Going Well!

So far, I'm killing it with my pattern making and samples. I thought there would be a little more trial and error, seeing as I haven't designed and sewn anything for awhile.

I'm still in need of a lot of supplies, but for now, pattern drafting is taking place on recycled Christmas wrapping paper.
Haha.

When I have enough sample styles done, and sort out what I like/don't like, I'll post pictures online. So far I have only gotten around to making bodycon dresses, faux leather bubble skirts, and lace trousers, but more will be in the works.

As for summer in Truckee, I've been working a lot and not able to enjoy it as much as I thought. I'm not even tan!
Haha.
I miss Europe and my friends as well.

Life, however, is still awesome and I'm really enjoying sewing again.

Las Vegas and New York to look forward to next month! Yeeee!!!!

Smashin' Fashion!

The good news and the bad news....

The BAD NEWS:
I don't think I will be able to afford to go to London+mainland Europe in the fall.
This means no Brick Lane vintage, no Top Shop, and no Zara.

The GOOD NEWS:
Since I can't bring the fashion back from Europe, I'm going to make it.

Yes, I have decided to bring it back to my roots, my passion, and start designing and making clothing again. I have a brand spankin' new sewing machine, an xl bolt of muslin, paper, pens, and some free time after my hours get cut in two weeks.

I'm really exciting to be sewing again! Producing, creating!! After the usual trial and error period of making patterns and such, I will put some of my creations on my blog...maybe also in Dressed [downtown Truckee boutique]?

What to expect;
Passion, colors, tricot, cotton spandex, nylon blends, organic cotton, stretch denim and more....inspired by my world travels and deep love for Euro fashion.

PUMPED.

5:11 AM Random thought.

Life is false camera angles.

I don't know what the nuts I was thinking about in my half asleep daze, but I made sure to write this down.
Interesting.

The Knob's Barfday.


Epic!
A torrential downpour started, minuscule rivulets turning into raging rivers, so I got off work early to finish Jeff's ice cream cake [from scratch, vegan, and was a success!).

For dinner we went for Japanese at the Drunken Monkey. Annie came a little later, soaked to the bone. It was lovely.

After dinner we headed to my house for some ice cream cake and air hockey, followed by going to T Club with Shark and Swickiepoo.

It was quite a night.
I still haven't showered.
Here are some candids from Sunday night.

And I'm off to the pool!
