The New Sewing outfits I made.

I have been on a sewing kick recently. A goal of mine is to try and produce one article of clothing per month. I completed two for Jan. It is a dress made out of paper. I had a simple dress pattern and I traced it onto some brown packing paper. I ran off at Kinkos some of the collage work that I have been making. I used modge podge and some washi tape to decorate the dress with the collage print outs. It was a bit tricky to sew it up, but hopefully it will hold together. I picked up these two patterns for 2 dollars a piece. The material I got at the swap meet for really cheap. It is like a cotton but not quite like a flannel feel. I made the poncho first. It has a flaw in the arm near the armpit on one side. This defect causes one of the sleeves to be shorter. I had a bit of the material left so I thought how about some pants. So I drew up the scrub pants pattern and made a matching out fit. The two pieces are kind of baggy. They fit a little bit bulky then I thought they would. When I lose some weight I can alterate them and trim them down so they fit a little bit more proper. This set up is loosely inspired by the adds for bondage pants I would see in those old issues of the japanese punk and noise magazine Doll Super Head Magazine.Thank you
