Oooo - Look at what I made! Fuchsia-gray-charcoal explosion!
This is me and my foot trying to decide on borders….note how my socks match.
Trying to get a lil’ perspective on that sucker…
Now that I’m all out of Kona Cotton in Charcoal I think I’m officially stuck. Partner out of town = no car = no decent way to get to Fabric Depot. (3 hours on the bus is not decent.) Solution? I’m going to have them ship it to me. Hopefully I’ll be able to sash this beauty just the way I want to in a few days.
In the meantime I’m hoping to do a tutorial on how to make Lady Gaga shoulder pads. (oh YES I DID!) Well, I had to when I was making a muslin for a slightly more wearable version of this amazing Jeremy Scott dress:
Gaga wore it on Launch My Line a few months ago….

And featured it in her Paparazzi video….
(Hi http://www.gagadaily.com/fashion - I love you!)
The muslin itself is actually turning into a dress in its own right. (YES! That is what I call muslin success!) I made it out of some royal blue knit that I found at Scrap. I’m going to make a short sleeve mini dress out of it (no bolts). It looks cute over this 40s blouse that Carol gave me with this night necked, lacy v-shaped yoke to it and this hat I made.
Don’t worry, I’m still going to make a replica of the Jeremy Scott one that Gaga wore, complete with lightening bolt appliques and faux wet look leather. (I already bought all the goods so there’s no stopping me….) Mine is going to have somewhat smaller shoulder pads (still nuts, just not AS nuts) and I’m thinking of letting it hit just above the knee. Or maybe make it a mini? I have been loving minis lately.
Anyways, coming up: how to make Lady Gaga Shoulder Pads to fit any pattern!
