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

I made some coveralls.

I am not sure what triggered this, maybe it was the sign that said Simplicity patterns, $1.99, or maybe it was wanting something to wear for an interesting halloween costume? I found this patterns for making your own coveralls. There was a qr code with a video to follow along for the sewing instructions. Awesome. I searched on youtube to see if the follow along instructions were posted there. Another awesome, they were. Looking over the patterns with all the little symbols was a bit intimidating. I looked at another video that had a breakdown of how to read a pattern which was really helpful. With this new found knowledge, I took a drive to to get some interesting fabric. At M and L fabrics, I got mad looks from all the older ladies gathering their quilting pieces. They were boxing me out of some of the rows with their carts. I found some interesting fabric. They have so much fabric on the racks that you may not find the same fabric again. The thing is I forgot how many yards I was going to need for the coveralls. I started cutting up the pieces and what a blunder, I didn't get enough fabric. A week or two later I went back and found a solid color of teal that is very close to the teal bits on the pattern. It was great to have a video follow along. Almost like a tutor to guide me in my work, so I must thank you Mr. Norris Danta Ford. I had a problem with the bottom part of the zipper that makes it stick out funny. I will have to revisit it and adjust it. The coveralls ended up being really huge in size. So they are roomy. I got a belt and a little pouch to help slim them down. The finish product reminds me of some coveralls a mechanic would wear in the 2nd Back to the Future movie. I could see them on some guy in the background while Marty is zipping around on the hoverboard avoiding on coming traffic.

9-29 time

Still working on some things. Hopefully i can get them completed before the end of the year. Here are some things that I have been working on. Episode number 19 of Bull Hurley's Tape Worm is up and ready to go. A link so you can listen to it here. I am slightly addicted to shopping at various bargain stores. I have had this affliction for easily 16 years at least. Now you know my shame, purchasing cheap goods and creating mad clutter. I have now at least turned my afflliction into a positive outcome. Here are a few things I have made using things i have purchased at dollar and bargain stores. I try not to purchase parts that are over two dollars. These houses I constructed out of foam core. I then covered them with contact paper and the roof is covered with lining for kitchen drawers. The only thing i did not get at a dollar or bargain store was the clear plastic to use for the windows. A female fashion head combined with a tank. I painted the tank bottom. I got these two form the dollar tree. thank you and have fun out there.

New Fun goods

Here are a few fun things. There is a new mix for the Bull Hurley's TapeWorm. Some things that I found interesting, on the Troop tape, on the second song of side A Gerald Levert worked on the song along with an engineer named Trent Reznor. That's kind of wild. Here is the link for the new Mix. Maybe you will enjoy it. I put together a new bicycle. The frame was a gift. It is pieced together from various found parts. It was originally going to be a fixed gear. I turned it into a seven speed, because I'm old and have no need for fixed gears. It's called the lizardo. it is fun to ride. thank you

Yodica trials

I bought some Yodica Sirio 400 Color Negative Film from B&H I wanted to see what it would look like. The Sirio film has a gradient to it. It goes Purple to a Yellow Orange with the middle transition of Green. The prints that I received were a little dark. The next time I use this film I will bracket up to let more light in. On a side note, Photography is kind of a costly hobby. thank you

The new project Boss Anjo

My sister gave me a neglected schwinn varsity bike that she rescued. I don't think it had been ridden in maybe 25 years. There is a bunch of rust and some dings that need to be cleaned up. I thought I would give it a go and try fixing it up. The rims are both pretty straight so i'm going to keep those. I cleaned off the rust on the front wheel and I am working on the back wheel. I had some leftover metallic paint that i used to paint the front wheel. I think the color will look good against the yellow. My idea is to have all the chrome parts painted this auqua type metallic blue. I was trying to disassemble the sprocket from the back wheel and lost about three of the ball bearings. Now I have to get a specialised tool to remove the sprocket. Oh I tested the tubes. They are good so I am going to use them. The wheels were brittle and I thought I would replace them with some yellow ones. The yellow wheels were kind of pricey but I think they will look boss. Back to cleaning off rust. thank you and be safe out there.
