Sewing in Nature!

I just could not bear the thought of being indoors! I took a day for myself and setup outside in the beautiful fall Virginia weather.  This dress is cotton with orange elephant buttons and rick rack over tan. This goes nicely with an orange ombré silk indian scarf I just bought. Did you ever sew a whole dress to match a scarf? Insane.

Finished Project: Halloween Pinup Dress- Late 50s Inspired

Image
  I forget which on-line fabric store I first spotted this print. It's another discontinued Alexander Henry Print. GOD I LOVE THAT COMPANY. This is the same pattern as the other double collar dress I posted. I wore this for a Halloween Ball in the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania. I had a cute little feather hat with a veil. This dress is PURE awesome, and I will be wearing it to band shows for sure. Like MINISTRY says: Every Day is Halloween! sin cinturon Funny story about that hair bow. It came off of it's clip. I was gluing it onto another clip. Like a complete dumbass, After I glued it, I held it up to my hair...with glue not solid yet. Si! I actually glued the bow to mi cabello! Que tonta! I  had to pull my hair out! con cinturon Do you like it better with belt or without belt? Now that I see both, I think I might like no belt better... The original pattern has cuff sleeves. I made scallop sleeves instead. It was part of my master plan to nail down making those tricky bas...

Psycho Sue isn't so psycho anymore, what happened there?

I don't really identify with "Psycho Sue" anymore. I am in the process of emerging from a cocoon I guess. I don't have a name yet. You can just call me Suzanne. I have been focusing on developing my spirituality since October and I have not been feeling much like blogging. It's kinda hard to talk about sewing when you are preoccupied with enlightenment. LOL I wish I could explain it but I can't. I have just been pulled into this direction looking for inner peace and wisdom. I have been growing as a person and started doing daily meditations for lots of reasons. I guess I have become a Christian Mystic. I know, that doesn't make sense. But I never made sense anyway. But that's another story. In short, I kind of realized how much negative energy was in my life, and I wanted to remove it all. It included shuffling positions at work, leaving a project I had devoted 7 years to....among other things. I am feeling good now! I still have been reading comments ...

Handmade Clothes are My Skin

Image
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??
