I’m going to the Cindergarden album release party tonight at the Hyaena gallery!

I’m going to be selling Cindergarden key pillows ::



And on Sunday there’s an Anti-Valentines Day event at HM157, a historical Victorian house in Lincoln Heights, Los Angeles ::

And maybe I’ll release a comp, who knows…

Sunday School at the Church of Fashion starts December 13th! There will be beginner to intermediate sewing classes every other Sunday taught by me :) First class is curly-toed X-mas stockings ::
We will make these super cute, Tim Burton-y stockings from scratch with mostly recycled materials. Students will be offered guidance in hand and machine sewing. Future classes will cover pattern making, knock-offs, and group projects!

I made a costume for Emily of My Velcroe, for the Halloween show at HM157. It was actually really miraculous - I made it in only 3 days, with all recycled fabrics, and only one fitting the night before the show! This was the first time I had made high-waisted shorts, and I’m quite pleased with the results ::

Emily dancing with her Bear
She wanted a 1920’s-esque bathing suit and a jacket with a detachable cape. The cape was already removed by the time I got my camera on the right setting :( I had the striped fabric left over from the Absinthe Faerie show I helped do costumes on. Emily found the fabric for her jacket at a thrift store, it’s a really intricate knit of a bubbly pastel jungle. The jacket is lined with pinstripe fabric that was going to be thrown away at my work. One person’s trash, sucka!

I think she had killed the Bear at this point in the show
Oh yeah, her shirt has a bow tie too! And tails in the back :) So cute!
