Handmade Clothes are My Skin

I tried. What? I tried wearing RTW clothes this weekend. I have not worn RTW clothes (on the left side of my closet) since winter!!

And yes, my closet is segragated...RTW on the left side and Handmade on the right.

Everyday I wear clothes that I made personally and it feels great. I have so many intresets and moods and images that I am in love with....and they are all there on the right side of my closet!
Monsters!!!
 SKULLS!
Dames!!!!
UBER GIRLIE PRINTS!
THE ROCKABILLY!
 THE GOTHIC!
THE QUIRKY!

Every DAY I am able to express my feeling dujor! And babies, I JUST CANNOT GO BACK to all RTW clothes. I tell you- IT does NOT feel right! It feels like I crawled into someone else's skin! Which is ok for a Rob Zombie movie; but not ok for moi!
How has sewing made you feel about wearing off the rack clothes? Or maybe if you do not sew; you can realate to wearing mostly vintage or non-mainstream clothing designs, perhaps??

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

Love handmade rockabilly items by me? Selling jewelry!

A long time ago I had this crazy idea to make and sell jewelry. I made up a bunch of items that never sold. Everything here is handmade by me. It has to go as a package though. The whole lot of 8 necklaces, 4 earrings, and 2 sweater clips sells for $40 plus shipping. Email me mlcloset@yahoo.com The little round ones are classic horror movies.
