Making collars - second try.
I officially qualify collars into category 'pain in the ass'.
Nothing else to say~
...but have I ever told you how painful mounting studs can be? REALLY painful. :<

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!
[the last picture showes how bracelet acts when your hand is down]
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 ^^
BUT WAIT! DID YOU SEE THAT?!
Itąs a TARDIS! ;D

ATTENTION ATTENTION. New things are coming!
I'm in half way to finish my friend's outfit I've mentioned in previous post. I didn't expect it to be such fun to make :)
The other glove. In each element of the costume I have to remember about the possible conditions - the heat, sun and rapid moves. The RPG will be in summer. That's why this one can barely be called a glove. Not much is left of it. :D At first it was supposed to be long, until elbow with case for a knife, but it would reduce moves. Not a very good idea for an armor of a warrior so I'll make it as two separated parts.
Next - kneeboard. Sorry for the loose ends, but I had to leave them so I can later adjust it to my friend's knee. I'm happy that's it's working and it's not hurting while bending leg. Looks pretty badass at life ;D
As you can see on the previous photo, I couldn't make it without spilled my own blood. Mounting studs is dangerous thing!
Aaaand... the lock I bought a few days ago in Łódź (my lovely family city) for a bag I'm going to make. I love how you can change it's character. It can be a steampunk lock or padlock-like. I'm so excited! I can't wait for finishing it already. :D
XOXO
