Back on it! Say Hello to Zombie Cat

I've been severely neglecting this blog! With school and work and such, where do other people find the time for this!! But this is the new year and I promise to be better! I'm starting off the year with my zombie cat neck pillow. He's just the right amount of cute and creepy!

Slashed Breeches and Doublet for Vinny of "The Magnificent Humble Boys"

This Renaissance style costume was created for Vinny, half of the hilarity that is "The Magnificent Humble Boys." The paned breeches are brown twill and brown textured heavy cotton. The doublet is made of the same fabric with brilliant blue accents. The accents are either hand embroidered (on the slashing) or created with biased tape. The sleeves are removable via eyelets and leather straps. He has been wearing this combo since its completion for the last Renaissance Pleasure Faire in Erwindale, CA in 2011.
I make lots of custom costumes for Renaissance Fairs, drop me a line if you are interested in one!

Some pics of the boys in action:

The Vagina Monologues: Costume Designs 2010

For this production of "The Vagina Monologues," the director wanted the performers to be clothed from their own wardrobe. I met with each woman and was able to obtain a general earth-tone pallet for the stage. On top of these earth tones, each woman also wore a shock of red in different places. The theme was "strong women throughout time," and so the red fabric was made into a flower for the hair, a scarf, a sash, an armband, and an ascot, among others. Not all of the performers are pictured here.

Sewing Projects: Simple Skirts

These cute summer skirts were made from flannel, a fabric I love to use for apparel.

This jumper skirt has removable straps and opens with a side zipper. The skirt is gathered at the hip line for a modern look.

This short, three tiered skirt opens with a hidden zipper in the back. The gathering of the layers gives the skirt a slight fullness without being overly poofy. This summer I will hopefully be posting some tutorials on these! Stay tuned!

Corsetry: Modern Underbust Corset from Man's Suit

This three layer underbust corset was created from the pants of a two piece mens' suit with small blue and red pinstripes. The pattern for the corset was drafted using the model's measurements and tweaked over two fittings. The model is wearing the matching jacket of the original suit. The corset is boned with half inch spiral steel boning placed directly behind each panel seam. The drafted and altered pattern pieces can be seen below.
