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?

Prom Dress 2011

So this week I haven't been doing much of any sewing at all,

which makes me really sad

But I will post this dress that I made at the beginning of the year.

Heres a prom dress I made for the Joann's Prom Contest

Front View

Back View

This is a ball gown corseted top dress with plastic boning and an overlay of red, black, and more black tulle with rime stones as a top layer

Now I'm really sad about this dress for many ill thought of mistakes...

This was one of the many first attempts of making a corset. What I did was that I bought a corset pattern, modified the waist line for a more dramatic curve, and sew an overload of tulle along with a satin under dress.

What I wanted out of the corset was a 2 or 3 inch back gap, a dramatic curve, and, heh make my boobs really pop out...

(But overall I wanted a very tight fit in all places of my torso)

But what happened was that the waist was more snug than tight and breathless, the bust was HUGE, and the hips were awkward and gross appearing

I wish that it would have turned out better cause it would have looked even better if I had just gotten all the measurements correct....

And I wasn't in the top 20 contestants for that contest....

sigh

I might sell this item

If interested or want to know any measurements for this dress,
