#sowing project

[ebearcrochet]

I’m tending a new class this year, Textile and Fashiondesign. It’s a mix of learning about fashion trends through out time, learning how to go from an idea to a pattern to a product that can be mass produced at a factory, and then a fare share of technique so that we can actually cut and sow a pattern. In short it’s and introduction course to fashion design as a education.

Our first project was - not surprisingly - to sow a mask. Here are some pictures of the both the process and the prototype.

Kingdoms LARP: The dress

I’m still working on the bag. I’m not sure how I’m going to make the strap. I don’t have a lot of strap sized leather pieces laying around, and I have no money to spend on anything beyond the necessaries this month.

But, yeah, I’ll figure something out eventually.

On the other hand I started my first sewing project in ages. It’s a dress that I actually planned to use for another larp (it has been postponed until next summer).

I bought the fabric back in January or something, and have just pushed the actual sowing infront of me for ages. But now I need a larp-dress in under a month so here we go

This bias was really tricky, and to be honest I’m not savvy enough to make one. It turned out pretty well and it looks great when I wear it.

Now I just need to add a ton of accessories so I’ll look equal parts barbarian and cunning tradesman.

I’ll try and take a picture of the dress tomorrow when the lights a little better. Right now I gets too many shadows in my picture for you to see the dress properly
