I've been gone for a little while; I needed a little time to get settled into life... So what have I been up to lately?? ...
1. Classes
2. Work at the costume shop & doing independent alterations
3. Researching and preparing my resume/portfolio/life to start applying for internships
4. Planning my wedding
5. ETC!!! :) so on and so forth!
I figured I'd give you a glimpse into what I do at work, since this blog is based on fashion and I work as a seamstress.
The shop is so colorful! :) Pins!!!
(I turn into a little bit of a pinning-freak when it comes to heavy gathers.)
Skirt and apron I worked on a little while back:
There's a funny story behind this red fabric... The two girls I work with and I were all sewing things out of this particular fabric for a few days straight. At the end of those few days, we noticed that at least 2 of the sewing machines and the big pressing table had turned a light shade of pink. I also realized that my purple fingernail polish had turned pink over the course of those few days too! I've never seen a fabric bleed so easily. Hopefully the actors don't sweat too much on stage when the play opens this week -- they just might turn pink too! ;-) Break a leg, Fuenteovejuna cast!
I just happened to have my camera with me at work that day -- I'll try to document the costumes I make more often!!
Working on an alteration for a British woman who claimed her mother grew up in a castle (if you look closely, you can see the pink faded on the table underneath the big green skirt):
Most of the shoe stock:
Here's a fraction of the costume stock:
My Valentine's Day story this year:
My fiance and I live about 2,500 miles apart, so we couldn't be physically together for Valentine's day. My life was going a little crazy and I had almost forgotten that it was 14 February until I got to work. My boss lady pointed to the table telling me there was something waiting for me. Apparently, Eric had gotten in touch with my boss and they put this little arrangement together for me. Tulips, chocolate, dessert plates with our initials on them, and a little letter. <3 <3 <3
Okay, that's all for today! Goodbye!
