I printed out my design on fabric!

So yesterday in class I printed
out my digital textile design

On silk crepe fabric

I plan on making a top
with a peplum
and lantern sleeves

I will stuff and applique
the GIANT parakeets
and place them on each sleeve

But for now I like it as wall paper!!!

I used it for a back drop
for my outfit of the day

Ketchup and mustard picnic

1960 dress

1950 head scarf

1950 berries

1960 101 Dalmation shoes

Amazing person award and first true spring outfit

The Amazing person award goes to 

Shannon!!

She is finishing up her studies in textiles

I have had the honor to take a class with her

This is her senoir thesis 

She makes fun of fashion

and how rediculous prices are

for nothing

and so she made something amazing

out of nothing

she has a good eye fr items people 

leave behind

and transforms them into A+ purses

that are lined with play money

and labeled with prices comparable 

to the typical luxry brand

her Jesus barette

My personal favorite bag

My other favorite

Now on to my first 

true spring outfit

More designs and Marilou's birthday

Cutting out dress
with creative weights
(at hand)
to hold down fabric





The dress
"flirty, yet sporty!"

(cheesecloth is the fabric giving its cream-sickle look)
(didn't hem it yet oops!!)

I'm obsessed with vintage zippers
(this on is from the 1940's)











Marilou's birthday present
and birthday dinner



two brooches I made
a vintage gold and silver
chain necklace.
(she is collecting chains right now)
(chain is hard to see but at the bottom of the box)









dinner at amazing
Ethiopian restaurant



Afterwards at a bar I met this lovely Australian lady
Holly Owen who is the the
creative director
of Champagne for the ladies
she liked my dress
and I liked hers
