One of the most difficult aspects of this dress was the collar. I originally thought I could make the collar by interfacing it with an extra-heavy interfacing: hah!
The weight of the dress pulls fabric right out of shape, even with fusible interfacing AND extra-heavy non-woven interfacing.
What finally worked is TWO layers of extra heavy interfacing, on cut with the grain vertical vs. gravity, on with the grain parallel to the edges. Thu upper layer is interfaces with a fusible.
The front and back pieces are sewn together with a wide zig-zag (gosh, I love my industrial Pfaff!), and the edges are reinforces with millinery wire.
she didnt stay nude. it was too distracting and seemed to be the only thing people noticed when they saw it in the studio.

I was going through some old photos and found these salt & pepper shakers I made over 2 years ago. www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=5317669
As soon as I saw them I thought "Hey! Cupcakes!" I thought a single sugar shaker would make more sense than S&P.
I liked this painting but it was to dark, and I thought it would look good as a drawing in black and white. So I am starting with white and black on gray paper.
Ok, here's the story on this. Flash back to last November. My company held it's end of year/Christmas/Holiday party. This also coincided with our company quarterly all-hands. They passed out these sheets of magnets with our "defining qualities" or some such on them. Signs of the same are literally plastered all over the offices. Anyway, as the night (read, drinking and socializing) went on, Jenny (on the right in this picture) decided that what we really needed to do was to cover our VP's truck with them. Actually, it may not have been her idea. I can't remember. But she's a go-getter, especially with a few beers in her, and spent about an hour collecting these magnets from everyone in the joint. Somehow Brad (the VP) got wind of it. Brad's a good guy. He's smart and good at his job and just a wee bit tightly wound. He walked over and said, "If there's a single magnet on my truck, you're fired." And then laughed. We think. Then he gave Jenny a twenty if she'd put them on someone else's truck. But he wasn't there, so Jenny pocketed the 20. She's holding it in some of the other photos. And then, we waited... and waited... and waited. Linda, Brad's admin, came to us today and told us that he would be in a 90 minute meeting with his boss and a bunch of other folks. It was a catered lunch meeting in a conference room on the interior of the building. No windows. And a guarantee he wouldn't leave that room for an hour and a half. Now, here's the other good part. A few weeks ago, Brad decided to start a weekly contest to submit photos/videos of people having fun at work. Brad and a representative from HR choose the best photo and it becomes a caption contest. So naturally this is what we submitted.
After we took the photos, we removed the magnets. Well, most of them...
Brad came by and took his $20 back.
Horatio Nelson-inspired cuffs in progress. Navy blue gabardine, gold braid, gold crest buttons, laced with navy blue grosgrain ribbon.
Here the underlining (white) has been applied and the lining (black) is ready to be sewn on.
I don't know why she reminds me of Blondie here. She doesn't have carved lips, it's done with paint ;-)
