I found a tutorial for you girls, these pants look almost identical but they are shorter. Would be very easy to just extend the pattern to make them full length though. Hope this helps Happy

I made my dress =) came out pretty well considering I cut the fabric out from a pattern I bought then just sewed it together however I felt like because I didn't understand the instructions, haha. It's like a prom dress though (halter-neck and goes out from the waist, about knee length) so I think I'm gonna shorten it so I can wear it out a little more easily. The pattern was a bastard though - I measured myself up and in bust I'm a size 16, in waist I'm a size 12 (and this is me big at the moment), and in hips I'm a 14. So I made it a size 14 and it fits alright around the bust and everywhere except it doesn't come in enough at the stomach, but I dunno what I'm gonna do because I can't really adjust the darts now. Might just make a nice belt to go with it. I think I'm going to put some studs and stuff on it and make it a rock-dress so I can wear it to the Rammstein gig!

At the moment I want to make some studded wristbands and a choker for Rammstein but buying strips of leather is a real pain, I can't find anywhere that does it, not even patent leather, so I may just have to settle and buy some =(

Could you get a cheap leather bag from a charity shop and hack it up to use?

I'd like to learn how to paint - possibly using acrylics. And make a duvet cover and pillows for our bedroom.

So, here it goes:

- Along with a lot more urban photography, I'd love to take up model photography. I have tons of sketches and ideas laying around for this particular field.
- Start making latex clothing and accessories.
- Baking more intricate things than plain old cupcakes. With a special focus on the aesthetic part of it all.
- Stencilling.

Hi Knittin' Kitten

Have you thought of making a short waisted clincher to take fullness away from the waist of your dress. You can make one out of any fabric with interfacing stiffener if needed.

I've got so many things on the go I've made a list. Will be posting when complete. May be a while though. Not going to say what they all are but there will be lace, leather and metal somewhere in them

Sheila...can't wait to see your creations, leather, lace and metal are my favourite materials too!

Godcomplex....I'm trying to make latex accessories too, with liquid latex, but nothing has turned out as good as i'd like. Do you know of any liquid latex tutorials?
