sewing project

in the works: a fringe jacket like the one kate moss did for topshop (which is selling for $300 on ebay), the very same one alison mosshart wore when i saw her perform at the treasure island music fest. though i bought 7 yards of black fringe at britex fabric, i'm left with a half-fringed jacket until i can restock. so far its coming along nicely...

alison mosshart on stage, and in the kills "tape song" video which includes a few clips of jack white :)i made a very basic blouse pattern from silk. i'm attaching the fringe to the sleeves as flat pieces and will close up the sleeves at the end. more photos to come i hope...

arts and crafts

i always pass by this green apartment building on my walk home. it gives off a glow that i've tried to capture a few times on camera, this is the best i could do. i'm really into leaves and shadows lately...

maybe organic things in general are catching my eye and influencing my arts and crafts.
more projects are in the works, as the weather gets chillier. one i finished:one that i'm stewing over: possible bag made from scrap fabric and old boots. the boots have served me well, and i would hate to throw them away. so they will be reincarnated as something just as nice. the fabric was a scrap form my textile class. it was a silkscreen practice swatch i believe...
