Urges

Posted by Monterra in todo

It is funny how the “inspiration” starts driving me crazy right when I have tons of other important school stuff and exams to do.. argh!

So, after the trip to France, no new shoes unfortunately.  And not much other nice things either. A hat.. uh, and a necklace and something. Oh well, money saved. :D

Refreshing my to-do list;

- Red Moulin Rouge corset

- Reconstructed bolero

- Fixing a  shirt

-kitchen curtains..

-Making a wallet

-Aaaand possibly a waist cincher out of fake leather, or something green, or PVC… suggestions?

Well, not quite sewing, but related nevertheless; I picked up some six shoe boxes from the nice lady in the local shoe store, and two rolls of cheap wallpaper and a jar of glue for ~6€. Snip snip glue glue, and I’ll have some nice storage boxes for my little party shoes =) It sounds almost too easy to be true… gulp.

Off to snip snip glue glue, will post pictures when they’re ready! (and the living room rug is messed up…)

Now playing: Iron Maiden! \m/

What’s on my mind.

Posted by Monterra in todo

So, I’ve mostly been planning and sketching my future project during my lectures at school (heh) and this this is my to-do list so far:

-Another school bag in black, based on another bag I already have…

-An underbust “undergarment” corset (already started!)

-An underbust black-and-green-corset with a busk

-An overbust “Moulin Rouge” corset with the nice shiny pinkish-red fabric I bought, and lots of black lace ;)

-A long black wool skirt for the winter (hrr!)

-Kitchen curtains -_-

Sketch

If most of the pages in my notepad have some weird sketchings like this, maybe I’m studying the wrong thing…
