Spiegel 1945 this Catalog Sunday
My parrot shirts!
Hello everyone!
Hope you all had a great Mother's day and your week is going well.
I've been busy sewing about 65 units for a small production, working on patterns, and doing some illustration as well. Whew!
In between all of that I made these tiki inspired shirts for a friend who is going to program the parrots to say witty and funny things. You know, like you do.
The goal was to make the wings be able to flap under the shirts, which I kinda did, but the range of the flappage wasn't as wide as I assumed the wings moved when I had the model to base the shirt from.
I began with a template I made and worked out as many issues as I thought I'd run up against.
The Amy and other goodies!!
Hello lovely people!
It's been busy in the studio of Shelley. I'm working on a clothing production (NDA) and that has been my bread and butter for a while, and for a while longer.
I also invested in another serger for this project. Really happy about having twin sergers.
I'm working on the NVL patterns, and The Amy is done and shipping, so if you want the pattern, it's available in my Etsy store. I'm working on the next pattern right now and once I re-draw the cover, I'll announce it.
I've also taken on another dress from one of my kickstarter backers.
Plus, I made tiki shirts for animatronic puppets, because, because.
So much going on!
Whew!
I need to make some time to go through my vintage catalogs for catalog Sunday so I can post more images. I'm running really low on my scans.
Okay lovely people, that's it for now. I'm super tired and I just had a beer on an empty stomach, so I need to go to bed.
Tomorrow is a trip to the fabric store to get some supplies. Eep!
Have a great day!
