Himehood "Party"

I'm so excited to announce that I will be adding a new collection to the Himehood range!!

I didn't know what to call this style but I guess it was suited for parties, so I called it PARTY!!

But!!

I will not be releasing it yet!

I need to make more so I have plenty of items for you to choose from when I release them to my etsy shop! This is better rather than releasing one item at a time then making you wait incase I out other stuff on later - and you can take advantage of my FREE SHIPPING (regular only)!!


So, I will have a Hime Collection and a Party Collection! Hopefully more things will inspire me and I will have like a billion collections!!

I will let you ALL know when I release them!!

For now, you can have a sneak peak at what is going to be in store!

What inspired this collection is the pair of shoes that my boyfriend got me when I was sad! Hehe! Cheered me up and put designs into my head!

Fake hoodie collar

As you can see, these tops are pretty versatile! You can wear them casually as street wear or dressy and sexy!

Thanks again for all your support! Hope to see you at my shop!

Yukie's Fullmoon website is the only nails and nail supply website that I know of that sells at a decent price. I haven't found many other good ones but I will let you all know when I find them!

I like my nails simple:


I have been sewing a bit since the holidays started, I haven't bought much fabric because the prices are so ridiculously high these days!!

The fleece fabric I use for Hime Hoodies are exceptionally high because it is currently winter. I guess they will go on sale when it is summer in Australia (and so it will be winter in the US); and from this I can sell you the hoodies at a good price.

I'm thinking of selling this dress I made but I'm too lazy to take pictures with it and I can't find a 'model'. HAHA!!

Oh yeah, my etsy shop! I cut down the prices of the earmuffs! And I am giving free shipping! I know its still a little empty and you all are waiting for clothes; I'm just not sure as to what type of clothing you are after! I know that some will buy Hime Hoodies!

Last night I stayed up trying to make shorts with suspenders. These are not for sale, they're more of a 'prototype'... my practice!








I did a lot more than go straight to this result! I tried it on like 20 times and had to cut and add all these bits and pieces to get to here!

Cute?

Ear Muff

My sister came home with a new pair of ear muffs, I fiddled around with it and figured out how it was made.

I used hard wire to hold the shape and simply sewed the shapes onto the wire.

This was my first attempt:



Its one you wear around the back of your head.

Later I searched the net and realised most popular ones are the head band style ear muffs.

So, I made those too!



Took me a while to make them and my dad had to help bend the wires.

The furry ones are available on my etsy shop!

Happy shopping!

Winter has fallen upon Australia... but no snow in sight! We can still dress like a snow princess!

This scarf is just to inspire you to make your own version!

Blog shop

This blog shop will close when my esty is complete.

These prices are cheap because I have no fees to pay. (And I am desperate to clear my room)

Please be aware that prices on esty listed items will be dearer than on here, so I'd take advantage of these blog shop prices before I move them to etsy!


I will also be using this blog space for customer pictures and comments.

An

Easy Circle Skirt

The circle skirt is really cute and can be made with minimal effort! The circle allows the skirt to flare and the wavy appearance makes the wearer seem feminine and soft. The use of different patterns can also give a fun effect!


Making the skirt:

The measurements are a little confusing!

What I did was,

1) Measure from my hips down to what ever length I wanted my skirt
2) Add an extra 5 -6 inches
3) Use a string to draw your circle on your fabric (or on newspaper to use as a template while cutting)

4) Cut out the circle
5) Cut out about a 5 or 6 inches diameter circle in the centre

6) Hem the bottom of the skirt and the top (may be complicated, you may have to overlap the fabric on the inside)
7) Add strips on the inside to hold the elastic (once again, you may need to fold over the strip to go with the curve of the circle)

Hi Kenny!!

8) Thread elastic through and join at ends

Mine turned out alright, but of course this tutorial is for a very easy circle skirt for those who have no clue on the basics. If yours turned out a little worse than mine, you can still wear it but just hide the elastic with a belt or under your shirt!

I don't own any belts... I think I should...

Don't waste your left over fabrics!

I used them to make a bow hair tie:

And also a little wrist band!

Matching outfit! Cute!!
