Look What I Made

First off, I'm sorry about being gone for so long. There was so much school to attend to and I wasn't feeling inspired by my clothes anymore so with those combined, I just didn't ever have time or feel like blogging.

With that being said, recently I was feeling inspired to make something like I used to. I'm one of those people that gets more inspiration from the textiles above anything else. I went to Walmart because I didn't want to spend a lot on something that may or may not turn out and I didn't have a clear direction for it. I went through their selection and was bored by everything but clear vinyl and white tulle (that was way too shiny and looked cheap). So I got 4 yards of vinyl! 2 of them were even half off.

I downloaded the Pete pattern from Burdastyle and it's a free pattern so feel free to download it. I use it every time when I do something that can be based off a shirt pattern. It just makes everything so much easier.

So after a couple hours of measuring, cutting, & sewing, it was done!

It's shorter in the front than in the back and opens in the front, like a vest

I really enjoyed working with vinyl, it was my first time and somehow I always decide to work with complicated fabrics but this tutorial really helped so if you're not familiar with sewing vinyl, have a look.

Have you made anything out of vinyl? Have you made anything recently? What'd you think? Leave a comment.

Christoper Kane Spring 2013

Christopher Kane unveiled his latest collection at London Fashion Week and boy was it magical!

There was everything from black leather to white leather to "taped" garments to jelly bows.

If any of that confused you (as I'm sure it probably did), look at the beauties below!

There's nothing like quilted white leather to say "Fierce bitch".

The first showings of the "tape" on the pieces.

The drapery on here is impeccable. I love how it just looks folded on itself like it's naturally there, wow.

BOWS

She's a nicely-wrapped Christmas present. Quite elegant.

You might have to click on the photo to fully see it but the skirt is jellied! The black laced strings are gelatinous! GELATINOUS, I SAY!

Properly-placed bows are always welcomed.

Okay, do you see it? This is what I mean! The dress has embellishments taped to it! Like they're TAPED onto the fabric. You would think that would look über trashy but it totally doesn't. It reads high fashion so much. I would wear this jacket.

He always looks so cool, be my friend Christopher!

Would you wear any of these pieces? If so, which ones? Leave a comment below..
