Cushions

I made some cushions for +Alison Woogara  and +Nadine Woogara 's birthdays. Mum gave me an extra challenge by only providing me with enough fabric to comfortably make 1 cushion, so they ended up being a bit patchwork on the back.

I used the following patterns:

• Here Comes the Sun
• Ruby Sun

Turkish trousers

Mina, helping with the pleating

I attempted to make some Turkish trousers for +Kalyn Wilson using this pattern. The pattern required a certain amount of interpretation, and I annoyingly made a couple of mistakes, but I think it's at least wearable and I got a lot of practice in making pleats! I'll add some pictures of her wearing it at the 1318 LARP this weekend.

I've added a project in my sewing circle.

Yay, finished trousers.

Jane Austen dress

 I made this dress so that we could go to the Jane Austen ball in Bath. Unfortunately I didn't have time to make +Nadine Woogara one too, so her's was hired, maybe next time. I used this pattern.

Bustle skirt

I made a bustled skirt for a steam punk event. It was from a McCall costumes pattern M6097

Star Trek Tailcoat and Corset

For Sid and Liz' wedding I made a tailcoat and corset, as I was the best (wo)man :)

The corset I drafted myself and I was very pleased with the outcome. Note the tick on the hip which is based on Next Gen uniform.

 Lots of pips :)

The tailcoat was based on the pattern V7906 http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/v7906-products-335.php?page_id=3534 I extended the back to make the tail.
