it will be very useful in the near future.. (this was my first time making sleeves..!)

here's how my outfit turned out.



I'm only wearing the jacket for a fashion show in June so the fit isn't important .

Thanks for all your help. Lou x

Hi, I'm currently making a short jacket out of fur and would like to add a wide hood for show. does anybody have any idea how to make one to the pattern I've used and how to attatch it??

here's the lining so you get a basic understanding of the jacket..


this is the back.. it won't really look this bad honest!  lol.


this is the front, the black doesnt exactly show where everything is, but basically I want the hood to be wide so it looks abit like a collar at the front, going into a hood at the back.. get me?! hehe...

thanx xx

no that's the only down side to it, there's only written instructions (i think) and only afew of the items show the finished piece..! lol

I'm not too good at making... but can anybody please explain how to attatch lining to a coat.. and is the pattern any different to the coat itself? Thanx xx

thanx carobelle I taught myself, I've only been playing with it for a couple of months in my spare time. Once you get the hang of layers and stuff it's all pretty easy, just make sure you remember what you've done if you come up with something you really like.. otherwise it's a nightmare trying to copy!! lol

I buy advanced photoshop magazine too, the people who buy it are professionals (i'm not..!), but there's always tutorials to how they achieved their work and I usually pick alot of stuff up from that

and here's my final illustration for my college fashion project



it's very unfinished though!!

okay here's what I did on photoshop the other day, it's my eye, and I manipulated it accordingly!!



Knight is my surname, which might give you a better idea of what this piece is about!

Anybody else wanna show off their recent digital works??

  basically I'm making this dress:



(that is my tulle thing)

What I want to know is, how do I line it.. (the skirt)? The lining is going to be the same fabric used for the actual skirt, but I just don't know how to go about it.. do I just cut 2 squares, then cut the circle out the middle and stitch them together... or is there a knack to it?? aarrgghh!!!

this is such a brilliant idea.. KUDOS xxx
