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?

Steampunk Plans for MTAC 2012: Dress Done

I am happy to announce that the Victorian dress has been completed!
In only 1 1/2 days!


This turned out great!

Pictures can only describe the greatness of this result


This picture features two bustles in the front
One way to wear this dress


More views/ close ups

A few other options I could do is
- One bustle on the side (left or right)
- Four bustles in the front and sides
- Or all bustles combined



There is a nice little train in the back as well
It is more defiant if there are bustles in the front


Lace trim
Lace is over 100 years old
Very antique


Scalloped trim on lace


Has a green zipper
about 6 or 8 inches


Two silver clips hand sewn on to waist band

This has no lining
Wish I could have put some in but I wasn't sure how to deal with that due to the bustles 
So I just didn't add any
:(

Perfect addition to a Steampunk atire
Corset will be done later in the next year
2012
Cause theres only 5 minuets till that year

My mision is to find a big brown soft leather jacket from Goodwill and use that for my corset
I have yet to find the perfect jacket
It will take some time

Thanks for reading and have a great new year

Hurrah!

or...

Huzzah!

:D
