Project #19 Completed!

Pretty pumped about these pants! My first real go at it.. I showed a few people, and they weren't feeling them, but I disagree.. I love them! And I want a pair, hahaa. I made them for myself, but they don't fit.. and there's no way to make them fit, so.. I'm screwed. But, anyone smaller than me is welcome to try them on? Haha.

I did these a much different way that I have before. I actually cut out pattern pieces (which I had to reconstruct to add the leather), and then sewed them all together. I also installed three zippers, two on the bottoms of the legs, and one at the top. They're definitely more slacks/pants, than jeans, but they just look that way because of the inside-out denim. A semi-close fit to me.. But I have too big of knees or calves or something, because it was not getting over them, hahaa. And it took five hours trying to get them off. But anywayy!

I really have to get crackin' with some new fabric, considering I really don't have much. I'll see what I have around and try to come up with a new design. I didn't realize how hard making 52 items was going to be, and I'm really behind.. Hmm.. And with my move approaching.. Ahh! Hopefully I can make up time this summer!

Let me know what you think!

Project #19: Low Stripe Knee Pad Jeans

I'm so excited for this! I bought everything last night, and it was pretty expensive, but I'm hoping I do a good enough job to wear these pants!



I bought some denim, and I'm using the reverse side, because it's much more fierce, and some pleather. Also, I got 3 zippers, because I need one for the top, and two for each leg at the bottom. Overall, it was around $15. But, if I make them really nice, that's not a bad deal for sweet pants that no one has.

I'm getting to work straight away this morning, so happy sewing!

Project #18 Completed!

I went a little crazy on these sleeves.. Haha. I tamed them down for the pictures, but they could definitely be puffed. This is definitely tranny flamenco dancer fierce. And Jesus crucifixion chic. I had to cut the bottom short because I didn't have enough fabric, so it's really just a shirt.

Yeahh.. Hahaa. I mean, I kind of like it, don't judge me. I think if they were on a body, it'd be much better. It's hard to tell, but I used my old technique of making sleeves wrong to my advantage this time, to give a line around the shoulders..

I'm really making this one short, but there it is. Not my best work, but it's done!

Can't wait for the next project.. It's a design I've been dying to do, will definitely be a challenge, and it's for me! I'll announce it tomorrow and will try to finish by Friday.
