What a Drag......

Recently a friend of mine entered a drag race competition (not the kind with cars)

She is the only drag king competing in the competition against a flock of stunning queens.

We decided to have a bit of fun this week channelling some Adam Lambert, feathers and leather.

1953 Inspiration.....

I love the decade that was the 50's!
The shape, the cut, the colours, the hair, the shoes and of course the films.

Recently I scored a design gig on a short film set in the 1950's.

Here's what is inspiring me:

I can't wait!

Back to the sewing room.

It feels like it has been a while since I have sewn something completely from scratch and dependant on a commercial paper pattern.

 Recently I was asked by a dear friend to make a dress for her to take to Germany to wear at her sister in laws wedding and I liked the idea of making something beautiful again. 

So far it is all cut out and this is the lining being sewn together with the sun shining through the window.

Today I found myself researching head dresses and I fell in love with these images!
