Photoshoots & new skirts

First off I want to share the photos I did for Starlight Magazine. On my photography blog, you can view both the Red Riding Hood shoot I did with Emilie, Stine and Tenna - and also a couple of Sleeping Beauty selfportraits.

Last Sunday, Tenna and I had wonderful day of sewing and watching Supernatural. Here's her entry on about that day. 

Here's what I wore:

I recently bought this skirt off mbok.jp. It's probably my favourite print that Meta has ever done.

While Tenna was busy sewing her dress and turning a cardigan into an awesome bolero, I was working on this chiffon skirt. Initially, I wanted a soft cream coloured chiffon fabric, but I found the colour in the fabric store to be too bright, then I saw this beautiful powder coloured chiffon with dot embroidery on a mannequin and fell in love.

I'm travelling to Wales in May and one of the photoshoots I'm go to do there is going to be inspired by nymphs. So I wanted some soft and flowy, but also, I really wanted to make something that I would be able to wear afterwards - preferably with lolita.

So I based my design on this skirt by Victorian Maiden:

I was probably only about half-way done with my skirt by the end of the day. The dotted chiffon was extremely tricky to work with and the serger seemed to really want to test my patience. I found the 'normal' chiffon that I used for the lining easier to work with. Anyway, but I finished the rest of the skirt this week and here is the result:

Tenna and I have another date with the sewing machine tomorrow, where I'm to going try my hand at making a dress. Should be interesting :)
