*Elvira*

Below are pictures of *Elvira*. Named by my girlfriend, *Elvira* is a dress I made for my her earlier this year. The pattern used is "Kyla", purchased from Burdastyle.com. I must say gomene to my friends on facebook cause I've had these pixies in my photo album for most of this year.

Enjoy anyway :).

The photo shoot took place in Oshiba Farms; a park / onsen / recreational venue in Minami-Minowa.

Renewable Clothing by Fernando Brizio

“By placing colored felt-tip pens in the pockets of the dress its appearance changes over time. Within an hour – to one and a half hours the colored ink bleeds into the fabric and creates a one-off design for each occasion. The owner can then clean the dress and color it in a different way for each time they wear it.”

A really simple and novel idea! The possibilities are only limited to the amount markers you have.

Chu-gakko no Matsuri

The JHS I teach at held a open day festival this past Friday and Saturday. Teachers and students had things on display for parents and other attendees to check out. I was asked to bring anything I've sewn. The school provided mannequins and a small cubby for me to set up:

Front and centre was my name surrounded by sketches I've been working on throughout the year:

I was a bad teacher and snuck out of the drama club's play to snap these:

This cape was made earlier this year but I never got around to snapping it until now.

Elvira made an appearance as well. Will do a full post on that soon.

The crowd started showing up so I took a snap:

Matte ne!
