Sewing Gage

It's been a while since my last post. I've been super busy so hopefully i'll get round to doing a few more updates. In the meantime here's a few pics of the Barberella outfit and the silver trousers with  organza top.

I wasn't completely happy with how it looked, and felt it needed something extra. The PVC shoulders didn't stand out how I wanted them too, and it lacked something; So, I headed off to one of my favourite stores, Ultimate Craft in Camden to see what I could find to enhance it. I had already ordered some self adhesive stained glass lead tape to go around the tits, which I also used on the rest of the outfir. I found it to be quite  malleable and helped to shape the shoulders. I also managed to get some metal grill and some chains from Ultimate Craft which i cut into shape and added to the outfit with the lead tape. I'm much happier with it now.

It's time to test whether my technique of moulding tits works. Well I'm please to report that it did work as shown in the picture below where they have been attached to the bodice with rivets. I used the following mould made out of tin foil, placed a sheet of PVC on top of it, and watch it slowly melt as the temperature rose in the oven. I placed the prosthetic tit within the mould and then riveted the mould to the bodice and trimmed the excess PVC. It still needs a little work doing to it, but I'm happy with the result.   Oh, and I've also inserted a remote controlled colour changing LED within the tit so they glow!! 

The next Cybil's House theme is sci-fi. I've decided to attempt a Barberella inspired outfit. Using the following as inspiration;   I'm quite intrigued at using clear PVC as my main material. I managed to get hold of two thicknesses of PVC from Ultimate Craft in Camden. I don't want to give too much away here, but with the thicker PVC I created the shoulders which will be attached to the bodice; I also had to find a way to created a mould for the tits, so I experimented a bit, using tin foil as a mould and placing the PVC on top, placing it in the oven and keeping a very close eye on it, watch it slowly melt around it. Although I filled my flat with smoke and inhaled noxious fumes, the experiment worked :-) Not wanting to ruin my sewing machine I had to find a way of joining the PVC. The best way I found to do this was to place greaseproof paper over the seam and gently press down with a hot iron. The iron melt's the  two p...
