And I get this comment on one of my blog posts saying to get in touch because I'm the winner......you should of seen the happy dance. (You'd see a lot of interesting things if I just set up a camera in here).....

Kerli and Chubby Bunny Contest: My Entry and How I Made it

Hey everyone just wanted to put up a post about the Kerli and Chubby Bunny contest I just entered ^.^ And I made it all in a day.....because thats how long I had to. So the two pictures below are of the outfit I entered........taken by the great/awesome/totally winning Nick Johnson

So here is the run down of whats in the outfit ^.^ :

1)White Shrug - I made this with a white satin ribbon and then you just layer the fluffy white fabric (needs to be super stiff - mine I got from my mother) like you would with a mini skirt......and then sew along the middle of the ribbon.

TIPS: watch the fluffy stuff because it'll get sewn to the ribbon. And try to sew as close to straight down the center as possible to keep the attachment even.

2)Veiled Tube Top - So mine was made with a little bit of purple star fabric that I had put aside but you can really use any type of cotton for this......and then something like tulle only your gonna want it to be softer and maybe not as stiff. So I folded the bottom of the cotton fabric under and then sewed the tulle like fabric up at the same point so that it looks like its attached under there....gives it a little bit of dimension too. Then take a little bit of the same tulle fabric and I added the rope of sequins and sew it into either side. That gives ya a tie and the little accent in the front......

TIPS: when sewing in the sequin rope your gonna want a little extra to hold out the sides when your sewing over it. And when sewing the sides watch the bottom veil.

3)Mini Skirt - So these are super simple. But they always turn out looking great. What you do is get a piece of fabric....cotton preferably or something that doesn't stretch. And then you cute lengths of tulle out. I like to fold my tulle in half and then half again to get about the right length. And I chose two colors here (both also thanx to my mother). Fold each length of fabric in half and twist at the middle. Take the folded in half bits and pin them along the line of the fabric.....up a little higher then flush with it so you can sew it in. The second color I did every four of the first one. The number is your choice though. Sew the edges in on the outsides and then fold in half and sew along the seam. For the back your gonna want an eyelet punch and six eyelets - three on each side- and some yarn/ribbon/string. And then your finished.

Now for my look I made little white lace leggings that didn't fit well enough so I'll post a new blog about them later......when I get them right. I added a length of tulle around the waist. And then three little bows. One in my hair, one on the bust line and one on the sash/belt. I'll tell you how to make those in a later post ^.^ Well the next post to be exact. With pictures and everything ^.^ and there will be a contest to win one so stay tuned.......

And as always..........Thanx for reading ^.^

Day to Day: A Little Shopping and Weekend Goals

So I have a couple shoots coming and did a little shopping. I probably shouldn't have but I really like to have nice pictures.......and that requires the right wardrobe ^.^ Though I must say at times I feel like I'm falling a little bit short on that.........Anyway below are pictures of the clothing I bought for two upcoming shoots.......

This is a Bra, Panty and Garter set I made at Ross for about ten bucks.......

And a plastic tiara, which makes me angry because I would of loved to have the $17 one if I had had the money to get it!!!!!!

And I still need to get me some lace gloves and lace thigh highs.

And these two pictures are of the outfit I was hoping would work for my shoot Monday...I was told a Victorian feel to it but all the clothing I have is a little more goth then Victorian (which is sad because I like the other style better)........so I went out and bought this outfit. I believe it cost me $32 in the end second hand. And I'm still gonna look into some thigh highs to go with........but I went for more of a Gothic Lolita look which is sorta Victorian in a modern day way........we'll see how it works ^.^

Now onto some goals for this weekend since it seems that I have nothing to shoot ^.^............I want to get this list of things done this weekend:

*clean my house (it needs it)
*make entry piece for Kerli/Chubby Bunny Contest (which you can find here)
*get started on figuring out tea party designs
*work on finding some patterns on line

:and I think those might be my biggest goals. I mean if Kassi has time we might go check out some fabric and such for her outfit........and maybe a horror movie marathon on Friday the 13th ^.^ but other then that I would like to get those four things done this weekend.
