Lace Gloves

My dance group has to dress semi formal for our next performance. I remembered seeing a pair of lace gloves in the shops and thought I could make an attempt at making a pair myself!

Now, I started tracing my hands for a template but when I had a look at my other gloves I realised the shape was a lot more square (and neater!).

I'm still trying to master it!

For now, I just used my traced hand template:

The thumb bit was really confusing! If I have time, I can attempt a tutorial.




Well, it turned out alright but only wearable on the stage where no one can see it up close!! HAHA!!

Just incase, I made a lace wrist band too!

Tube Dress another version

I found another way to make a tube dress.

It is a little more time consuming than using the elastic, but it looks a lot better!


I lost the link, but it is a video from "threadbanger". Something along the lines of "spring dress" or something! I'm so sorry I can not find it! I will link you guys when I find it, or someone else has found it!

But please to check threadbanger videos, they're full of all kinds of sewing videos you've ever wanted to learn!


Just search them up on Youtube or you can go to their link:

Hoody Playsuit

Hey Girlies!

I've been busy studying and sewing a lot lately. I recently bought a whole chunk of fabric because as soon as I saw it I instantly knew it would be perfect to make a playsuit.

Do you love Juicy Couture sweat pants? The velour type of fabric?

Well that's what my playsuit is made of!

I made the playsuit on its own, but it seemed like it needed a little something more...


Yes! I added a hood too it!

Cute?

If I get enough interest I can use the rest of the fabric to make more! Let me know either via youtube or via email.

Will probably release this one before the rest of my designs because I want to see what it looks like on you!!

Worth watching

I found this blogger/youtuber just now, she does gyaru make up and is totally inspired by gyarus!

You should check her out!

Anyway, I watched one of her videos and heard her speak... SHES AUSSIE!!!!!!! Too cool!! Yeah, that's probably why I linked her haha! Because shes Aussie ^_^!
~~~

Yeah, another link for while I am away... again!

I know, my commitment isn't 100% there for Himehood. I've been studying a lot and I'm actually really enjoying it!

I have been sewing one item of clothing every month or so, so my stock is slowly growing but is still a fair way from being released. Keep in mind they're all size 8 Australian sizing. I don't know how to sew other sizes because I don't have any model to test it on...

Like I said, will be a while, so forget about me for a while and it will be a nice suprise when I come back!

Ok?

Thanks for being patient!

Bubble Skirt

I bought this frumpy looking long skirt today:(TinyFidgety is my other blog.
Don't mind the watermark!)

Thought I'd made a really easy tutorial on how to turn it into a bubble skirt.

One way is to use another piece of fabric underneath, but that was way to difficult to explain.

I did the easy way: using elastic!

Cut it to the length you want (maybe a little longer because it will spring up after attaching the elastic).

I set my sewing dial to this:

While you sew the elastic on, pull it towards you so it is stretched. This way, when you release it, the fabric will spring back with it and create the "bubble" effect.


I didn't feel like hemming it up or whatever. It kind of tucks itself under the whole skirt so you can't see it anyway:

TAAADAAAA!!!
