It's not a commodity

'It's not a commodity,' she says of the design team. 'It's not something that's meant to be sold.'

Maybe not sold, but imitation is one of the highest forms of flattery ;-)

How did they attach the shoulder???

Ah ha! The first photo I've uncovered that shows a seam in the fabric. So that's how they attached the sleeve!

Mothers Day

Mothers Day is almost upon us. I used this free pattern online to make my mom a present. I used blue tweed to make it have a chanel look to it. This is my first official project that i've completed with my sewing machine.

Pre Planning Ideas for the body of the Outfit

So here we are again. Watching The Biggest Loser, playing with this costume idea. I wondered if I am going to ever find a good pattern suitable for the body of this costume. So I decided to try an alternative route. What if I put a plastic garbage bag over my home-made duct tape dress form, then dress lines on it where I wanted the cut to be, wrap duct tape around it and make a super thin dress form of the body of the costume I'm trying to make? What if?
