""Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you."
~ Wayne Dyer"
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be?” - Marianne Williamson

Oh God there's 2 more books in the series Pattern Drafting by Dressmaking published by the Kamakura-Shobo Co. in Japan, and i'm beat. Ebay's Pattern making, Drafting,and Dressmaking guide (written by some person) gave me the heads up.
Girly Box huh, their lace kicks @ss, World of kawaii sells horrifically cute japnese cotton fabric. Little Apple Crafts has Japanese craft books. Kitties!
Pattern making always rocks the images. I mean seriously, they have patterns for tons of things!
DRESSMAKING Pattern Drafting: Volumes 1, 2 & 3... OK! Book Finder 4 you found Pattern Drafting Volume 1 at Amazon since going there and typing in the title didn't work. I got volume 2 at a STEAL! WOOT!
Abe Books didn't come through. boo ssss
Sew Mama Sew has a petticoat tutorial/explanation and tips! Thanks for the Heads up Les Petits Anglais unfourtunatly I was right about needing a gathering foot. =^_^= Nylon Chiffon Fabric at Muriel Leroy, but it's a helluva lot cheaper here, AFC Express. Way waay cheaper. and THEY have animal print. imagine ruffly zebra stripes under your skirt!
Fashions of the Gilded Age, Volume 2: Evening, Bridal, Sports, Outerwear, Accessories, and Dressmaking 1877-1882 would be great for ref pics... Volmue 1 ain't too shabby either!
Razor Blade cookie's Gothic Lolita Post is great. and Now I know what dosu loli means. me and Haley should dress as twins.
arizona, arizona
[info]dailyfoodie looks interesting
Anyway Amazon has Volume 1 of the book I got and this is just too cute i guess adults can't look cute in these after a certain size/age. huh. =o_0= \
Lastly, this computer REEKs. Seriously it actually smells BAD. I'm going somewhere else.

I had to add [info]wendylady2, I LOVE FASHION BLOGS!!!! And pictures of runway shows. [info]aiyatheydidnt looks like it could possibly be fun.
I have no idea what i looked like at Sarah and Cat's wedding, I didn't see a mirror the entire night. Can't wait to see some wedding pictures.=o_0=; I was still sewing the blouse together right until Haley came to pick me up. Caysha was the Librarian, Pam a.k.a. Sketchy was the RingMaster, and i was the Steampunk SkoolMarm. I loved the big gold sun hat Caysha lent me. XD My outfit needs a snazzy jacket, and some gears would me nice. I even bought brass craft buttons at $1Tree. Just need the Jacket. Oh and the corset was a loner so I need one of my own now that I think about it, Errf. See all the sewing to make Lil' Robert's pirate Shirt, My blouse and then the skirt has filled me with the need to sew again! YAY! I love sewing! So I'm making Haley a pirate shirt for Christmas! I just hope i can find the shade of green in my mind, since I'm pretty sure "a tad lighter than Newman Library's book baskets Green" isn't an Actual color name. And Making Pirate shirts is just fun and simple. =^_^= If I thought I could pull it off I'd finish off the black loli dress. But I'm not a whizz at ... wait, maybe I could B.S. a peticoat. Hmmm. I'll have to remember this for later. And I'd need stockings... I'll see what'll happen. now I'm thinking outfit. =(_(=
I've been hanging on Facebook too much... you can post more than like 140 characters, that's like a brief rundown of Oreo's antics of the day. BTW he got a horrible giant abcess on his left side and shoulder. The thing was a 5-6 inch long oozing nightmare. 1) I now know more about cat hide than ever before. It's literally different than human skin. 2)I got him treated for $118, which was better than the $150 they qouted, and 3)true love is letting some one with an oozing flesh wound cuddle next to you, despite the oozing. Anette bought him a collar when the Vet said i had to bore a hole in his old one, she's a sweet heart.
Time for a LOL CAT!!!

And here is a useful blog I may have all ready mentioned, WeekEnd Designer. I love patterns where you just add YOUR measurments and make. None of that having to adjust from some one elses set of pre-set sizes. I think I want to do the tier dress. XD
NekoCon Is this weekend. YAY!! And the DFC has it's own Camera now! YAY!!
lastly i think I have a snowball chance in hell of finding the Ermine Sylvanian family set. That doesn't men i can't get it, I just don't know how long it would take. They're a club member item. the Japanese Club. Tamaboutique might help. they seem global.

...Later That day,
MAKING CUSTOM CORSET PATTERNS is one of THE best set of directions I've seen. Then again I LOVE the Duct Tape method! XD (How to Make a Corset Using Household Items is a good read on the tape method too0Or another Favorite for the love to draft it and not cut up a T-shirt types, How to make a Corset - by a novice she reinvented the Wheel in a Good way! VERY good directions! BRAVO!
Custom Corset Pattern Generator for the flat fronted Ren Faire look. Great for pirates and the SCA! e How's How to Make a Corset Pattern looks like the Elizabethan pattern a lot.
How to Make an 18th Century Corset or, more accurately, a pair of stays
And if you don't want to try any of these methods and have $10-$30, this D.A. fashionista will draftone for you, Sidney Eileen
You're going to need some Serious Hardware to make everything come out right, which you can get from Corset making, Haberman Fabrics, Dragon Town Class Act Fabrics or Costume.org has some links too. God only knows which still work though. Corsets and Crinolines dictionary
..."naughty burlesque vixen" that would make an excellent picture title. thanks Corset novice!</small>
And I think Erin could have pulled the corset in another like 2-3 more inches and i would have been fine. BTW that's a GREAT post, the group has wealth of inspiration and information. Need to print it! Seriously big girls are squishy, and corsets tend to look smashingly dramatic on us! thanks for the heads up [info]corsetmakers. =^_^= Some final thoughts from Castleblood
and this 'cause I know Haley would like it. =^_^=
casa gordita has nothing to do with anything
most GOOD price shop's Doll House Puzzle kits are kind of awesomly facinating, or maybe I've just always wantd a japanese shrine and house. Beware of Engrish, not indecipherable, but still engrish'y. they have non Japanese houses too!

I think the crossover would work

  • Oct. 24th, 2009 at 6:04 PM

Well I ended up haveing to look up what a plot device was, BTW this wiki article is great, after reading what some one got from the the Terrible Crossover Fanfiction IDEA generator
This generator is a tad wonky folks. But it put out this:

Your challenge is to write crossover fanfiction combining Resident Evil and Harvest Moon. The story should use a parade as a plot device!

Which i think would work based on 1) mad cow disease, have you seen Black Sheep? it's the best zombie man eating sheep movie in the world!... uhm... er, actually i think it's the Only zombie man eating sheep movie in the world. and 2)both games are present time so no having to figure out how to combine things

well this one could work too;

-Your challenge is to write crossover fanfiction combining Totally Spies and King Arthur. The story should use as a plot device!

but i actually like the other 2 games ALOT.

-Your challenge is to write crossover fanfiction combining Home Improvement and 4chan. The story should use Christmas as a plot device!

the jepardy and rugrats plot device becoming Presiden't was pretty interesting too.

now these are just scary;
-Your challenge is to write crossover fanfiction combining Bill Nye the Science Guy and Silent Hill. The story should use an orgy as a plot device!
-Your challenge is to write crossover fanfiction combining Soul Calibur and X-Files. The story should use an orgy as a plot device!

So Bucket called me earlier this week and it turns out HE does need a pirate shirt! (he can actually wear a costume I'm guessing) OH NOES! and i haven't sewn my shirt and skirt yet! Crapsiclse! And I picked up the 12am-3am drunk rush shift! Holy frijoles Batman! I'm going to have sew like mad!! errf.
For the pirates out there!:
#5 SHIRT, but you have to go HERE and here's a different method if you actually want directions. Now let me print this so i can make Robert's shirt, which is actually more like this. I need a visual guid to smocking most are like this though... BINGO!! Found it!!
this looks complex, OH here's some Directions that don't need a machine and can be done by hand! But... I may skip the smocking. I don't wan't to mess it up if it looks nice.=>_<=; This is how you Flat Fell seams. it's like an involved version of French seams. Seam tutorials Oooh make your own Pavillion for the SCA folks.

The AÓ-DAÌ SCORE!!!!!!! Free Ao Dai sewing pattern! #5331 Asian dress on Modern Sewing Patterns, see the blog
Zombieland got an 89% on Rotten Tomatoes. That's good enough for me!
I think [info]penpals and [info]iwish are awesome looking groups. I used to have a pen pal in elementary school you know! She was in Scotland. We almost had the same last name. Heh.
I decided that I can put the Blue Chiuahau on my mini light desk and just sew on my bed. I'm assuming the bed will be stable enough for the sewing machine to not move all over the light desk I'll just have to remember to sweep for the long fabric... and check to make sure I'm right and don't have to hem the eyelet. XD
I picked up an 8am-4pm shift tomorrow.

Dread Pirate Roberts Franchise now in T shirt.
Lake Erie Pirates they're like that LARP SCA group from Katsu I bet. Peasant shirt which is awesome, but the more SCA Style
I'd see this if this were a movie
This year for holloween I'll be helping Lil' Robert transform into the Dread Pirat Robert while also trying to assemble a working and stylish steampunk-y type outfit. Good thing the Blue Chiuhahua is portable and i already know how to make like 95% of both outfits. =^_^= And I know how to make a speed tutu this year.
perfect just what i needed , what the sleeves thing is for the Dread Pirate Robert's is too good for a regular boring peasant shirt. his sleeves have SMOCKING! Smocking is embroidery across pleats. Dang $1 tree doesn't have pirate buttons anymore either. =\
Smocking in action, Fashion Era never fails for ideas Smocking looks complicated I may have to fake it with well placed elastic. =^_^=;
