Vampire and Soft, Both are pure lovelyness

I tried for the first time to alter a pair of jeans. They got a bit of paint on them so I thought I could refresh them, But I think they became a bit too skinny

welcome to tFS...

thanks tine...
well ...you did a good job on the jeans...
but they do remind me a bit of the guess jns i wore in the 80's...
they would be good tucked into boots though!!...

Haha yes pehaps I can wear boots then. My skins are quite large (hmm that sounded wrong, it's called skin, right?)

 

[Curious]

My pleasure, coinoperatedboy Thanks for posting the dress. It looks great! Your sis should be very pleased

Tine - Congrats on your first jean alteration! You're one step ahead of me Did you find sewing the denim difficult? Also, not sure what you mean by 'skins', so I'm not sure if it's the right word or not

do you mean shins?...or calves?...
lower part of your leg...?

[Tinetush]

Soft, yes that's it

Curious, thanks, no it wasn't difficult at all, It just took me some time to find out how much i had to alter them

 

[Elegance.Is.Refusal.]

so i got inspired and ended up cutting up yet another pair of jeans luckly they were my boyfriends

its kind of my inpression of the pencil skirt

 

[.francesca]

jeez you guys are amazing! i want you all to be making clothes for me

boots, that skirt looks great! i want one! and tine, the jeans look amazing on you..they will work well with the "skinny jeans" trend...they look great!

 

[Tinetush]

I just made a few pompoms with eyes, just don't know what to do with them yet
inspired by moschino cheap&chic f/w 05

Nice Urd! The jacket is sweet, too. Excellent job...

Tine - how fun

urd - nice drawing. i like your artistic abilities

here's something i did yesterday morning.

so i bought the thrift shirt for like 6 bucks or so.. it was ginormous on me so i slimmed it down to be more skinny and fit me better, did some customization to it, a here it is...

ok...
i made this skirt...
it's not quite done yet...i need to add a ribbon...
but i was trying it on and chris took some pics...
*it was a 1950's silk twill dress that i took apart...
it was really full and had a crinoline which i removed...
i added muslin to give it volume and stability...
it wraps around-is gathered in the front and smooth in the back...
longer in front and shorter in back...
(i made a top out of the other half of the dress...)

*i don't know if this is really a customization so much as re-worked completely...
but since i technically didn't start from scratch...i put it here...

 

[Estella*]

it turned out beautiful, soft. a little touch of folklore but in a good van noten way

 

[helena]

wow well done softgrey...its really nice. It reminds me of your marni skirt a bit. where are you putting the ribbon? congrats. will it be warm enough to wear in winter?
