There is was sale on at Abakhan, 15% off. I used this opportunity to buy fabric that I could use to make items for my shop. I found some really nice lace fabrics which is perfect for my target market. I also found this soft cotton fabric that would be perfect for this waistcoat I designed.
I made this dress while I was off for Christmas. I was inspired by my current obsession with the Victorian era. I chose to make it from a satin fabric and printed cotton. To add that Steampunk touch it could be worn with pocket watch necklace and top hat.
I was commissioned to make a costume of the white rabbit from Alice in wonderland. I bought a shirt from a charity shop and attached gathered lace to the cuffs and used the remaining lace to make a bow to go round the collar. I then made a waistcoat using red velvet and accessorized it with rabbit ears and a pocket watch. It was a success because the customer really liked it.
