Rogue goes business

For some reason I wanted to make a vest with zippers on the waist. The vest ended up looking quite "formal" well as formal as I can look but I don't really mind. My vision wasn't quite clear at the fabric store. And mostly the problem always seems to be that even if your plans are done you are never going to find the exact kind of fabric that you were visioning of using.

  Also I had tough time deciding want kind of collar I wanted to make. I wanted the fabric to have some kind of texture on it and I found this. Not exactly what I wanted since the fall fabrics have not yet arrived to Eurokangas. I used thin cotton for lining since I did not want to use regular lining fabric. I don't like the feel of it because it is so slippery.

The fabric was 17,90 €/meter I managed to make this out of 0,7 meters. The cotton fabric was 6,90 €/meter and I needed this fabric 0,4 meters. And the zippers were 3,85 € a piece and I used 2 of those.

So with my calculations the full amount was 23 €

Since I had such trouble deciding what kind of collar to make on this one I decided that I'm going to make another one for the fall and winter. It is going to look whole lot different. Only thing that is going to look same is the bottom part. I'm planing on making it out of one cool wool blend fabric that I saw at Eurokangas. I'm going to add either real or fake leather. The front is going to be solid and there is going to be high collar. 

This morning I also made this leather strap dress. It has smocking on the shoulders and on the bottom part of the dress on the sides. The fabric is some sort of stretchy viscose blend. I really like the feel of the fabric. I spray painted the buckles since I was not able to find black buckles anywhere. The back side of the dress also has V-shaped neckline.

Tomorrow I'll be selling my personal items at Hämeenpuisto Puisto Fiesta flea market from 11.00 till I don't know yet. If you have time please come and see my flea market table since I really want to sell some stuff and clear out some closet space... Lots of jewelry, clothing and shoes.

Gothic splatter

I do this kind of clothes very rarely that come so close to the neck. I don't know if I'm afraid of getting chocked or what but not everything has to be so open and sexy. So I decided to make one. 

Collar has smocking on the side seams. There is small elastane inside. Also I decided to continue the smocking on the shoulders. I wanted to keep this dress very simple so that I can wear it with a wide belt or big necklaces. And since the fabric has already so much going on it is not good good to add so much different shapes to it but that's just my opinion.

The fabric is stretchy cotton jersey. I really like the print but it does not like to be stretched too much or the print will crack. So I had to take notice of this while cutting the fabric to make it slightly bigger than I usually would. 

Once again this fabric was found from Eurokangas fabric bins. I make great finds from those but the only problem is that they are usually just small pieces and you will not be able to find more of it. 

With the cross necklace it seems to be very Gothic but it looks totally different with other accessories. This dress would also look good made out of just plain viscose jersey or maybe with my logo on top...hmm.....

I once again wanted to use the left over fabric usefully and made a beanie out of it. Beanies are great for the fall and spring.

This beanie will for sale at Ateljeekatu.

Shredding

Yesterday evening was interesting since I went to the movie theater with Mr. Grumpy. The theater room was empty it was just us two. Kinda spooky but also kinda cool. It did not mater if we ate candy and the packaging made noise.

I've wanted this kind of shirt for a while now. There is lots of them in Etsy but I rather do it myself. Finally last night I decided to make one. Just before leaving for the theater I managed to shred this shirt and wear it to the theater. It took almost 3 hours to shred this shirt but I think it was time well spend and quite therapeutic at the same time. 

I did the same thing for 2 sleeveless tops in the back side. They are not yet done since I'm going to put a print in the front. The other one is going to have 2 praying skeletons and the other one is going to have deer antlers. 

I wanted to keep this shirt simple so that I can accessorize it with like a long necklace and earrings. Yesterday I wore it with short shorts and sandals.

Housewarming party and flea market finds

Me and Mr. Grumpy had Housewarming party yesterday with few close friends. 

Tii had made a special super cool chocolate on chocolate on chocolate cake for us. Cake was really tasty and good thing there is still little bit of it left in the fridge for me to eat later. We got really nice housewarming presents from people even thought it was not necessary for anyone to bring anything.

This has been a great summer for making great flea market finds. I bought this 120 cm x 170 cm carpet for 15 €!!! It seems to be quite new. Again I was supposed to selling my own stuff at Sorsapuisto and not buying more!! Well I did need a carpet so it really wasn't wasted money. 

I think my office still needs some art or picture frames in the walls. Hmm.. In Löytöliiteri there were  few grey deer heads for sale. They were made out of some sort of clay but they weren't too heavy. Those would be nice painted white. Also I'm planing on painting the clothing rack white. Obviously the theme seems to be white and black with slight rococo feeling and few owls and deers.

I might still need to move some furniture around to make the space much more practical.

Soon I'll be able to take pictures of the whole office. Well as soon as I feel like I'm done with this project.

Feeling crafty

Same crafty theme seems to be continuing this morning that has going for the whole week. 

I've trying to find this kind of belt for a long time. I was able to find this kind of belt in Etsy but it was brown and I wanted it in black. 

So I had to make it myself. The belt is adjustable so it can be worn in the waist or in the hips. I was able to find the black leather from Eurokangas Outlet that is located in Ideapark in Lempäälä. The leathers in there are 50 €/kg. And most of them are really thick and not bending well. 

There was one suede leather that caught my attention. Usually I don't like the look of suede leathers but that one looked and felt really nice. Now I just hate myself since I did not buy it.  

I wish they also would have leathers in Tampere but nope.

Well I might take another bike trip to Ideapark and go get it before it is gone forever.

The buckles and small studs (in the back side) are from Ebay.

This top I made out of left over fabrics that I had. The front is mesh and the back and the straps are viscose tricot. I wanted to make this top a bit more loose that I usually make. 

 More harnesses. Why? Because I can. 

I made the front leather part out of my mother's over 20 years old hand bag.

It is so cool how you can do so much new things out of old things. I just wish I was more creative and seeing the potential of old things.

Skeletal remains

I have not been in a mood for sewing so I've been doing other crafty things. Like renewing old heels that I had bought from a friend two years ago but never used myself since they were too simple for my taste. The shoes were originally 29.90 € from Seppälä but I paid less than half of that. I tried selling them but it is really difficult to be able to find a buyer that has foot as large as 41. Good thing the shoes were in great shape so they actually don't look second hand.

Most of the time I had no idea what I was doing since this was only my second time using Fimo. The first was few days ago so I'm really no experienced. So tool that I used black Fimo crafting mass, super glue and silver acrylic paint.

I'm really pleased with the finished shoes. Even thought in the middle of the project I was ready to give up. I'm really not good at shaping crafting mass. I painted the black fimo with silver paint to look more dated and to pop up more.

It seems this weeks theme has been renewing old and used stuff and learning new crafting skills.
