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
