Appreciation of the Finer Things in Life

Okay, so I should have gone to the shoe store, and shouldn’t have looked at the shoes, and shouldn’t have fallen in love with this one pair.. okay, but I need them for Sunday!

Lovely heel, looks great and easy to walk in, comfy, HOT, and of course shiny PVC! I couldn’t have left them there. And it was pay day and all… And they weren’t that expensive after all.. So, I’ll just not eat for a while and quit partying.. err, yeah. Thank you Trendi-Kenkä! Mmm…. Shoes… *Homer drool*

The leg is a little bit too wide, so I might take them to be repaired, but not yet, I don’t want to part from them. ;)

Back to sewing, now (with my shoes on). ;)

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 -_-

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

Time for some creativity finally.. After a long while of doodling sketches and whatnot in my notes during boring classes I finally got the inspiration to this bag (and the bargain bin fabric helped, too). I had problems with finding a good nice school bag and you can never have too many bags, can you?

The pattern is from the Suuri Käsityö-magazine which I had stashed away for some time.

It is black and purple wool fabric with inner pocket and elastic “drawstring” so it is easy to slip folders in and out of it (and lots of other crap). First I had a non-elastic string on it, it didn’t look as good as the elastic one and it was harder to put large items into the bag. But the bag is my favourite, at least for a while. :)
