Vegan Leather Pants? 20% Off? Why Not?

Hello again!

So last Friday, Black Friday, I was tricked by my sister to go shopping with her (she told me she wanted to go to the mall to watch people claw eyeballs out of people's faces for deals.) 

I was pretty angry cause I had a butt load of finals to work on and she didn't give a rat's ass. . .

-__-

We went to the mall, which was crowded, then Sally's for hair dye, and then T. J. Maxx. 

We shopped for a while there. I completely had no intentions of buying anything on Friday, but I couldn't help but at least look around.

I found these odd pants with holes and rips in the back that are made of

 . . . vegan leather. . .

I thought to myself, "lol, pants made of humans, who just happen to be vegan, and their flesh. Hehe"

The second thought was vegetables. . . veggie pants. Hehe

The third was this

 

I had this idea for a while now. I wanted to do this with a old pair of jeans that had rips, tares, or just looked really plain, but these funny "leather" pants sure are a good fit.
 

I got the pants for 10% off for damaged discount ($20 originally so I paid $18, I haggled as hard as I could with no luck of a better deal :'[  )

 

I added a hell of a bunch of safety pins below the knee, a checkered board thigh patches, and spikes above those.

 

 

I have some safety pins on the back too that cover up the holes I fixed above the butt pockets.

Yeah, it might have been worth all the troubles of being in a dinky and sensory distressing mall. . .

Hope this was interesting for ya!

Portfolio Submition: Review for Yourself!

Hey guys!

 

It has been quite a while since I have been posting updates.

 

I am sorry for that! I have just been working hard on starting college as a freshman.

 I have been doing more than just sewing in the past few months. I now have to draw, paint, and create works of art on picture plains, instead of human bodies. I will have to post my past semester's work!

I have so much to show you!

:D

 

But for now, I am posting a quick review of my past works that are within this portfolio. I had to submit this for a different college (not the one I am in today) for a scholarship.

I got $26,000 worth of scholarship from this school, but it wasn't enough to attend to, sadly.

But my other school offered me much more.

I just had to take that!

:3

 

Anyway, here ya go and I hope you enjoy.

Updates? YES!

Hello!

I have been loading all of my stuff into a new space, so sorry I haven't been on for a while. I am moving from my bedroom to the garage. It is a mess right now but it is all coming together nicely.

Overall view

Hey theres that fabric for my costume! (Read below)

My little organizer for my small things like spikes, eyelets, gears, ext.

Here are a few of my drawers that I had to buy PLENTY of from a container store. I have so much thread it needed its own drawer!!

Yes, I have so much fabric it completely filled out 7+ drawers! It will all help for college though!

Now. . . if I can only organize. . . the rest of this stuff

^ ^;

Ok well, I had a project or two that I recently finished

One is a corset made with a light, thin velved with a gold busk and golded rivets and D-Rings. Photos coming some time :p But here is a drawing of what it is.

 I recently learned how to use rivets with a corset and I am looking forward to continue my practice with them. But for my first time using them, I think I did a decent job. I mean, some are really crappy looking, but still a good first attempt. Again, I will post some photos. . . sometime.

Here is a project I recently started:

It is a cosplay of the My Little Pony character "Queen of the Changelings"

or also known as "Chrysalis"

Here is the character incase you don't watch MLP:FIM

I have already bought, maybe, 80% of the materials

-Skirt 5 yards of cotton from Joann's

- Fishnet shirts 5 yards black fishnet from Etsy and 4 yards green fishnet from Fabrics World, and damn it was hard to find!

- PVC bright green 1 1/2 yards for the corset and neck corset from Joann's

- Model Magic for the horn

I don't know how to do the wings quite yet. That will be the very last thing to do.

I have started the skirt already, but I am waiting for the fishnet to come in so I can layer the whole thing together. What I can do at the moment is burn the edges >:3

In other news!

I was invited by a group called RAW: Natural Born Artists to do a fashion show to showcase my talents!

They are a group that recognizes young, local artists (based on where you live, at least) and give them the chance to show off. This way, you can become recognized by whoever is coming to the show. I was told that a woman who works for a fashion magazine always shows up to the art show I would be presenting in. I wish I could remember which one :l

I am very HAPPY that I was invited to this! I am very skeptical as to how I'm going to go about it, but I would really like to be apart of their program. I can be featured on their page and everything!

I have plans on what I can make them too, but I won't tell about it quite yet

;p

Thats really it for now

-FOR SALE- One Peice of My Collection: Formal Rave Homecoming Underbust Corset Yellow.

Here is one of the three peices of my collection inspired by raves.

Underbust Yellow Satin Corset with Steel Bonning Black Lace Criss-Cross Laces and Optional Removable Dress

                 

This fancy underbust top would require a nice top because it does not cover the bust. that way, this dres can become very versatile to the wearer of the garment. the back of the garment is beautifully showing the sparkle tulle petty coat that comes with the dress.

There are corset lacing ties on each both sides of the top.

These can be ajusted slightly.

Laced Hem all the way around the dress.

Cool features about this dress:

On the waist line there is a zipper that can remove the yellow flow dress and reveal the sparkle tulle tutu that comes with this dress, for an even more versatile options for the wearer of the dress.

Here are the exact measurements of this garment.

Have any questions or interested in buying this dress? Please message me on my Etsy account. Listing link bellow.

Very Red Lolita Dress

Latest Project!

I was SOOO bored the other day I just wanted to create something! I also wanted to keep working on my lolita dresses. Here is the latest, ready and made!

The back view turned out pretty well. It looks nicer than I expected.

This dress has a button closure and a 10 inch zipper.

What's pretty awesome about this dress is that I made pin tucks on the hem! I think I did a great job for a beginner on pin tucks!

Here are my notes about this dress. 

I did leave out the long ties out of the dress. . .

WOW ITS BEEN A WHILE!

Well. . . hello there. . . how ya been?

Ok . . . FFFFF

I am so sorry that I have not been able to post here in the past

. . . .

four months?

I had to finish high school, and, I AM NOW DONE!!!

:DDDD

I am now a high school grad!

HURRRRRAH!

But yes, now that I am done with this silly high school mess, I can get back into the swing of things and finally sew 24/7! Like I used to. . .

But lets recap on what the hell happened in the past few months:

- Lots of f'en homework
- My love with My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

- MTAC! HURRAH! ANIME CON! That includes raves, Japanese foods, making new friends, and wishing I had a booth to sell my stuff at. . . (sniff). But there's always next year.
Here's my Steampunk outfit (that I had to improvise on) from the first day of the con)

-Hanging with friends

-Other raves

-Prom (and indeed I made my prom dress)

It took almost two months to make. It would have been sooner if I didnt have school in the way.  BLEHH

 - My birthday party!

- A new and very loving partner (thats whos in the prom photo with me :3)

- Seinor stuff and privilages that were wonderful and rememberable!

-School trip to Washington, D.C. (you can read about that on my friends blog right here

http://blacktiesphotos.blogspot.com/2012/05/washington-dc-part-one.html)

- And of course graduation!

There was so much that went on I can't even recall absolutely everything.

Although, in between my free time, I have made a few things. . .

Like a fluttershy hat!

https://www.etsy.com/transaction/82579054

I've sold two so far!

And I do have some news to share.

Ok, so I have chosen my college to attend to, finally. It was a very hard choice (out of all 2 options.)
Now for the next topic of interest: to earn an artistic scholarship from this college, I have to design a fashion line. This line will depend how much scholarship I will earn for the next four years of attending this school
*gulp*

I have completed my designs, made my patterns, and sewed everything up! They are all ready for my appointment on Monday.
But I really don't have much confidence in it, at all. Cause I feel that my work was very sloppy, but maybe the head of the fashion department wont care cause I never took any proper sewing classes. . .

Gah I don't know!!!!

Anyways, I will post those photos as soon as I can. 

Again I am sorry for this masive delay on information. I am ready and able to blog again though!

And I will be very vigalent in my work and updates!

Thanks for sticking with me, and thanks for all the new viewers I apparently have now.

I have views from over 10 different countries! Thanks a lot guys!

Keep up the craftin' and sewin'

~!Nyan!~

Updates and Delays

Oh time, 

I don't have enough of you. . .

-------------------

Wow . . . It has been more than a month since I have made a blog entry 

T^T

I'm pretty sad about it . . .

But here's what's up

Life seems to bring me many opportunities and many disappointments, especially now that I'm a senior in high school and also dealing with normal teen issues

Bleck!

What are the disappointments?

Well I haven't sewn anything amazing (or much of anything) in a month or so because of all the work loads I am trying to keep up with, and YES I'm talking about the evils of homework

I mean, I had a custom order come in. . . but it was only a wrist band order

And I made another Fluttershy hat that it had her cutie mark

. . . 

Maybe I should have posted that

Anyways, it was for a hat exchange with a friend

Other than that, nothing really significant has come off of my sewing machine

Once again, I cry in the corner

TT^TT

Another thing, I'm not sure if anyone reading this has read my post about a custom cosplay for a friend. 

Yeah. . . not ganna happen

I had to cancel due to all the work I have to do

It is a sad day because that could have gotten me $100 in my pocket

But I guess it is my fault for sort of procrastinating and delaying my schedule, just a tiny bit

Hell. . . idk

Opportunities?

Um . . . 

Well for one thing, I am now responsible of making costumes for my school theater play/movie that we are doing for the semester

(and it will be my last performance from 7th grade to now)

TT^TT

The shows are "Waiting for Godot" and "The Importance of Being Earnest"

Pictures of such will be posted, of course, but that will be in around March

But I'm SO GLAD that I get to sew soon! 

Because I haven't sewn in so long, I have had this DYING feeling that I will loose my motivation and creativity cause of all this GODDAMN WORK ahead of me. . .

I'm afraid that I will loose myself in just the guilt of WORK WORK WOOORK

I'm not sure how to explain it. . .

Just. . . fuck it

Also, a little news on the shop,

I recently went to a convention (SAM Con) at the local alternative cafe

named Cafe Coco

I was selling my hats, wrist bands, skirts, and whatever was waiting to be taken home

I only sold 2 lolita hats. . . 

It was a relatively small con anyways

. . .

Anyways, that's what life has been like for the past month

. . . 

Nyan?

Cosplay Time!

One of the many future projects added to my list 

Miki from Shugo Chara

This is for a friend I met a few years ago at MTAC

I believe it was 2009

She found me on youtube and our friendship started from there

I'm really excited to be making this for her

I don't make a whole lot of cosplay

Just cause I only go to one con every year (thats all I really have time for)

But this is even better cause I'm getting paid

$.$

But that's not the soul reason to be doing this

This is like my own personal challenge

To make a custom costume for a person that is not myself

What I plan to do is 

-Make or alter patterns

-Produce mock ups

-Set up arrangements/meetings

-Alter again, if needed

-Make again in the real materials needed

-Do anther meeting

-Alter garments if needed

-FINISH IT BEFORE . . . the 20th?

OH GOD I HOPE I CAN FINISH BEFORE THE REALLY BIG PROJECTS GET STARTED!

But thank the LORD that this is a really simple project for me

Just look at it!

It's just a button up shirt, a black vest, and a pair of dark blue knickers!

I have patterns for all of that!! (well I'm custom making the vest)

I think I can do it! 

THIS IS A CHALLENGE AFTER ALL!

XD

Someone pray for me

':<

. . .

Gah I hate that show
