i need a fucking sewing machine!!
i have so many little projects forming in my brain at the moment, its hard to keep up with them. i want more dread falls - my black + white set are completed + i wore them out for the first time last weekend, i went pink with pleasure from the many compliments i received. some people at the 21st thought they were real until they touched them, i'm impressed. several people at black widow's asked where i got them from. i need to develop a better way to get the dreads onto a hair-tie though, it seems most people attach them to ribbon + tie the ribbon around their real hair. i'm waiting for my hair-ties to snap + all my dreads to come tumbling down!
but i want my black + red set the most, i need to find out if morgan ended up making some for me or if i should just start my own now. i'd rather do my own, now i know how, i can custom-make any dreads now, holly + rowan both have orders in with me, i just need a little more money to get started... as soon as i get off my arse + upload my most recent photos i will put a few images on here.
also have been sketching ideas for clothes + stealing designs from the internet. a lot of the stuff i like appears really simple, i'm going to start by op shopping for basic items + then mending them to include d-bolts, bondage clips, studs, corset ties, mesh, etc etc. it'll take some time before i'm able to make a pair of pants from scratch, though skirts are pretty easy. + maybe, just maybe, a few years down the track i might take a corsetry course + begin making + selling corsets...
*DROOLS*
but then again, that brings me back to my initial problem... i need a fucking sewing machine! does anyone know of somewhere i can get a decent second-hand machine from? ebay has been suggested to me but i've never bought anything over the internet + to be honest i don't really want to start now...
