Avant Gauche - Elegant gothic lolita The dress I made How to Make Your Own Bloomers! Would you like to make this site your homepage? It's fast and easy... Yes, Please make this my home page! Don't show this to me again. ~Bloomers~ Powered by counter.bloke.com This pattern is very generic. MAKE SURE YOU CUT ON THE GRAINLINE OR CUT ON THE FOLD!!! Step One Step Two Step Three Step Four The Shirt Skirt | Sew Like My Mom July 28, 2010 I’m so excited to post about this! When I met Dana, I fell in love with the skirt she was wearing. She made it herself (obviously) and she showed us how simply she’d shirred the waistband. The next day, during the mystery workshop at Whipstitch, we were encouraged to use thrifted tees. I’m devastatingly terrified of knits so I steered clear and made my (award winning) cotton fabric dress. I developed an idea in my head I thought just might be crazy enough to work. The Hubs thought I was a little crazy when I explained my idea to him. It’s the easiest thing in the world to do! The shirt skirt perfect for summertime. I wore the green and white one to Sofie’s birthday party. I had 2 women in Walmart stop me to tell me how comfy my skirt looked and when I told them how I made it, they demanded I call Rachael Ray immediately! The process is so easy. I do my shopping at Goodwill for 1 reason. So, get your super cheap thrifted shirt. Now, I break a rule of shirring. And that’s it!

Only a few pages are there so far, I'll do more on weekends when I'm home. (the link was hard to find before). About Gothic Lolita This page was created August 2002. My Gothic & Lolita Bibles and translating The Gothic & Lolita bible books (magazines?) First I was going to attempt to learn japaense using some free learn japanese websites and a book on it. Then I was going to then try to match up letters/words with ones in this cool magazine Mangajin which was published (1990-1997) to teach one to speak & read japanese using pop culture. I learned in my research that Romaji is what it is called when japanese is spelled with english words, or romanized. Then I decided, crap, this is not working. Also, once I learned that Romaji to English was what I needed, I searched that on google. Resources on the web Buy Gothic & Lolita Bibles here - at funjisan.com.

Design*Sponge » Blog Archive » diy project: matt’s woven leather stool I’ve been doing a fair amount of home cleaning lately, and I think when it’s all over, I’d like to reward myself with one of these beautiful woven leather stools. Matt, the immensely talented craftsman behind Wood and Faulk, created this versatile little stool with simple tools and a few raw materials. I love the luxurious, pale leather, and Matt recommends using Danish oil to help bring out the rich tones of the oak and leather, allowing the woven seat to change color over time. I can’t wait to see more incredible creations from Matt and am so excited to try this out for myself! — Kate CLICK HERE for the full how-to after the jump!
