Super Awesome Stretchy Stripey Dress!!

So this dress is pretty awesome-ness here!!!

Made it the day before Memorial Day and it doesn't take too long to make! It's made of some really cool stretch cotton, so there's no difficulty in putting it on or taking it off.. My mom has already requested me to make her the same one, and there's no problem with that...

(Vest not included....)If anyone else wants to request this dress in the same or different colors (I'll try to look for some, or send me some fabric), you know what to do: Give me a ring-a-ding and let me measure you. I'll charge only $20, as a really good price, and it's simple and stretchy, yet affordable.

Enjoy!!

Stripey Assymetric Dress

I had put a lot of work and errors into making this and I thought it wouldn't take too long to make.... guess I was wrong. But all that work was worth it.

I enjoyed making this dress (and correcting and improvising ALL the mistakes haha), and it was a real stress-reliever. Of course, the week before I was searching the internet for some ideas and inspirations, and I also took a trip to the Galleria for more ideas (because I know all the dress and/or skirts I've seen were waaayy too expensive for me anyways -- THAT'S why I make my own clothing!!) and made mental sketches (and transferred them to paper =]). And I saw this very same fabric/idea of this dress at Hot Topic, so that was already on my list of ideas, just more of my little flair onto it =]

Anyhoo, I already had the skirt made long ago, but I cut it so that it can be assymetrical and added extra fabric, then the corset was the most troublesome, but I eventually got it together (at least got it to fit me -.-'). If I do say so myself, it did come out very awesomely smexiful. I love how it made me relax though, although it did take me a day and a half to finish... but hell, it was worth it!

(also made a matching bow ^^)-->

If you would like to request for me to make this dress in your size, you know what to do: Send me any fabric or money for it (because I'm out of stripey fabric due to the dress...) get about 3 yards at most if you can, and it doesn't have to be stripey; you can get whatever fabric you want; let me take your measurements, and I'll sell it for $50. And that's me just being very nice, because all the hard work, I can really go for $75... yeah. (ooooh, I just noticed I'm selling it for the same price as Hot Topic... and now I see why) So yes, I can take requests for assymetrical dresses or only assymetric skirts.

Meet Adalia!

Yes, I name my dearest objects...

<-- Anyhoo, Pixie, the purple Singer machine has passed away, due to it being too worn out. My mom has actually told me that Pixie wasn't the kind of machine I should be making my clothes and all other stuff on; she was more of a heming or crafting tool. Now, just last Thursday, I tried to buy another Pixie, but turns out I shouldn't get another Pixie, because I really need something more durable and somewhat professional to make my business successful. So I went to Wally World (Walmart) and saw the second cheapest sewing machine they had (Actually, it was the cheapest that they had for that time because the Pixies weren't at the Almeda Walmart anymore, so this one was the second cheapest to me..), and with the remaining money that I had, I spent it all on my dearest Adalia. Now she's a Brother machine, and I don her Adalia, because she's beautiful and full of everything I actually wanted and makes my sewing easier, just like the Madina Lake song "Adalia", when they describe her as a beautiful mysterious young woman with mysterious past and her losses are somewhat their gain, but she can make them feel better.. heheheh I'm sorry, I'm sounding like such a sap.

I'm in love with her too, just like the singer of Madina Lake sings about. I made a coolio dress and 2 epic fail projects, but I'm correcting them so ha! But yeah, I'm so happy with my dear sweet Adalia. ♥

Totebags for sale!!

Soooooooo, since I've missed you guys, I've gotten some new ideas.


Well, as you all been wondering, I've been on another study hiatus for Glam Rock, and around that time I was getting my studies, my family issues, and the rest of my life together. But I still had to sew..... Anyhoo, ever since I've made myself useful at my grandma's, my younger cousins have given me their old clothes and have watched me sew. SOOOOOO I've already gotten requests for totebags, and I've been experimenting with their clothes.


So I can make totebags and sell them for $10-15 a pop.

Celebrating You Program

It's been a while since I've been on here and I'm sorry sweeties (you know how it is, it's final exams time!!).

Well, anyhoo, I have great news. HCC is having the Celebrating You program, hosted by my former entrepreneurship teacher, Lisa Williams Stillwell.

--Well, here's some background story-- I took her class in high school for 11th and 12th grade, and when I started Glam Rock, I actually though about the principles that she taught (that made her cry hearing that from me hehehe). So anyhoo, I never thought that I'd actually have any ideas for selling and being a young entrepreneur, as she taught us, so 12th grade, I took her again for marketing/co-op, and she helped me find a job and started going from there. I got fired from it then she helped me work in my school's cafeteria, and all-in-all, she's helped me through alot. So after graduating, I've been putting her name as a reference to still help me get a job, and one of my loyal friends from my high school, Ariel Brownlee, is now in the 11th and taking her class. Since Mrs. Williams knew how creative I was with my drawing, she knew I was in college taking up art. Ariel had told me that she was taking her class, and I suggested that she show Mrs. Williams this blogspot. And little did I know that she actually did it!

Then 2 weeks ago, I get a call from my mom at 10,11-something at night telling me to call Mrs. Williams because she had some job for me to do. Mrs. Williams asked if I can help her set up for a Day or Refreshing program she was hosting on the next day and if I wanted to sell some of my stuff. I accepted. Of course it was very late notice, but it was a grand opportunity for me to make some cash over the weekend. The program was fun and being a vendor was great, especially with the nice ladies and talking and getting to know them. It was a real confidence-booster for me. Then, Mrs. Williams asked if I wanted to speak in the upcoming program that she usually has every year. When I was in high school, I attended the "Celebrating the Queen in You" program for 2 years in a row, and they were very inspirational. So this year, instead of being held at the school, it's going to be held in my current school, HCC!!!--

So, I have the chance to give a speech about Glam Rock, and about my goals, life during and after high school, and everything in between. I'll be lucky to see some of the *cough cough* Sterling graduating seniors and students there and be able to pass on the wisdom to them and the ladies at the Day of Refreshing program, and be able to represent HCC really well. I'm pretty stoked about it!!

The program is going to be this Saturday at 9:30 in Room 100 in the Learning Hub, 1300 Holman St. Come by and learn something new, get inspired, get some free food, and show me and Glam Rock Glory Days some support! ^^
