And Sewing was Begun

I am going to attempt to blog my sewing more, but thought I would start with a small introduction to some of my past projects. I have created many other things than what is shown here. Today I am going to focus on what I have made for myself for Burning Man.

My first creation was the blue outfit, made for Burning Man 2005. I found shiny blue silver fabric and long blue fringe.

Recently I decided the pants weren’t working for me, so I remade them into a blue skirt. I call this blue outfit v1.5.

Of course, no Burning Man costume stash is complete with a neon fur outfit with furry leg warmers. In 2006 I decided on green fur.

In 2007 I decided to add to the fur collection with blue fur. And a fully lined pea coat.

More furry leg warmers, never can have enough of those.

 

And my most recent creation, still untouched by playa, the purple fur coat.

  This was made out of about 7 yards of purple fur and is fully lined in a purple satin type material. It is ostentatious and heavy as all hell, but super cozy and large enough to cuddle in with two friends.. It’s like a blanket coat hybrid.
