Customisations

[purechris]

I know the feeling....I'm trying to sort out what to keep, what to store, what to sell with all my fabrics. Of course it turns into, "oooh, I should make this today" but considering I start the new job on the 25th of this month I don't have much time to do anything....yes the 25th of this month

can't wait chris...
you're going to love living here...


(even if it does cost an arm and a leg)...
luckily, you can alter all your own clothes to still fit......

 

[softgrey]

Love the necklace softgrey! I would never have imagined you wearing an outfit as colorful as the last one looks very nice

thanks...!...
i know what you mean...
it IS very colourful for me...
but somehow i'm ok with it...

thanks helena and francesca...
i missed your posts yesterday somehow...
i'm sure you recognize the red skirt helena..

** i think i'm falling out of love with the first wood bead necklace...
it basically goes with NOTHING in my closet...
and it's a little boring to me...
i think i have to do some major revising...

 

[Bonchic]

I have a idea for a cardigan and cami but I have to find the pieces first to customize.. I found the idea in a magazine soo pretty..

 

[purechris]

hopefully I'll be altering things smaller

 

[softgrey]

yes...and to accomodate that missing arm and leg...

...

 

[Bonchic]

hey you can alter my whole closet seriously.. recently I've lost around 10+ lbs and still losing so my clothes fit really bad. But I don't have the money right now to buy new ones so I'm going to sell my "big" clothes on ebay some day..

i've been working on handstitching a skirt which isn't finished yet, but in the meantime i've been doing more embroidery:

 

[utopia]

^ so clever and cute! I am so tempted to start embroidering things onto my clothes after seeing your adorable creations.

 

[.francesca]

^ you should do! i was thinking about doing screenprinting, but it lasts forever..if you ever get sick of the embroidery, you can always take it off and make something new.

i'm glad you're inspired! that's what i love so much about this forum..so much inspiration.

 

[mirrra]

^ love it! a big change with little embroidering.
it's an inspiring thread, seeing all your creations
softgrey i like so much the west in both inside/outside versions, and the shirt

i've distroyed with machine embroidery a pair of levi's recently, pics soon. former plain white sneakers:

another, drawn by my friend and me, some numbers bigger

 

[fireatwill]

cute shoes. and i adore the shirt. i need to start getting up on things. but, with school almost over i just give up on trying to make the time and am just waiting for summer to come, then i'll have enough time and nothing to have to accomodate.

<3 me.

 

[fashionyork]

Mirra , I loved the shoes. Did you use a special black paint?
Francesca, your embroidery projects are so cute! it gives such a wow to a plain shirt

Soft..your vest is fabulous , but i think i like the inside better. I like 'raw' things better myself. plus its different, way more unique than the black side.
I forgot to comment before, but i love the skirt you're wearing in that pic you too to show your shirt

 

[fashionyork]

purechris... sorry to butt it in, but you're coming to live in NY? you live in England right?

 

[purechris]

Yes, moving to NYC....no, not England...Kentucky the funny thing is when I first moved here people thought I was British...I don't even have the slightest accent that would even lead them to think that....

Great shoes mirra!!!!

 

[fashionyork]

I dont know if was in this thread or the sewing thread that made me think you're a brit hehehe


NY is so great! I love this city so much, i never been that broke my entire life, but still.. haha . Hope you have good luck and enjoy living in here
kentucky... always reminds me of KFC. hummmmmm

 

[.francesca]

i call it dragonbird because when i zip up the hood all the way
it kind of looks like a weird dragon

i found a picture of me wearing the sweatshirt with the hood zipped and i wanted to show you!

see! weird dragon

 

[Elegance.Is.Refusal.]

^^^^ i can see it! hope you dont walk around like that walking into people!

 

[.francesca]
