Thanks for clicking on this topic despite the obnoxious alliteration title XD.
First some back-story (feel free to skip):
I work in a store that sells reproductions of Victorian clothing. We carry mostly things from other vendors, but some of our products are made in-house.  My boss (the fabulous lady behind the Laughing Moon patterns  ) is currently teaching me how to make and trim bonnets.  
these are all made from scratch (buckram and wire), covered in silk taffeta and decorated with new and vintage ribbons and flowers.


Without further ado, PIX:

For Halloween I decided to dress up as an Edwardian Lady, This came to pass with the help of Two Butterick patterns (4254 and 4954), a parasol, many hours of sewing, a few hours worth of cursing and crying, a couple hours of seam-ripping and resizing and 2 minutes worth of pinning back excess fabric with an antique-looking brooch.

The Button I covered in the same fabric as the lining

Antique Lace I applied to the sleeves

I made my first ever scoodie, using vegbee's fabulous tutorial.  The lining is made from two felted sweaters, the pink one is angora and the blue one is a cashmere blend.  The outside shell is a lavender cotton-linen blend (I think) left over from a halloween costume I made 3 years ago.
Modeled by my bed:


Modeled by me:

I was at the California State Fair last week for the first (and hopefully last - that place is expensive!!) time, and I was stuffing my face with cotton candy when inspiration struck me.
This skirt isn't made primarily from scraps - I actually went out and purchased fabric for this one (yay me!)  But I think it still counts as a reconstruction because the base of the skirt is a vintage half-slip.




Close-up of my favorite detail, I'm so proud of the beading XD:

Here are some additional close-ups:

I made this necklace for my Mom's birthday.  It consists of silk cord, gray-ish pink pearls and rose quartz. I managed to finish it the morning of her B-day (granted I didn't start until the night before..Ooops!).
I had also made a small embroidered silk drawstring bag to contain it, but I didn't get a picture of that.
My Mom loved the necklace XD
Here are some pictures of my bench modeling it:

I made another skirt! This time I used a pile of my white and blue scraps, and some very nice silk dupioni which was definitely not a scrap to start with - just a product of a frustrating failed dress (haven't we all been there...Or am I the only one who refuses to 'measure twice and cut once'?)
Anywho, on to the pictures.  I was so excited when I finished last night that I wanted to take pictures right away, so here are some 'on-the-hanger' pictures.  Action shots will of course follow.

So I was planning on cleaning my room, but I kept finding scraps of fabric, ribbons, lace, you name it!  Suddenly it hit me; why put everything away when I could just sew it all to a vintage slip I had laying around? And thus began my voyage...A week later, I ended up with a pretty sweet skirt...and an even messier room 
Without further ado, here are some pictures:






Just in case you can't tell; I am super pleased with my skirt    I think it's possibly the best thing I have ever created!

I have a little army jacket laying around, which has a great shape, but which is rather boring, so I'm thinking of giving it a similar treatment.

I started working on this sometime during the spring but got busy and forgot all about it.  Eventually I saw this superbly executed swim costume and was inspired to finish: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=249831.0

Here are some pictures of the suit in action:

Back - this is actually the best shot I have of the back...My sister was trying to take pictures but I just couldn't hold still 


This was my original inspiration:

I made up my own pattern as I went along as I was too cheap to spend $20 on a pattern.
All in all I'm very pleased with how my suit turned out.

Here's a beachy dress I reconned from a men's Stripey XL dress shirt.  As per usual I just started cutting and sewing without having any definite plan in mind.  There was a point when I shoved this dress to the back of my closet and decided that it would never become anything I would consider wearing in public.  There it sat and festered for a month, and today (while cleaning out my closet) I found it and decided to make it wearable. 
Here's the front of the dress, I know it looks gray an white, but it's actually pink and blue.


Here's the back (I am terrible at taking pictures of my back, so excuse the blurriness):


The back looks kind of funky because I added tie-back panels of sorts, it seemed like a good idea at the time, they remind me of folded up wings.

Here is a dress I finished yesterday, it's pretty simple but took all day because I didn't have the vaguest plan as to what I wanted to do.  I thusly spent most of my time trying to fix my errors and turn my sad scraps of yellow jersey into something that was at least wearable.
I think I might have succeeded
