My Own Little Project Runway
I have just cheated and watched the 5 finalists’ collections online. I am overwhelmed with the talent of these people! I liked Chris March’s use of human hair. I have a friend who had a flogger made from her own hair so I am not shocked at all. Chris March has the making of a great couturier. I want to see his humongous scarf up close and I want to know more about it.
Recently my friend J came over (She is the one I referred to as her in a previous post.) We swapped cool things. I have lost weight and my stuff is too large. Most of my stuff has also been downsized 1 or 2 times already so I am tired of always resewing it. I gave her most of my lingerie and a lot of clothing that is too large but I would never be able to re-fashion. Some of the pieces I’ve had for 10 years and they are like new. I knew I needed to kick myself in the butt to either buy or make something new and it worked.
I just made a beautiful 20cm wide belt with leather I got from Master Andre a year ago. Can you tell what I used to finish it and make the lace holes? Right now I feel like MacGiver for making all of this from free, found, gifted and recycled materials. The kimono top is a different matter. This slinky polyester is a nightmare to work with and I have never really completed a garment for myself.
But it’s fun!
UPDATED: My red obi is about 5 CM too long for my body. Oh the horror! I am not going to the party afterall, I put my back out trying to put that thing on. Better luck next time.
