BurdaStyle 118A Cowl Dress Review
Pattern: BurdaStyle 118A Cowl Dress. From the Modern Minimalist Collection.
After a recent closet purge of clothing I can no longer wear/haven't worn in over a year, I found my wardrobe surprisingly...bare. Which is great since it gives me an excuse to make moar cute clothes!
I used black cotton poplin fabric and a 22" invisible zipper that I purchased from Jo-Anns while they were on sale. I've also made a few minor alterations to the dress pattern - namely scooping the back a bit lower and folding/stitching the cowl part flat to imitate the blouse version from the same collection. I've also added slits to the side seams for ease of movement and to make said dress slightly daring. No errors/flaws were found in the pattern pieces.
The dress fit like a glove upon trying it on and felt absolutely comfortable throughout the entire day. My only complaint was the fabric itself, as it had the tendency to attract lint and pieces of thread like a mofo, but it's nothing that a lint roller can't handle.
I should note that if you purchase patterns from BurdaStyle, you MUST add the seam allowances yourself when re-tracing your size onto tracing paper, as they do not include them in the PDF printouts (unless they specify otherwise).

365 Challenge: Day 8
 |
| Ash Owl (Pencil, charcoal, Prismacolor marker and bit of Photoshop). |
You're probably thinking, "Ash owl?? That's just a stumpy great grey owl!" Well, if you wish to see it that way, then by all means. This piece was based off of an idle thought I had on the wildlife in Morrowind and figured, "hey, it'd be neat if they had an indigenous species of owl that's resilient to the ashy climates." Then BAM - ash owl. It's essentially a miniaturized, rounder version of said great grey owl (roughly the size of an American football).

365 Challenge: Day 7

| "This. Is. Bullshit." (Pencil, ink, bit of Photoshop) |
My OC, Bob Corgman shares my exact sentiments in regards to today's sub-zero temperatures. He would much rather be curled up in his wing chair next to the fireplace, in his study, sipping on a glass of 30 year-old scotch.

DIY Swimsuit Round-Up
It's already a few weeks into summer...not to mention it's the hottest month of the entire year. You're ready to hit the beach and wanna look your smexiest but can't find the perfect swimwear just about every store you've searched through. Or maybe you have found the perfect one but the price tag made your jaw drop...like in my case.
I was initially inspired to write this post when I was rummaging through my fabric stash and unearthed a bunch of perfectly good tricot fabric, in asphalt grey and sunny yellow (separate colors). I figured, "hey, these'll make really cute swimsuits!" which ultimately lead to my online quest for the perfect sewing patterns. Below is a round-up of several trendy styles you can make at home.
If you're not skilled with the sewing machine, you can always take any existing swimsuit and make it fabulous with dye, paint, fabric markers, and various embellishments. Below are a few tutorials to get you started:
Solid color dyeing tutorial (I recommend using Jacquard's iDye Poly)
Ombre dip-dyeing tutorial
Ruffles Tutorial
Fabric stamping tutorial

New Print!
 |
| "A Very Corgman Christmas" 8x10" Illustration Print |
Also, Junior is NOT amused.
This is a limited edition print available only during November and December. After that, it'll be gone 'til next holiday season, so snap it up while it lasts! I also have a 5x7" version available.
(The oval shaping on the print itself isn't actually cut off on the top and left - it's just some weird cropping on the listing pic).
Also, until November 22nd, take 10% off your entire order by using coupon code EARLYSHOPPER.

These cute flowery hairpins make lovely Mother's Day gifts and the sales will go toward a good cause. All proceeds (after Etsy and PayPal fees) will be donated to Red Cross - please pass on the link!

New treasury!
There's been a sudden cold snap along with an extra-flashy thunderstorm just a couple of days ago. So I whipped up a TeamHiP treasury to go with the theme of one's butt freezing off. Check it out!
