Making collars - second try.

I officially qualify collars into category 'pain in the ass'.





...but have I ever told you how painful mounting studs can be? REALLY painful. :<

Let's talk about t-shirts [X]

Finally a title!

A few people know that I started my adventure with designing clothes with simple t-shirts. I'm doing this for a 4 years now (JESUS! O.O).

Brace yourself. Long post is coming.
[I will start with the oldest; descriptions go for each picture starting from left]

---

I)   It's the second t-shirt I made (first is probably given away already. Why? only two words - MY MOM). It's not pretty, back isn't very well designed, but I have a bit sentiment for it. I have no idea why. It's probably the same reason I won't throw away my old teddy bears. I started cutting my clothes from t-shirts (oh, dear Kat von D's tutorial, I still remember you, word by word...), I was learning how to do it properly on them and, damn, they are somehow part of my portfolio!
This one stayes with me!

II)   The thing I like about t-shirts is how much you can say through them. Sometimes you can 'wink' to your friends, give them an inside joke - like this one...

III)   ... play with people minds...
[Actually, I came up with this project while I was fighting this annoying advertisement testing your brain with circles and squars etc. Apparently, you can find inspiration literally EVERYWHERE]




IV)  ... make people smile...
[when you're 1.80 tall and call yourself 'a hobbit']

V)   ... and, my favourite, show your interests. It's priceless when you see a person in subway, reading your t-shirt and then smiling. You smile back and suddenly feel bond with this stranger. Magical. Even if he or she later walk away.
I think I don't need to explain much under this t-shirt. Doctor who. 10th doctor played by amazing, one and only, David Tennant. <3

VI)   This one is a little experiment. As all t-shirts above and under this one are painted, this one is PRINTED. The only work I did here was designing the logo which you can find here.
If you still don't know what it is about, here's a little help.
There was only one person who knew what Holyhead Harpies were, only one in my school. As soon as th guy asked 'is it a quidditch team' I wanted to give him a suprise hug. It's really rare to meet people who read and actually PAY ATTENTION what they read. I wish I could meet more of them.

VII)   What time is it?
          ADVENTURE TIME!...



VIII)   ...Cartoon I'm obsessed with lately. It's so weird and inappropriate for kids that you start to wonder how is it possible that they let something like this play on cartoon network. Sometimes it really freaks me out...
            I just love it. <3
[the design of blue t-shirt isn't mine. I googled it ^^]

IX)  Not much to say here. I made the text without sample, cutting was wild and crazy... I just love this one. It's so... ME.

In the end, I wanted to thank my sweet model, Donna, who was my dear companion for a year now. :)

SO, sorry I wasn't posting for so long, but there were many places I needed to be and many things needed to be done. And many TV shows to be watched. Especially Adventure Time. I'm absolutely crazy about it. It's more like obsession. I already made two t-shirts with Finn and Jake. I think it's time to see the Doctor. [if you know what I mean]
ANYWAY. Have you seen trailer of this new disney animation? 'Brave', the one about red-haired girl from Scotland? Yes, we are going into that climates.

Lately, I was all the time like 'geez, maybe it's time to make something different, not a dress AGAIN' and I ended up with this project. I have only one thing to say - mama has never been so proud of any of her children so far. <3 But first things first - what does 'Brave' to do with this project. Obviously - the fabric. Believe it or not, but it was quite a problem to get it. All textils in tartan were made of cotton, WARM cotton. Absolutely not for summer. This one is also with cotton, but only in few procents. Mostly it's some synthetic stuff. In effect, it's really nice to wear, even if it's warm. Maybe what's not that obvious, it's not a dress. It has 15cm long legs, so I can sit in whatever way I want. Priceless.
And it has straps. Invisible because transparent. I can jump, dance without any chance that jumpsuit will fall.
All that girl - fighter needs.




And it's uber-cute! I can't wait for summer!
And I bet you can't either :)

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry but I'm in no condition of writing a post. Today only pictures.
I'm going back to sewing until passing out.

Only dress is made by me. On left and middle pic, you can see my grandma's bag. Right - new bag I'm crazy about.

Next time I'll have odea to use elements made of hauberk, I give you official permision to hit me in the head and call 'IDIOT'. Seriously, in my whole life I haven't done anything so troublesome. To people who make their own armors- my respect.
The whole thing is made by myself - even this tiny circles. TROUBLESOME. and painful. Because of modeling the wire into circles, my hands hurt badly and I can't really work with hard materials. AgrrrrrR!

WHOAVIANS! UNITE!
Yes, I'm deeply in love with Doctor Who, especially the Tenth. David Tennant is simply the best.
For a long time I've been wondering if I should try the galaxy pattern. It's not so simple to do it, but I guess it's just me - taking challenges recklessly. Here it is then - leggins in galaxy!
(and my old Doctor Who t-shirt)

P.S. I love my oversized 3d glasses ^^
