The lounging jacket from The Invisible Man

Attn:

Thank you all for the interest in this garment. 

For those who are contacting me now (2022) please understand, this is not just a Halloween costume you can pull off the rack at Target. It's a handmade couture custom tailored garment. A beyond lifelong piece. Please expect pricing to reflect that.

If you want to get into the cue for 2023, I start taking commissions again in February.

Thank you.

Hello lovely people.

I has been some time since I've made a post on a garment that I've made for myself....and this is no exception.

I've been working on my new pattern line which is coming along nicely, I've been making new dresses for backers, and I've been doing alterations for others, all the while, trying to make that rent!

This is a project that I've been involved with for a long time.

I wanted to post these again because I liked them so much.

Catalog Thursday because I'm super late.

Ugh, Ive got so many plates in the air, but I really need to get back to keeping up my Catalog SUndays. SO here is a super late (or very early) Catalog Sunday!

Oops, I'd been working on my patterns all day. Totally forgot about Catalog Sunday.
Also, son't forget about my new kickstarter campaign, a plus size illustrated pin up calendar! Could use the support!

This week is Spiegel 1945. These are some great summer and fall looks!

Working on my new repro, The Gibson

Hello lovely people.

the pattern making is mad crazy over here. Got The Deidra all ready and as soon as it comes back from the printer, the paper version will be in the hands of those that want it (hopefully everyone).

The next pattern in the line is a 1910 walking ensemble I've named The Gibson. It consists of a blouse and walking skirt that I modified to work with a larger body.

Take a look at one of the mock ups. Sausage, my 44 bust dress form is modeling.

Going back into the fray with this today. Wish me luck!

Yay Sewing!
