steampunk go!

[aimeekitty]

some fashion stuff I've been inspired by lately:
CherryBlossom Girl
Skin Graft Designs
Viona-Art
porkshanks' DA

Been working on my steampunk design. I'm having a lot of fun playing around with it. ^_______^

I just bought the patterns.
I'm going to use some of my left-over-from-a-project-I-will-never-complete fabric for the skirt and jacket. Huzzah! I'm going to take the design from my fobwatch and embroider it (I hope) on the back of the jacket and add some small golden clock movements. I'll wear the victorian corset I made a while back underneath.

BELOW: Some of the other things shown are just little accessories I've gotten to put all over it when I'm done. ... the little glass ball and vial of sand glow in the dark. The gold clockwork item (to the middle left of the skirt) with the blue bead is a necklace. There's also a naval sextant in there (far bottom left). (LOVE!)

The gun is a Nerf gun that I'm going to mod. (it has a night light, too!) I started it last night. Man, Nerf guns are way cooler than when I was a kid. I'm impressed.

I'd say "it's easy" but you never k now with these historical patterns. there might be a simplicity one though...! you could always take a sewing class at your local joanns or something. :) just takes practice

I don't finish things for years because I don't want to put in zippers. But scoundelle will let me bring stuff over and help :)

well, you're in luck! this skirt has no zipper!

only 24 irritatingly monotonous button-holes!!
