Current Sewing Projects

Project #1 is to make covers for some pillows I have for reading in bed comfortably. I found a really soft polyester grey velour at Joann Fabrics. It was a remnant, so I have just under a yard.

 Project #2 is another one of those Dress Express dresses in a light grey. They still had a few but none in my size (Medium) so I chose a Large and will just make the seam allowances larger to make it more of a medium fit. Also, I'm thinking about using a black knit for the neckline and armholes instead of the grey it comes with in the package. The first dress I made like this one was so cozy I had to grab another pre-cut kit to have a second comfy dress. 

Upcoming Projects: I will be pattern testing a lovely peplum top for a pattern company and also starting to design costumes for a show. More to come on both of these when I start working on them. 

 I will be posting the progress and final images for my current two projects when they're finished. As usual, some things may change so we'll see how things turn out.

Mood Board for Writing Characters

The Dire Circle - " The circle is dire, much like the outcomes of these stories. In this black zodiac themed anthology, you may come to dislike other people...maybe even yourself."   When I pitched an idea for "The Dire Circle" during 2021, I wasn't sure that it would even get picked. But, once it did and I was given a Black Zodiac to then develop my short story, I decided to do what I do for costuming a character - I made a mood board for my main character.  My Black Zodiac was the Serpent and my short story for the anthology is Twisted Tales, Dripping in Honey . My story centered around a very femme fatale main character with lots of buried secrets. I looked to old Hollywood glamour, dark reds, demon eyes, and other glints of seductress mixed with sweetness to create Melia . For me, coming up with a name was very difficult. After creating what should would look like, having an idea of her voice, her outfits, her drive, everything about her, I still needed the...

Fire Gloves - Witch's Special Effects in "The Kingdom of Dreams: A Tale of Oz"

Currently a work in progress , this is one image of the fire gloves for the Witch in "The Kingdom of Dreams: A Tale of Oz." Using conductive thread I was able to hand sew a controller, 9 LEDs, and a mini on/off button to each glove. The actress will be able to use the on/off switches on the thumbs on the gloves to control the lights. My husband, who is a software engineer, is programming the LEDs to create a fire effect in red. There will be a thin glove worn over these so that the LEDs and controller will be hidden. The LEDs are very bright and will be able to be seen through the second layer. Once the programming is in place I will share a video of the gloves in action. Stay tuned for more special effects!
