Accordion Skirt

Here's a project I've had a vision of for a while now. I wanted to make my mom a skirt for her birthday and use my silkscreen to create my own textile. As she is an accordionist, I chose the accordion as my inspiration! It is a wrap around skirt with snaps. I pleated the fabric and added a contrasting color at the bottom and as the waistband, and left a black surging line. I love the way it turned out!

Sketches.

Here are a few sketches I pulled out from notebooks from last semester. I'm always doodling in class! I have so many I want to cut them out to make a collage. 

Planning out my spring line in lectures.

Little Lemon Souffles.

After spending a glorious afternoon at the beach, Kristin and I embarked on a cooking project of making little lemon souffles. We were surprised when they actually turned out well- they are adorable and tasty! You can find the recipe here. We decided to take them out for a little photo shoot since they are so cute.

Etsy Shop is Up!

I've posted some items from my spring collection on my new esty shop! Check it out here.

Boxers!

I made my friend Skyler birthday boxers last year, and carried on the tradition this year too! Here he is looking cute in his new undies.

Fashion Show Spring 2012!

Last night was the FAST Fashion Show. It went great! I was really happy with the way my line turned out and I was so lucky to have my friends and family there to support me. It was so fun to get to share my work with people and I can't wait to start working on my line for next semester! Here are some backstage photos, but I'll post some professional photos later. I'm hoping to do a photo shoot soon and get some of my pieces up on Etsy. Most of my pieces are going to be for sale (but I will save a few for myself to wear too). More pictures to come soon!!

And so are the Daffodils.

Tomorrow is the big fashion show I have been sewing away for. I'm so excited to show what I have been working on! I really love the clothes I made this semester and can't wait to get them up on etsy!
