She knew she wanted something long sleeve, to the floor and made of black velvet. I whipped up a sketch, she approved and I got to work.

I found some really great drippy stretch black velvet up in the garment district that I thought once finished would give the dress a fabulous sultry feel... it did.

I added a long waist tie which added to the shape of the dress and complimented her figure so well. I'm so please with the outcome, Sveta looked and sounded so beautiful. She gave me a shout out midway through her performance after which I received many nice compliments from other fans.

A few coats of india ink to get a good base stain followed by a few coats of acrylic paint for better coverage and topped off with a couple coats of setting medium and viola.. my new black boots!

Haha.<br />
<br />
Anyway here's a shirt and matching bowtie I made for a childhood friend of mines wedding this past summer. The fabric was super inexpensive from from my neighborhood fabric store. I hand-stitched the contrasting blue and orange tuxedo ruffles which are made from china silk bias on the bus ride home.<br />
<br />

I used my self made basic shirt sloper as the base but made some major alterations. I draped a new two piece sleeve, moved the opening to the back, widened the neck and added a pintucked bib.<br />
<br />
I wore it right after completion before taking pictures on a night out on the town so please forgive the wrinkles.<br />

Sort OfLet it be known, I feel Princess Beatrice's choice of headwear to the Royal Wedding was brilliant. The piece itself is genius, she was quite stunning head to toe. This is my tribute to her and her fearless approach towards fashion.<br />
<br />
With just a day to go before my very best friend Brendan's birthday, I found myself without a look worthy of such an occasion. Princess Beatrice's hat was fresh on my mind, and as I am a sucker for a good head-piece, I decided to go for it. Being extremely busy at work I had my fabulous roommate Abby run out and gather supplies for my Royal Fascinator via text.<br />
<br />
Later that night when I arrived home I got right to work. The entire piece is carved from styrofoam and is covered in nude felt which is hand-stitched together.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw-x_02cgkoaZ44MySCDP42BAeR9wdm3cil1bb25e4lQu22j5euksmY7LJyTtTQy50r4AVEWmYBntySVlTItnhyUwHWULd6hyXOWJ8INhuXLnlW79Ho3MkfsqecZvhfujcIL_x9vLlpBk/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="320" width="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw-x_02cgkoaZ44MySCDP42BAeR9wdm3cil1bb25e4lQu22j5euksmY7LJyTtTQy50r4AVEWmYBntySVlTItnhyUwHWULd6hyXOWJ8INhuXLnlW79Ho3MkfsqecZvhfujcIL_x9vLlpBk/s320/photo.JPG" /></a></div><br />

Once the base was completed I added the bow and tacked down the ruffles for desired effect.<br />
<br />

The base again is hand-carved styrofoam from the original circle cutouts. Once the oval was mounted to the base I added an elastic and was ready to go.<br />
<br />

This one is extra special because I finally used the vintage fabric I bought while in Paris circa 2007. I've literally been carrying it around since then, I'm pleased I finally have something to show for it.<br />

This time around I raised the neckline, added a Peter Pan collar with a proper collar stand, and added cuffs to the sleeves. All seams are French and have been topstitched with a thicker thread. The green buttons are just something I had laying around from a menswear class I took at SCAD and if you look carefully you can see I again opted for the pink heart button at the collar.<br />

I used some blue and white stripe super-soft light weight cotton I had in my fabric trunk. I then finished it off with some buttons from my late Grandmother's collection she left to me, 6 antique mother of pearl buttons topped with a singular pink heart button. I also used the selvage fringe as decorative accent to the button placket and neckline for that little something extra.<br />

Last weekend (all 1 day) I got around to making a jacket/top I designed a few days prior on a whim before falling asleep. I used some denim I was given at work, the buttons (familiar anyone?) and grosgrain I had laying around at home. I draped the pattern on my form and got sewing. It's double breasted and fully lined in the self fabric.<br />
<br />
<br />
Perhaps the trickiest part was all the ribbon-work done prior to sewing the pieces together.<br />

I added a patch pocket, a double welt pocket and a back tie as well as fully lining it this time around. Not too bad of an outcome, I think I'll wear it tomorrow over one of my black deep v t-shirts. Just right for this pre-summer heat wave we're having here in NYC!<br />

More specifically the part about me making them matching bowties. Well on last night's episode "Beekmanpalooza Redux" Brent was sporting his at the Sharon Springs Harvest Festival looking extra dapper. They gave me a heads up the last time I saw them but to actually see my work on their show was an extra special moment. What made it even more meaningful was that it was worn by a man I have a huge amount of respect for. <br />

I liked what was going on with this sleeve drape so I went ahead and made a pattern.<br />
<br />

Today I cut the pattern out and got to sewing. <br />
<br />
The Outcome: A structured orange ostrich leather man-bolero. Why? Because I can! But in all seriousness I'm extremely pleased with the final garment. Not too bad for a a little time spent playing on the form.<br />

They had a few spots and scuff marks here and there but that didn't bug me because I knew I'd be painting them. And for $15, it was a win win situation. <br />

I picked out a few fabric quarters cohesive to our color scheme and was on my way. After a little measuring, pattern planning and a couple hours our sad little ottoman started its new life.<br />

More so then ever I have a fantasy of keeping a small flock of chickens on the roof of my building but alas I've come to the conclusion that it's just not rational. This did however lead to hours of research into what type of chickens I'd like to keep if given the chance. Many of you when you hear "chicken" may only picture the average brown or white bird but believe me the range in much wider is size, color, feather patterns and other variables.<br />
<br />
I've really fallen for the <a href="http://www.eFowl.com/Crested_Breeds_s/88.htm">Polish</a> variety which have fantastic bouffant hair-do's and come in a fabulous variety of colors and patterns.<br />
