Finished Project: "She's got the Jack" Dress

If you watched the sewing video for Simplicity 2247, You saw that I used some Robert Kauffman fabric to try out the bodice. I only had a yard of this cute little playing card print, but now It's become a HOT-ASS DRESS!
My 10th wedding anniversay was last Thursday, so we hopped on the DC metro and went to the National Art Museum. AWESOME! These two pictures with my Jackalope friend are in the sculpture garden!
I am in love with the pockets!
My Man wore the red dice shirt I made him. together we were very "Vegas." Poker and Dice LOL
A lady asked us if we had ever been on TV (one of the guards at the museum) Weird question, right?
Ok, so what the hell is this dress? HA! That's a trick question! The top is Simplicity 2247, the pockets are my own design, and the skirt is MY SUSPENDER SKIRT!
I murdered it! Chopped it up and put it on this bodice! Muhahahah! I like it better in this form actually!
Pretty flowers...and a Psycho awwwww
You like my pug purse? LOL
And here's what 10 years of marriage to a Psycho does! LOL Don't we look like we are in Rome or something?


Ok here's some painting porn....
Don't know who painted this, it was in the French room I think....WOW! It's Veronica's Veil and it looks like a REAL Jesus head

And here are the Vermeer's ( conincedently I was just given pearl earrings for the anniversary ha!)
I love how Dutch painters use light sparingly

A commissioned portrait by Dali....we took this one illegally LOL it's part of a traveling exhibit (along with all the Monet's Picasso, and Renoirs grrrrrrr) so you can't photograph it.

Ok now you know I am an art junkie.
But what Psycho isn't I say!
STAY GLAM!!!

Finished Project: Have You Seen This Dress Somewhere Before?

Image
 Yep, the material is the same as my last project. I can safely say that I have two one of a kind dresses for a total of $40 handmade! I only have a few scraps of this left. The first dress is 40s era. This second dress is 50s era. If you watched my last video on my youtube channel, this is the pattern that I showed you how I adapted the collar. This Advance Pattern has a beautiful double collar. It's just the cutest. Well...it's at least a CUTE pain in my ass to sew. LOL  The skirt portion is my sloper. The amount of material I had left from the last dress was not enough to make a full skirt. So I used the fitted skirt sloper. It shows off my curves.  The little calf leather box purse I found at a local vintage shop. I love it!  Round booty doin it's duty! Ok so this pattern originally has these cute upturned contrast cuffs. I made them and hated them. They just do NOT look good on me. I love how cute they are, but because my upper arms are bigger, the cuff just pulls the

Finished Project: THE 50s SKELANIMALS DRESS!

Image
When I found out that I could buy Skelanimals fabric, I was so excited! I love the Skelanimals that you can buy at Hot Topic. So this is the first ever Skelanimals 50s inspired dress....I think. LOL  The pattern for the neckline is copied from a late 50s McCalls pattern. I added red piping to make it pop.  I also made a red belt. I used a buckle from a pair of my shoes that had fallen apart.  The skirt is cut on the bais.  I also cut sleeves on the bias.  I drafted a seam pocket on the one side. I made it a bit too low, but it will still come in handy!  The sleeves have small red rick tack to add a second touch of color. From far away it looks like all dots, but close up you can see the Skelanimals! I think it looks very Lucy! I wore it to my acoustic gig last night  It matches my vintage looking hollow body guitar!

Psycho Sue Reveals Her Seedy Past: and an Inspiring Poem by Sarah

Image
-Marilyn Monroe As well as being a musician, artist, and seamstress, I am a person who fights for equality, kindness, understanding, and acceptance. Close to my heart is the fight for people to accept their bodies for what they are, so they can find inner peace and live a happier life. As readers and friends, you can see that I have confidence, sex appeal, and I enjoy showing off who and what I am by making myself the most amazing dresses and performing on stage. Why? -Because I have struggled with bullies in the past and have overcome it. -Because I have starved my body to extremes, made my self throw up in public alleyways behind restaurants, exercised so much that I have permanently damaged parts of my body,  told myself that I was ugly and no one could ever love me -Because I felt like the lowest of the low, no matter what I wore -Because i have seen other little girls who should be happy and glowing; sink into a depression and shrink back from the world who labels them as rejects
