Lumikettu's Adventures in Kimono: huhtikuuta 2013

http://lumikettukimono.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

Lumikettu's Adventures in Kimono. Maanantai 15. huhtikuuta 2013. The magical kimono is a pain in the buns. So today (finally) I tried on the red "magical" kimono. It's pretty, it's magical, it's silky, it's one heck of a thing to put on! The collars are slipping open all the time! And I need to find a good, calming obi to wear with it. Although I think that in it's spirit it's a rocker, as it seemed to go nicely with the leather tsuke obi. CONGRATULATIONS MR. HIDDLESTON! Lauantai 6. huhtikuuta 2013.

old-fashioned beauty: March 2012

http://oldfashionedbeauty.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Monday, March 19, 2012. Late last week, I made this denim skirt in three days. Without a pattern. It comes just below the knee, has a wide waistband, and made of six gores. I'm really happy with how it turned out! Button closure on the side adds a nautical flair. I did french seams, and then top-stitched all the seams. Oh well. Maybe the good Lord knew I didn't need that fabric. Wednesday, March 7, 2012. Kensington - American Duchess' new shoes. Blog and check it out! Tuesday, March 6, 2012. I know, it's...

Silk, Velvet, and Lace: April 2012

http://www.silkvelvetandlace.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Silk, Velvet, and Lace. Monday, April 9, 2012. So, when I bought a whole bunch of eyelet trim. I thought I had enough. Nowhere near. So I went out to buy another 15 metres or so. Well, I couldn't find it at the local Fabricland, nor the nearest three, nor the huge one on Ottawa street. It turns out they've discontinued it! And, moreover, the company that makes it has been acquired by another, and they don't really exist anymore! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Silk, Velvet, and Lace: Costume Festivals!

http://www.silkvelvetandlace.com/2011/03/costume-festivals.html

Silk, Velvet, and Lace. Friday, March 18, 2011. Okay, so I recently became aware that Milton is host to both the Pirate Festival. And a Renaissance Festival. Every summer. I knew about the Pirate Festival and got to attend a little bit of it last year, which was really cool, but I didn't realize there was also second costume-recommended festival as well. Also, Casa Loma. Has one, and that would just be absolutely fantastic - to wander around the castle grounds and gardens while it's been made into a faire.

Silk, Velvet, and Lace: Yarr...It be a Puffy Shirt

http://www.silkvelvetandlace.com/2012/06/yarrit-be-puffy-shirt.html

Silk, Velvet, and Lace. Saturday, June 2, 2012. YarrIt be a Puffy Shirt. So, I have begun the construction of the pirate shirt I promised Jon for last year's pirate fest, and then last year's halloween. :/. In actual fact, it's a very straightforward shirt: I could finish it in an evening. So, naturally, I decided to embroider the cuffs and neckline. I'll have to get a better picture later. But long story short, I make life difficult for myself. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.
