More summer boredom. (Pic heavy, per usual)

Animal print mini skirt.
I had a bunch of animal print scraps and I wanted to sew them together to make an entire skirt but.... I got too lazy and just did a panel. Haha. The rest is extra zebra print.

http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h160/Britdork/highwaistedpeaceskirt.jpg
High waisted peace skirt.
Or the "I-officially-love-shirring" skirt.
I always thought shirred tops&things were kind of tacky... but now I love it.
Its so simple and I LOVE the effect.
http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h160/Britdork/peacebow.jpg
Matching bow, of course.
http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h160/Britdork/shirredpeacetop.jpg
Peace top.
I made this top for my sister out of my leftover fabric from the skirt.
She loves it.

http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h160/Britdork/batmanskirt.jpg
Batman pleated skirt.
The fabric is pretty epic, its got the Batman and the Joker all over it, with a fence looking background with light batman symbols throughout it.
This skirt took me for.freakin.ever! haha. but I LOVE it!
It has a black with yellow polka dot waistband&a black zipper on the side.
http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h160/Britdork/tieee.jpg
I took the extra fabric and made a tie for my friend Austin :]!
I'm so freakin excited that I can make ties now and I will make tons. I love ties
http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h160/Britdork/tielegitt.jpg
Its got the little loopy thing and everything. Haha.

http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h160/Britdork/rosevest.jpg
I'm so proud of this vest.
Its filled with mistakes (its came out too small.... but I fixed that with corset lacing ;]!) and the button holes I used instead of grommets are kinda messed up, but I'm still filled with joy that I finished this.
http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h160/Britdork/rosevestdeets.jpg
I used plain red fabric, fake roses, and satin ribbon.
I made some roses out of ribbon&leftover fabric, and some fake ones.
I tried to get a picture to show the difference of the three.
My camera was having a hard time with all the red.
Haha.
For those of you who don't know about the "rose vest", heres a short lesson. :P!

Ryan Ross, ex-guitarist&lyricist for Panic! at the Disco (yep, they put the ! back), wore an amazing garment of red floral fabric and adorned in fake roses. He wore it quite a bit before it was stolen. (Well, thats what was said.)
I always loved the vest and aspired to recreate it.

http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h160/Britdork/sweaterrecon.jpg
Basically, I took this sweater my mom was gonna throw away and made a slouchy/oversized beanie, some legwarmers, and a camera case out of it.
http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h160/Britdork/sweaterrhat.jpg
The hat.
I call this my "Robert Pattinson beanie" hahaa.
It reminds me of his.

http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h160/Britdork/sweaterrlegwarmers.jpg
The legwarmers.
I took the sleeves and some extra tshirt material and appliqued some bones on 'em.
They're pretty messy but I think they're cute
http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h160/Britdork/sweaterrcamcaswe.jpg
Camera case.
I took the scraps from the sweater and made a mini sweater for my camera My phone is the ~model. Haha.

http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h160/Britdork/splattersweater.jpg
Paint splatter stripe sweater.
I also saved this from being thrown away by my mom.
I taped off stripes, splattered paint, waited for it to dry, peeled off the tape, and got this.
I love it.
http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h160/Britdork/ducttapepouch.jpg
I thought the tape looked rad too&didn't wanna waste it so I used it to make a pouch for my friends birthday gift. (Along with some black duct tape)
http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h160/Britdork/recon.jpg
Two tops->cowl necked top.
Once again, saved from the garbage.
I took a black knit top and a black-with-white-dots stretchy kinda polyester top to make this bad boy. I edged the sleeves of the dot top with the knit shirt sleeves and used the belly of the knit shirt to make the cowl.
I didn't think I'd like it but I actually love it.
http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h160/Britdork/reconcowlandsuch.jpg
The cowl is almost long enough to double as a hood.
Haha.

http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h160/Britdork/caprisunbows.jpg
Capri sun bows.
I love these, I used the front&the back of one pouch to make them.

http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h160/Britdork/jokercard.jpg
Joker card bow.
This one was kinda tough. I used elastic for the center and to attach it to the clip.

more pics in comment.


I've been a busy bee sewing&crafting because alas, I have no social life :P!
<3!

http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h160/Britdork/pompom.jpg
Pom pom bracelet!
I LOVE this. I didn't have elastic thin enough to go through a needle so I used regular sewing thread, doubled. We'll see how long it lasts.
http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h160/Britdork/pompomnecklace.jpg
Matching necklace. :D!

http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h160/Britdork/starburst.jpg
Starburst wrapper chain bracelet.
Freakin gosh.
It was incredibly hard to put a needle through these to make a hole for a jumpring.
If I make another one, I'll make it big enough to slide off&on.

http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h160/Britdork/kandyheadband.jpg
Black&white checkered kandy headband.
Took forever, but I love it.

http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h160/Britdork/randombeads.jpg
Random bead necklace.

The end!
For now.... :P!

Wow, everything is awesome!
my favorites are the tie and the card & caprisun bows. :p

Thank you :D!
No, ma'am.
I just took a tie of mine, sat it on the fabric, traced around it leaving extra space for seam allowance, cut twice, and sewed. Turning it inside out is annoying though :/! but! Its much easier then tie tutorials&patterns I've seen around.
<3!

Those are pretty ccol and colorful ! As for the holes for jumprings, I have bought a kit of punches (many sizes) at the dollar store to make jewelry. They are neat and easy and make your job a lot easier.

Good job !

[MaddyLongLegs]

Oh my god the ROSE VEST!!! I love it.

[Murasaki]

Wrong song I think you got there, the one they're releasing soon is called New Perspective and the clip released on their site was called Oh Glory.

But maybe I'm just being weird and the clip of the other song was released too, xD
