Just a Quick One

Got some sketching done finally!! trying to work on ideas for the fashion show in april 2012, trying to come up with a theme to go along with my song choice, and I think I have got it.  And I also like to keep things a surprise so you will have to stay tuned!! But it involves Nirvana, denim, and interesting color combinations... I am really excited, now I just need to get a few more models confirmed and I will be all set!! WATCH OUT!! :P

Update!!

Well summer has come and gone, and now its November!! I have been very busy! Moving, searching for a new job, planning stuff... still do not have a sewing room set up yet, but i have a space, so all i need is all my stuff to get to my new living area.  But I have been sewing a lot with my new job - as a seamstress at It's A Stitch! An alteration and design shop... specializing in dance and skate wear, current project of producing costumes for the ballet Figaro which comes out March 2012.

As for personal projects, they are mostly on hold for the moment, until set up is complete.  But i did get a Halloween costume made - Lolita inspired nurse...
The blouse I had made for my graduating line (see: April 2011), so i made a circle skirt with red ribbon trim, and an apron with a pocket, and red lace trim.  And my friend played the part of my crazy patient.


So, finally almost settled in a new house, scored the most fantastic job ever, and hopefully the last stage of moving this weekend, then i will get back to focusing on a new line for the Fredericton fashion show in April of 2012.

Stuff Added to Etsy

So I have a few things that I have added to my Etsy shop recently, my beaded crown necklaces being my featured items right now. As seen worn by a couple of my models in the fashion show. I am making many more colors, to match all Lolita outfit colors!

I am selling some beads from my personal collection. They are all in fantastic condition, and never been used; I see great things in their futures, some of these beads are quite unique.

I will be adding the Coffin Purse to the shop later today. It will be a custom order item, available in black outer, but you choose your lining print.

I will be starting to make some earrings - I am just waiting on supplies! I am quite excited for this project.

Lastly, I will soon be listing some of the items worn in the April 16th, Omnific Fashion Show! And I have some ideas for some puffy Lolita style skirts in really cute prints, that I will soon get on the way!

This is going to be one exciting summer!! So stayed tuned for lots new stuff from Asylum Couture!

Now on Etsy!

Please visit my Etsy account!! This is where I will be selling things until I get my website formatted and running. So stay tuned for sweet things to come!!

Fashion Show Success!!

I just want to say a big thank you to everyone who turned out to the fashion show Saturday night!! It really was an amazing experience, and it was great to see my hard work finally pay off. All of my models were absolutely fantastic!! And totally rocked their outfits!! I couldn't have asked for anything more from my very first fashion show experience :)

This is a great shot of some of my models during their second walk out.

Layered Tule Skirt

This is a cute skirt I made summer 2010. It contains black eyelet with a layer of black tule, layered over orange sateen with a layer of orange tule. The double fullness is gathered onto an elastic so it fits medium/large size.

I also made a longer version with no tule, but the eyelet has a lacy border, and the orange is trimmed with black ribbon.
