I just found some awesome Batman T-Shirts in a store and just had to buy some! I instantly had an idea for it...but not what I just made out of it...nuh uh. But since it's my Birthday on friday and we're going to party hard and wild (lol) I decided to make me a Batman Birthday dress...the cool thing is that over here in Germany it's currently Carneval so it's just perfect.
My friends will be dressing up as the Joker, the Riddler etc...very cool ^^
Oh yeah..I'll be making my friend the Riddler costume...can't wait to show you!!!
So remember this used to be a plain MEN's T-Shirt sizes LARGE..ugh...U.G.L.Y. And this is what I made out of it:
I actually wanted to wear it with my black satin underbust corset but I'm pretty sure the logo will partially disappear under the corset so I'll probably wear it either with the bow belt I got from Hamburg (as seen on the pic) or my black sequin belt...not sure yet. Oh yeah and I'm getting my hair dyed pink(Cerise) tomorrow so..YAAAAYYY can't wait. I don't really like going to the coiffeur. Glad when it's over ^^
Let me know what you think about the dress!

Finally found all pieces for my emroidery machine I've bought AGES ago with my sewing machine but never really used it...never had time r nerves to get through the instructions ^^ but now I decided to finally use this uber-expensive-monster!!! ^^

Of course first of all you need to find a good pattern you want to use or make one yourself.
As this cincher is for prettiness only, I chose a pattern I made a while ago with only a few panels.
The more panels you have, the more boning you'll use and the more sturdy it gets, in case you want to make one for waist reduction.
Step 1: Serge all sides
Step 2: Decorations
Step 3: sew all panels together
Step 4: add boning
Step 5: add bias binding to the edges and be proud of yourself
Step 6: add eyelets and lacing to the back (no pic ;) )
Step 7: reward yourself and ignore all the mess around you!
Mmmmm they smell sooooo good!!!
I put some dark chocolate and heart sprinkles on top...can't wait to munch all 12 of them hahahahahaa
Thank god I don't have to clean the kitchen!!! ^^
Pic above found on uglyhousephotos.com/
hahaha and thank god this isn't my kitchen!!!! DAAAAAAAAANG

So finally some time to make new items and I just found some panels for waist cinchers I cut out ages ago!!
So I thought it's time to finally sew those cinchers...one is already finished.
It's made from a hot pink / black striped denim (I LOVE STRIPES!!!) I edged it with black shiny pleather and added 2 handmade buckles....YES...HANDMADE...I made them from a sturdy pleather and the black shiny pleather and a black buckle.
I ordered 100 different buckles on ebay for only 10€ (=$15)!!!!
Oh yeah and I've also added 2 D-Rings to the sides!
So now I just have to add the eyelets and lacing and it's done!!! woooot!!!
Oh yea and I just have to show your this awesome wallet I just bought from Tally Weijl! It was on sale for only 4€!!! And I got a matching purse for only 10€!!!! AAAAHHH!!! LOVE IT!!!
