Updates on costuming business!

So for the last 2 months or so, I've been creating and selling ghawazee-style coats at various events in Michigan and Ohio.

So far, it's been a success. So much of a success, in fact, that I plan on expanding the line into several other styles of ladies' coats and men's coats and vests.

Here are some of the styles currently available...

Here's what I hope to extend for the ladies....

And Monday's Sketchbook roughly detailed what I'd like to bring forth for the men. Next week's Sketchbook should have some new drafts as well.

I just ordered a whole bunch of Sari fabric, so I will have lots of new patterns to play with. This week I've been making a Queen Elsa for a friend's daughter; I'll have a separate post all about that.

Cheers!

Current projects: ghawazee coats and more

So, based on the reception of my blue ghawazee outfit at the last few events, I've decided to branch out into costume vending. I will be selling wares at the upcoming Springs and Sprockets event in Ypsilanti, MI on April 13th. I've been busy sewing away, creating stock ghawazee coats (and hopefully some high collared Victorian Steampunk coats as well). Here are some of the in-progress shots!

Silvery green with cream embroidery. Size M

Golden/tan with blue embroidery and sleeves. Size XS/child

Purple/green feathery pattern. I can't wait until the purple trim is on...it will really pop. Size XL

I have a bunch more cut out in many more sizes, including a gorgeous blue/gold, a very pretty silvery purple, a pink and maroon stripe, and a red and black taffeta. As they get done-ish, I'll keep posting photos!
