Crafty goodness!

OKAY! so the past three months i've taken on some serious craftiness. I've started sewing, crocet, and leather working. I've pretty much mastered the basics of cloak making as of now. I know how to do gromits/eyelits, etc etc. At the renfaire today they sold a 30 lb roll of leather for $30.. many different colors..aka options @_@ i'mma make shoes!

.. And i've started getting back into my steamy-punky stuff.. If you guys didn't know, i love steam punk fashion.. so uhh.. yeah. i made my 1st pair of goggles <_<.. i need to make them better though.. AND I WILL @___@ One of my rennie faire buddy said he'd teach me some leather working if i'd help him make a line of steampunk type art and so forth ^_^

My camera is missing in action, so i'll show you guys pictures later.

Eh, Steampunk fashion is pretty much neo-victorian done with a semi-modern twist. A neat style because nearly anything goes within that theme, it's the most open ended style I can think of.

You've recently found out that you have got a case of rapidly growing ovarian cancer, and you're thinking about a camera and steampunk fashion? 

[Delfina]

No no ..its a parasite, not cancer Tis going to suck the life outta me!

.. And yes. Plus i'm going to be making a majority of my baby clothes and so forth ^_^ I got the cutest pattern for baby booties and stuff Both in leather and in fabric! >=3

Steampunk baby = yes.

Baby = parasite = no.

The baby is a part of your baby until you squeeze the little leech out. THEN it becomes a parasite.

Omgz. I'm wading into the depths of steam fashion as well I love it. We should definitely collaborate!

I'm trying to pin down the basics of using my sewing machine now. Its like driving a car, and I'm just trying to get a good, steady speed going to where my top stitches don't have too much tension, and so my bobbin stitches aren't too loose. Its a winning battle though.

I started studying Victorian fashion, and found most things big and clumsy, as if the whole idea was, "Ok folks! Wrap her in a big black dress and call it good!" I'm glad Steam takes it and puts a sexy sci-fi twist on it while maintaining the elegant, well-crafted look of the Victorian era. I have a whole slew of websites, sewing patterns, and flicker pages bookmarked for inspiration! ^___^
