Steampunk day

I made this steampunk themed hair clip for me to wear in TAFF: Tampere Fetish Factory event. I'll be selling my products there so be sure to be there.

Here's a link to the events website: http://www.rsyke.net/taff2014.php

For this hair clip I used most random stuff that mom brought me for this project. I painted them with copper colored acrylic paint. The button was from a vintage dress that I remember seeing at my home when I was a child.

I still have small amount of this snake print fake leather so I could do few to be sold at TAFF. I just need to find more random stuff to make them even more cool looking.

 I wanted to make a dress with a simple cut so that I could use the buckles. I had mane buckles that did not have a pair so I was a great chance to use them. In the top part I used weird metal thing and I have no idea what it is supposed to be but it looks cool so who cares. 

There is a zipper in the back to help putting the dress on. I did not want to make the dress too short because I need to be able to sit for hours in this dress. 

 I made this steampunk themed vest for sale. The vest does not fit the mannequin properly because the mannequin does not have arms or proper shoulders. The vest is supposed to fit loosely on the shoulders but not as much as on the mannequin. There is small snap hooks on the sides. 

Fits size S and price is 40 € + shipping.

Tops for fall?

Well not really since they are not warm enough to be worn when the weathers get colder but I did them anyways. I can always wear them with a cardigan.

Well fall subjects put to side I made new tops again. Who would have guessed? And of course with "slight" harness/bondage details.

I made the black one first but then I liked the shape of it so much that I made a second one with slight changes. The straps are fake leather that I had bought from Karnalux from Estonia. I just ordered the last 100 meters of this strap from there so that I won't run out as fast as last time.

I bought this sliver/grey/black fabric from Abakhan fabrics which is also located in Estonia. I really like their fabrics and especially the prices aren't too high. This fabric happened to be in mixed fabrics bin.  I still have small piece of this left so we will see what I'll create out of it. I has no idea what it will turn into.

So I made this black version from left over fabric from my previous dress projects. 

I had to but a seam in the top front part because I didn't have enough fabric left.

Fall is coming

I know it is sad that summer went so fast yet again.. And what's even more sad I spend most of my time indoors. Okay I was doing what I like but still so sad.

Well we can't run from the fact that fall is coming and I need to start thinking about fall clothing. This nice knitted grey fabric is from Eurokangas 14,90 €/meter. I wanted to make really simple cardigan to wear on to of my awesome tops.

I do have many cardigans that have the same cut but not in grey. They all happen to be surprise surprise black so I wanted to do something different well at least something different for me.

They are so easy to wear and they look cool open or with a belt on top.

I did put small spikes on the shoulders so that it does not look all that boring. They are acrylic and are hand sewn. I had trouble deciding between silver and gunmetal spikes but as you can see I ended up choosing the silver spikes.

Out of the left over fabric I made 2 beanies like this. I already sold one at Ateljeekatu and the other one is still waiting for a buyer in there. Price: 15 €

Spine skirt and new product

I ended up making the skirt that I said I would. I wanted to make it out of black cotton jersey but Eurokangas had none of quality that I needed. So I used something that I already had in my storage.  The fabric has slight snake skin type surface. I had bought this fabric from Euronkangas on my previous visit to there. I really like the finished skirt and I'm glad I ended up using this fabric and not just regular black fabric. The fabric slightly looks like leather in the finished product. 

This skit was much faster to make since I make the pleats wider than in the grey dress. In the dress they were 1 cm wide and in this on they are 1.5 cm. I took around 1,5 hours to make the pleats in the skirt. Of course the skirt is much shorted than the dress so I did not have to do as many pleats anyways. But when you make the pleats wider it much faster but also not as awesome. But I think the skirt ended up looking amazing and I can't wait to be able to wear it in public.

There is small zipper in the back to help putting the skirt on. I also putted 3 cm wide rubber band in the waist to stiffen it. I wanted the waist to have slight stretch.

I really want to make a jacket with this technique since I have not yet bulled my hair out. But that happens to mean new trip to Euronkangas before I go to Ateljeekatu today. I'll be there till 17.00 if you want to visit.

Here's small close up of the pleats.

Last night I made these new cross earring available for you. They are 10 € + shipping / pair. 

I have only 4 pairs since I wanted to keep 1 pair to my self so these so they will run out fast. 

You can buy them from Etsy as soon as I list them. Also available at Ateljeekatu.

Harness yet again.

  I'm actually starting to think I have some sort of fixation for harnesses. Well I don't mind. I know they might look quite S&M for regular day wear but I don't care. 

The harness is separate piece. I was going to slightly sew the harness to the dress from the sides but I noticed that it was much easier to get into the dress it they were separates. I never do just tube type of dresses but this time I did because the harness has already so much going on.

The harness is real leather that I bought from Eurokangas Outlet. Same leather that I used last week or the week before that for the waist belt. The size is slightly adjustable because of the 4 buckles in the front.

I putted rubber band inside the top part of the dress so that it would stay up properly and I would not have to keep pulling up the dress all the time. I was afraid of it sliding down because the jersey that I used was quite heavy. I tried the dress and it didn't seem to fall even a little bit. Yay!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And then I wanted to make very simple top with O-ring detail to give it small bondage feel to it. I wanted to keep this top extremely simple for regular day wear. Again I used viscose jersey because I like the feel and stretchiness of it. Well not much to say about this top because it is so simple but I wanted to show it to you guys anyways.

Spine earrings

Same theme seems to be continuing this morning than yesterday. I seem to have some sort of theme for every week. We'll see what else I'll be doing today. Maybe a spike back jacket?

 I decided to make these cool spine themed earrings for me. Since I really like long dangle earrings. And of course I had to but small spike in the bottoms because I have not used any kind of spikes on my clothes for few days now. The earrings are really light weight even thought they are quite long.

I decided to make these cool earrings available for you guys. They are 15 € + shipping a pair. You can buy them from Ateljeekatu, Etsy or contacting me directly.

Spine dress

Last night I started making this amazing dress for me. 

It is made out of 2,8 meters of cotton jersey. So it actually takes that much of fabric to make this dress. I bought only 2 meters and I had to make a seam between the pleats. You can't see the seam but it would have been better to make it out of continuous piece of fabric. It took me 6 hours to finish this front section! It was pain to make the pleats because it was soooo boring and my neck and shoulders were killing me.

I really wanted to make this dress in dark grey and the store did have dark grey in the quality and quantity that I needed. I bought the last of this fabric and that's why I did not have enough. There was lighter version of almost same kind of jersey but it was 5 €/meter more expensive so this dress would have costed much more to make.

The dress does not fit the mannequin properly since it does not have arms or even proper shoulders it the dress seems to be a bit loose but it isn't really. At least on me.

I'm really pleased with the finished dress and can't wait to get to use this. And also I need take few pictures of me wearing this beauty.

 I was going to leave the back just blank but Mr. Grumpy said that I can't let be that boring since the front has so much going on. And he was right. So I made the back with this spine looking pleated thing.

Stuff that you can't see it the picture are small shoulder pads that I made. Also small zipper on the side. I know the fabric is jersey and does not really need a zipper but the front of the dress does not stretch because the pleats.

I'm really inspired to use this technique to make a another dress, a skirt and a jacket with the spike in the back. I'm in dire need of more fabric.
