Lady Gaga in progress

by tomorrow this will be a muslin ready for fitting

Updating shirts

My client has these shirts she does not wear because she dislikes some of the style and fit elements. I am going to do some basic alterations which should really update them.  I will put before and afters but right now, they are all glommed together on a dress form next to Elton John.

Last last minute costume

I hope they hire me to make this Seahawks head. It is super cute.

New Dress to make custom version of.

Love this dress.  I am going to make a custom version of it for a client

Elton John getting started

Lots to learn so I started with the first part of the top.  So far, I think it will work.

curtains to curtains

I just finished a "curtains" phase.  This client bought 8 giant curtains that were too long so I shortened them. Thanks goodness I have an industrial sewing machine as well as my others. This took a strong machine and lots of room.

mini paper pattern draft of lady gaga outfit

After much doodling and thinking, I have a plan.  The pattern will be a trapezoid of sorts.  There will be a front extension on the right.  If this is a go, I will do a muslin, fit my client, make a real pattern, cut it, fit it then finalize. 
This little model is good for stuff like this.
