Sometimes I think about the things I've made that aren't on this site

8/28/2012

So a lot of people don't know this, but there are about 50+ things floating around on this earth that were never able to make it on this site. Sometimes I sit and wonder what happened to them as some of them were commissions, and most were just clothing I made myself and decided to abandon.

I feel like a mother who put her child up for adoption and never heard of it's fate again. I feel I should hold an open casting call for the now owners of my past work. In general I just feel melancholy for never being able to properly claim my old work.

I also wish I could hash tag things. I think I'll do it anyway

Hello!

Here we are at London College of Fashion being silly in the computer lab! I'ts been a crazy few days getting adjusted to London, but the good news is I won't soon be so alone! One of our Moderators, Hayden, should have landed in London this morning so once I reunite with him this evening I'll make sure to upload info and pictures!

Hopefully my sewing machine will come in tonight and I'll be able to set up proper shop. After that, I'll finish up the lolita dress I have left over and begin working on Queen Esther. Of coure I forgot to pack my stabilizer...so...Esther may be moving slower than planned.

I wanted to address something quickly, always remmeber that we the moderators love you. I've recently been getting a lot of private notes of encouragement and thanks from all of you out there in the world and I just wanted you to know that I dearly appriciate it. We may go back on line for costumes in the near future before December 2nd.

AGAIN! Commissions are (techinically) open for any work to BE STARTED AFTER DECEMBER 10TH and we love you!

<3 Martha, the head designer/moderator.

IT would appear that we miscounted when we said we made 33 things this summer

We actually made 39. We just sat down and counted out some things that didn't get a chance to make in the site this summer and we're looking at 39 things.

That's 39 things in REALLY a span of only 3 months, (we're not counting May because May was just a silly month.) 

Martha is going to go and make this a polished 40 things that were

Literally all that's left is to put the closures on the bolero/skirt and like, make the pink sleeves. Maybe I'm forgetting something, but yeah that's all I have left. 

Is there a reward for a person who can get a huge costume like this done in like 5 days? Can I have that award now??

It's a 3:52 am that I have decided to just bull through the bows and chocker,
