Where Theres Smoke... Theres Fire!!!

So you remember way back when, when I worked for hancock?? Well, I bought this fabric. Covered in half naked cowboys and old red pick ups-with plenty of aloe for soothing after you burn yourself with looking wink wink, Anyway, I decided to make Gertie's easy jacket from her Butterick line and use this for the lining. 
ah La: 

Full Length Double-Breasted Coat Pattern by Gertie b582

BUTTERICK RETROLOOK COAT Full Length Double-Breasted Coat Pattern by Gertie b5824 Ms Sz 6-14 or 14-22 Uncut Factory Folded

And I've got this fabric, right? Its a weird sort of weave with curlique clouds all up on it. Anyway, I decided to pair the two together, because it kinda looked like steamy smoke. And where theres smoke, there's hothothot FIREY cowboy. 

Because I say so. 

Here are some In Production Photos





pockets designed so whenever I stick my hand in I get a palmful of HIM. 
(Jealous??)






Fueled By Pepsi








Here is where I set in the bodice lining, and the pockets. 

And  didn't take anymore photos until just now to show the finished product lmao.

Spring/Summer Wardrobe, Shorts Plan

Image
                    I am attempting to combine my love of easy wear stuff, with my love of vintage. Also, I need to start dressing to make myself happy, not just grab whatever is clean and feel like blarg. In effort to complete this task, I am making shorts! There are two kinds of shorts that I am interested in. High waisted shorts.  -and Flared Shorts: Now, I do feel these are a bit, uh short. Ironically. Which is why I wont be buying from Unique Vintage for my short needs. Ill being sewing them.  (Note, I bought ALL my capris from Unique Vintage, I love them. Review to come) Ive got a couple patterns that Im looking at. The definite ones are Simplicity 3688, and Butterick 5895.   Other ideas are as follows::  As for fabrics, this will be a stashbuster. I have linen in the following colors: Beige with thin black checker board, black, purple, teal, red and beige plain. I also have thin blue denim and a selection of cotton fabrics

Ariel Pink Dress Tutorial Part One

Image
Okay. So. I know there's been some issue with Ariels pink dress. A lot of very influential bloggers have stated they dislike it. Red hair, it is commonly known, does not make good bed partners with the color pink. Brichan, my very favorite artist has even made a most amusing picture -> http://briannacherrygarcia.deviantart.com/art/pink-makes-ariel-cry-52697915 Which, by the by is HILARIOUS. So many cosplayers have seen and posed in this way because Bri is like a demi-god in the Disney world. She deserves that status believe you me. Anyway, for my part, I've never seen anything offensive about the gown. In fact, it is my favorite Disney Princess dress. I can recall the scene perfectly, where Ariel steps out from the shadows and into the light, modest and eager, and Erik is all like; DAYUM. Anyway, bottom line. I want to make some Princess getups for myself and this is at the top of my list for being my favorite Disney Dress. HERE BE THE TUTORIAL?WALKTHROUGH?

Truly Victorian Edwardian Underpinnings; TVE02

Image
Ok, I must admit. I am bitten by the Gothic Romantic Bug. Typically this leans a bit toward Victorian, however, with the decadent costumes of Crimson Peak I couldn't help myself. It was hard too, because I have bits and bobs for white, cream and ecru, enough to make plenty of white, sensible Edwardian undies with no issues and no further money spent. And I was gonna do it too, I was going to lock my inner 14 year old crying for goth ways in her room and sew with what I HAD.  Um.  For Christmas I got a 35 dollar gift card for JoAnns, and while there I found this. One dollar a yard. Six yards on the role.  OH COME ON!!! So off I went, digging through my gargantuan stash. I know I have enough black to kit together a decent mourning undie set, I KNOW it. Just took some looking. I found about four yards of black cotton, and a thin, mystery poly slightly shiny? Also a thin black fabric, kinda like a super thin gabardine? Lastly I found three rolls of smaller
