craftgrrl | Purdy New Stuff

So I finally got around to taking some pics of a bunch of stuff I've made in the last 6mths. I won't post it ALL here, because it will be an overload ((I'll post the rest another day))

This little blue hooded tux jacket was made for a fashion show I headlined last year. This was worn by Little Boy Blue ((Who was actually a girl)). The jacket is fully lined in black. The bloomers matched the jacket + had 2 military-inspired little tabs on the side of one leg. The shirt is a shirt I got screenprinted for my female models to wear with my label on it. I reconstructed this one with a slashed back.

This is my sister in an outfit I made for a photoshoot for a magazine. I did a Carnivale-themed range, and this peasant-style blouse + pencil skirt with detachable bondage straps DID fit in with the rest of the stuff :D. I prolly could have ironed the skirt...

This Jim Morrison shirt I made ages + ages ago. It's really tiny. I resized this giant tee + gave it a scoop back neck + added a tie around the nape of the neck. The sleeves are slightly gathered. I made the skirt as well, but it was Snow White's skirt for the fashion show. It's a bit skewwiffy, so i'm not goign to sell it. it was made from a tonne of black cotton poplin, lace + netting. It does up on the side with a metal-toothed zipper + above that is some eyelets + ribbon to be laced up similar to a corset.

The dress in the centre is a little 50s inspired sundress. It has a contrast band around teh top + a matching underskirt. The dresses either side are part of the Carnivale-themed outfits for the magazine photoshoot. They have ribbon in channels up the fronts, so you can gatehr up the front skirts like a can-can dancer, the one my sister is wearing is fully lined in red.

This adorable little pinafore was made years ago. We hardly ever wore it, so we decided to sell it. The buttons are red stars and its made out of grey + black striped stretchknit.

I made this just days ago + I love it so much! It's a cute little pink pinafore I like to call a playsuit! It has crossover straps + two pockets. I was trying to put in slash pockets, which I've done a tonne of times before, but this time they just wouldn't work, so i had to place flaps over them. They're still functional, but not as cute as they could have been.

Gosh she is just so darn cute!

All the stuff I make I make using my own patterns. i have folders chock full of inspiration on my computer, and I hope some of this stuff inspires some of you wonderful people!

i will post more stuff later on this week.
