Introduction and project registration
Hello!
Long time lurker and after quite a bit of time off LJ, thought I should give this comm a try.
Nickname: Zeloco
Country: Latvia!
Found Lolita: 2005-ish? I don't know precisely, but I started wearing it only by 2008 or so?
Experience: self-taught, but been sewing more seriously for over 6 years.
Equipment: a brother sewing machine and display fit form. Hopefully some time soon - a serger, but not yet.
Specialties: high waisted skirts.
Improve: dress construction, time management, more challenging designs.
Style of choice: Rococo inspired, gothic. Usually classic/gothic mix.
Things I can help you with: breaking down seemingly elaborate designs to make them less intimidating, brainstorming designs, use of fabric.
REGISTRATION
Project Title: Triumph of the Immaculate jsk
Short Project Description: JeJ inspired jsk - simple black bodice with printed skirt.
I've been wanting a "painting" piece in my wardrobe and I also wish to add some to my shop designs. Plan is to add back shirring on the dress design. Square neckline with small black lace and black lace hem, maybe with front lacing like the MMM dress.
Later, I think, I might do a high waisted skirt version of this as well, but first things first.
Project Deadline: end of March
Patterns Used: Will use modified burda pattern.
Materials Needed: I have the black fabric and the lace. Will have to get the skirt fabric printed.
Challenges or Obstacles: time management and being mentally able to make a piece for myself rather than others. Remember to add pockets.
