Sewing Gage

Continuing with the geometric origami design I went about researching a headpiece, and settled on re-creating this one; It took me a while to find the correct shape, but I got there and started by making it from paper; Once I was happy with the shape I then made it out of black and white card and made the final piece;

Club kids was the next theme at Cybil's House and at first I didn't have a clue what to do. But after a bit of research online I decided to go with some kind of geometric origami design. I don't know if this fitted into the theme but thought it would be interesting to do. Some of these designs were pretty complex so I settled on creating one like this; I had to take the piece apart mentally and created a miniature version of the pattern pieces so that I could get the correct shape. I then scaled it up to my measurements.  Miniature pattern piece The fabric I used was a thick white canvas type material Ultimate Craft in Camden. The material was stiff so that it would stand up (hopefully). It was also easy to cut out and sew together. I used my overlocker which makes things a bit easier going through layers of heavy material. However, it was at this point the overlocker broke. See more about this story in this post .

The next theme for Cybil's House was teenage dirtbag. It wasn't one of my favorite themes, but I went with it, and looking for inspiration on the internet I thought about doing this; I was originally going to make it out of some of the faux leather I had left over. But that turned out to be a disaster, i'm not even going to post a picture here! So instead I went with a leather skirt that I already had and just add the zips. It's not my best work (or look) but it was kind of OK.
