Time

Tara is wondering if we should have the party earlier, since we scheduled it at 6 since we thought Lona had to work.

Lynnis's Final Entry

Lynux Tux Redux - Formal menswear reinterpreted with a saucy twist.

Piri's Final Entry

I guess you all beat me, since I only have ONE entry -
Piri's Patchwork Pizzazz - Casual summer dress, accentuated with fun, colorful patchwork.

official entries

well, i can't top lona's FOUR ENTRIES, but the competitive spirit spurred me on to finish these:

1. crustacean inspiration: AKA the carapace dress multi-layered asymetrical design for casual wear (modeled by moi)
2. literary aspiration: prompted by our latest TV obsession "Slings & Arrows" (seeking model--could even be male, but not too tall or wide...)
3. mall mutation: bordering on boring, but, oh, the accessories! (modeled by me, if i can't talk anyone else into it...)

Final entry

Wow, this blog keeps beating out all the others in my Google reader-- lots of posts! My turn, I guess. I loved that people had names for their items so I did my best. After all, titling is the best part of the creative process, right? For the show I'll be modeling the Rock Show Mini Dress and Sew What? Shrug, bundled up for the cold weather with the Lifesaver Jacket and Wooly Wrap-Around Boots, and topped off with a flower headband. Most of the pieces have been in the blog already, but the dress is a surprise! It's actually one of my favorite items in the summertime. See you all soon!

ETA: Do we need themes? I think mine would be catalog knock-offs, since most of what I make is inspired by envy and poverty. Maybe my theme is po/en/v/ert/y.

I guess its time to drag out my long forgotten, unfinished quilt

Shoemaker blood resurfacing

I knew I wanted to make tee shirt shoes to top off my outfit but I really didn't have a clue how to do it until I saw Annie's hip homemade boots. She said the secret construction method is hot glue!

My own little sweat shop

Tara's Sad Mariachi Outfit

Andelle will be wearing this fancy outfit.

final outifts

When you are finished with your final outfit, post or email me a description of the outfit so I can make cards for the judges.

This is what I'm leaning towards at the moment

Drumroll, please!

finished! muaahahaha, all you people who didn't think i would *coughcoughHALLIEcoughcough*

while mom dithers...

--i can't figure out which outfit to concentrate on!!!

accessorizing

hallie whips out a cool bag to coordinate with her outfit--

tick, tick, tick...

the pressures on now! ysa takes over the sewing machine --innes

(and looks fabulous while doing so -ysa)

Maybe I was going for too much color

Well, what do you think? Red, Green or Black for the skirt? I think I prefer the green, but then I would still have to do something to extend the length, which seems hard. And that makes me prefer one of the other two.

Is this too 1980's southwestern?

I was trying out an idea with my dress, hoping to make it a bit more colorful, but I'm not sure I like the effect. It's all just pinned in place for now.

OOh i did something ^_^

Look what i made sorta...
Its currently pinned and the skirt is just something to show which i am probably going to use a different color and more zig zaggy design like in my designs..
Also the top needs straps ^_^ but look i can do better then Jazzersizing
oh and i need to have a picture of the back of the jacket like thingy its really awesome..

oh and haven caught me when i was turning around and refuses to take another...

Sewing Party, Nov. 23, Piri's House

Same time, same place. I think I am going to hit up the thrift store sometime this week for specific colors of shirts. I want to make my t-shirt dress match my favorite shoes.

i think we created a new category

in the Guiness Book of World Records. 16 blog posts in one day!

And Sew it Goes...
