<br />
I've been posting a lot of my completed projects on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/midorimentality" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Randomly-Taylord/119210174840241" target="_blank">Facebook</a> page, so you can follow me on there and get updated on my projects and store items.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in my <span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://randomlytaylord.storenvy.com/" target="_blank">Store</a> </span>I have a lot of hats for sale on there (listed as preorders, they are made to order, so it takes up to a week after the payment confirmation to ship because of the times it takes for construction)<br />
<br />
Here are a few of the projects I've completed in the time between my blog posts:<br />

I just wanted to update you on some of the things I did this semester in school, it was a pretty intense 12 weeks, the last 5 especially. we ended up making 3 complete garments, that had to go together, and I have been posting 2 of them all around the internet. I don't want to bog this down too much with writing, but I have posted photos of both garments on the dress form and on myself, the shirt is a little tight on me, but I can rock it :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Each student had to design, draft, sew a muslin, adjust patterns and then resew in fashion fabric a skirt, shirt and pants, these are the shirt and pants.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
the only thing I don't like about the shirt is that on the good version I sewed the pleats backwards, I'm gonna have to fix that (I didn't actually realize they were backwards for weeks and not even when I handed them in.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thanks for reading.. In the next few weeks I will probably be posting the mod cloth rip off dress that I promised months ago, I just have to pick the right fabrics.</div>Randomly Taylor'dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07141799379774894196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685694333541241265.post-32078602435435191582012-01-18T09:42:00.000-08:002012-01-18T09:42:13.823-08:00Been BusyI know I said I was going to make a tutorial on how to recreate a modcloth dress and do a whole series on it. I'm taking a break on that because I am starting to get really busy with both moving and restarting school. I think the next time I get a break on school in late February, I'll create a post on some stuff i'm going to be making in the next few weeks. With 4 days a week of classes and the homework that i'm expecting to get, plus packing right now is really a strain on my life, adding to that a blog for now is too stressful. I'm sure there's not a lot of people reading my blog right now, but I'll at least try to keep posting whatever projects i'm working on on my facebook page until I get settled and the semester is over in April.Randomly Taylor'dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07141799379774894196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685694333541241265.post-44347138347138763372011-12-12T20:38:00.000-08:002011-12-12T20:38:38.590-08:00Blogging BreakI am really sucking at this whole blogging thing sometimes. I am currently busy with my job at Williams-Sonoma until about Christmas Eve, so I doubt that I will be able to work on my Mod Cloth Rip Off series until Christmas Day, when everything slows down. I've been getting orders for knitwear (my viking hats) and I have 2 new ones to make. I did 3 recently<br />

They are transferring ownership in the next couple weeks, and I may redo the cherries before then, because they stick out just a little too much.<br />
<br />
As for the Plum Rose dress I promised, I've got my fabric picked out, I've been reading the specs to make sure that the dress I make will have the same give as the ModCloth one does, but mine will be in blues, because that's what I have on hand.<br />
<br />
I do apologize for not posting as often as I'd like, but this does give whoever is or will follow the modcloth series, ample time to create the 4 blocks that I did, and tweak anything necessary.<br />

Back on track here, If I'm going to show you how to create some of the dresses, skirts and rompers that I find on mod cloth, and probably a few other websites, the we'll need to start off with the very basics. The next post will be the drafting of your personalized bodice block, I'll probably split them up into separate posts for the from, back, sleeve and skirt. The shorts will be a completely different post, but that will come when I find a romper that I have my heart set on.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The most important thing that you will need for drafting patterns and using commercial patterns is your measurements. if you're using a commercial pattern, then there are usually only 3 basic measurements that you use when picking out the pattern, your Bust, Waist and Hip measurements. Those are the numbers that correspond to the basic sizing on the back of commercial pattern sleeves. For the purpose of this post, I'm going to be giving you a list of 33 measurements that you will need in order to draft your own patterns. I would recommend you get a friend to help you measure yourself, because I can tell you from experience that doing al these measurements by yourself is extremely difficult and frustrating, especially when you get to measuring things on your back.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I purchased the book Little Green Dresses (Amazon links - <a href="http://www.amazon.ca/Little-Green-Dresses-Original-Repurposed/dp/1600851215/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1321684231&sr=8-1" target="_blank">Canada</a> - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Little-Green-Dresses-Original-Repurposed/dp/1600851215/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1321684327&sr=8-1" target="_blank">USA</a>) from Chapters about 2 months ago, it cost me about $27 in the store, you can get them cheaper online. I bought the book mostly for the 2nd chapter on pattern drafting, and being able to create my own pattern blocks.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
This was my prototype. it went to my boyfriend. unfortunately I only have the front of the hat. The back band only goes up halfway because I ran out of yarn at that point and the beard ended up being way too long. It was pretty good for a test run.<br />

I have the doll dress to finish by next week, I'm just going to make bloomers for sure and then maybe get a crinoline made as well. but I'm also in the process of making costumes for a college film called "More Than Just a Game" (at least I think that's what it's called..) I have all 6 costumes designed, now i'm just waiting on all the measurements so I can draft/buy patterns and fabric and figure out what the materials alone will cost.<br />
<br />
I'm also keeping track of the total cost for materials and labour in an computer document (I'm using pages because it's easier) and also my work order sheets, they tell me what needs to be made for each character so I can keep track of costume pieces and such.<br />
<br />
This is all I have done so far that I've saved, I have a notebook as well that I'm using for rough notes.<br />

It started out with a pink and green gradient fabric that we picked up at fabric land, it looked really cool. so I took that and we decided to do a pink to green fade from top to bottom, meaning that the top half is the pink and the bottom half is tiers of green<br />

(i used pink shank buttons with fabric circles gathered around it because it was cheaper than buying covered button kits, and I could make the buttons match the dress. the bottom has a scalloped hem,<br />

which was my first attempt at scallops, and I under estimated exactly how much rounded sewing, cutting and ironing there would be.<br />
I added some decorative stitching to the sleeves, which I tried to make a poofy as possible<br />

as per request by my lovely sister. (unfortunately you can't see the poofy-ness here)<br />
There was an obnoxious collar that was added as well, I practically freehanded the draft and cutting of that, I laid the front bodice on some pink fabric, traced the neckline, and freehanded the collar shape after that. I finished all the inner seams with my pinking shears. the bodice was made using the Simplicity 9001 pattern that I got ages ago, and the size we used was a child's 14, so I added a total of 5 inches to the entire pattern to accommodate my sister not being the size of a child.<br />

</tbody></table>There still has to be a petticoat and pantaloon made. the Pantaloons will have lace at the bottom and that I'm going to be making with the pattern 9769 by Simplicity from the Fashion Historian line. and the Petticoat i'm going to be making will be made from the tutorial <a href="http://sugardale.blogspot.com/2008/08/how-to-make-petticoat.html">here</a> by Sugardale (I also used this as a basis for the skirt half of the dress. When she comes to get this for Thanksgiving (in Early October) I'll ask her to take some pictures for the blog with her makeup and everything. The only thing we can't quite agree on is whether or not she wants to be a marionette (which would involve one more element to the pattern) I'm thinking lace fingerless gloves and some stockings that I can attach strings and a puppet handle.Randomly Taylor'dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07141799379774894196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685694333541241265.post-67987926981784036052011-09-01T18:11:00.000-07:002011-09-01T18:11:15.165-07:00Fashion Drawings How-To: Part 2 Colouring Skin Tones<div style="text-align: left;">Part 2 of the Fashion Drawing tutorials.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Don't worry, making the actual purse doesn't take that long, with the drafting (which isn't difficult) cutting and sewing (without taking all the photos and a dinner and cat break) then it should only take maybe 3 hours max. Before I start though, I wanted to point out that I made labels for my stuff. Right now they're pretty basic until I can get my friend Adam to help me with computerizing my actual design. Please bear with me though, as this is my first photo sewing tutorial. I've taught sewing classes in person, but photographically is a little different.<br />

You will need the following pattern pieces that you will need to draft, but don't worry they're pretty straight forward to create since they're all made of straight lines. All the measurements specified are for sewing with a 1/4" seam allowance that is included, if you're more comfortable sewing with a 1/2" or 5/8" seam allowance then make sure to add an extra 1/4" or 1/2" to each number specified.<br />

</tbody></table>You want to cut out each pattern piece. The main body piece (labeled front & back in the photo), and the purse side you want to cut 2 of each piece. the Purse bottom, cut one. These pieces are to be cut from your sturdy fabric. The Purse lining and inner pocket are cut on the fold. On the inner pocket piece the side labeled E is placed on the fold, with a mark on either side of the folded edge 5 inches apart to match up with Line E that you draw on one side of the lining. (the line is 13/4" from the top which I also forgot to write on the pattern) <br />

You will also want to cut out one extra ruffle piece on the fold and cut it down to 21.5 inches for the strap. I cut all of mine on the fold. originally I got lucky and snipped every 2 inches along the selvedge and tore them and got straight lines from the grain lines, I wouldn't recommend that, except to straighten the top edge of your fabric.<br />
Once you've cut your pieces from the fabric you can start sewing.<br />

I ended up making a ruffle purse. My inspiration came from a dress that I made for my friend Amanda last year. I had maybe a quarter yard of her dress fabric left over, a thin white cotton with a delicate off white swirl print (It's not prominent in the photos though) and I felt something with ruffles would be nice. I had Skye take some in progress photos for me just so I could possibly replicate it later or make a tutorial.<br />

I started my measurements with a 9 inch zipper, 6 inch height and went from there. The sides taper in at the top and it's fully lined with a purple polka dot fabric and has a small pocket on the inside. I've put it in my silkfair store (you can find the link <a href="http://randomlytaylord.silkfair.com/">here</a>) I didn't have enough fabric to make 4 layers of ruffles (I would have liked to) but I added a ribbon trim instead. There's a 21"inch strap and I tried my hardest to make the ruffles even. Here's the photos.<br />

I started this project earlier on in the week. I had drafted the pants pattern with a Master Pattern pants kit I got from my Nana in 11th grade. I hadn't really used it or read the instructions up until this week. I didn't quite understand how to connect the dots so I made a few things up as I went along.<br />

</tbody></table>I had this lovely fabric sitting in my boxes for the past year I believe and I was never quite sure what I was going to do with it. I picked it out of the remnants bin at Fabricland while on one of my adventures with Skye. The piece of fabric cost me about $1.50 and I think it was maybe a yard and a bit, but I didn't bother to measure before I started cutting it up to make the romper.<br />
<br />
The pattern I made originally had the waistline at the natural waist (just below my belly button) but I chose to lower it because I prefer pants that are around the high hip.<br />
<br />
Earlier in the week I had the pattern drafted, the front and back pieces cut out and sewn together and waiting for me to decide on what the top would look like. Unlike some of the other things I make, this one didn't really have a plan. I just wanted a romper, and knew it was going to be shorts. I had no plan for what I was going to do for the top, whether or not it would have straps, straight or sweetheart neckline or even if it would need a belt.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMYW92njitjIHwgfVuDwbdELCc49jp89ReGOcqtUsSDb4XwGHfZSpUp9JxwY7EwUet_r9t6c4mKCCqVlkemsr0Uso0qLUhi5lX-dxZDs-gxiZIB6zxoM7bwDeuO_fF0IBM8AmShSut0vM/s1600/IMG_0504.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMYW92njitjIHwgfVuDwbdELCc49jp89ReGOcqtUsSDb4XwGHfZSpUp9JxwY7EwUet_r9t6c4mKCCqVlkemsr0Uso0qLUhi5lX-dxZDs-gxiZIB6zxoM7bwDeuO_fF0IBM8AmShSut0vM/s320/IMG_0504.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>This is what I came up with. In the picture you can't really see how long the shorts are, but they are I think mid thigh. I added the belt to the romper (it's not attached) because I didn't like what the seam where the shorts were attached to the top looked like. I have no idea what the fabric type is, but the romper itself is pretty soft, the belt a little stiff, but does it's job. I wanted something to also cut the purple and black florals up a little. I'm thinking I want to add pockets to it, but maybe to the next romper I make, since I believe that I will be making more of these. I don't think I'll make all of them shirred, since my shirring isn't the straightest thing in the world (you can't tell just by looking at it though) I just made most of it up as I went along and it turned out well, in my opinion anyway. Not too sure when I'll wear it out, but I think it's casual enough just to hang out in.<br />

the way she likes it, no clasps to deal with, although I may make a new set of bottoms for it... Not completely feeling this pair to be honest.<br />

I'm planning on finding a dress form in the future with legs and a bum so I can fit stuff like this. I think I did pretty well for a first attempt at the lingerie pattern that I got a while back. the first time I raided my Nana's pattern and fabric stash.<br />
<br />

I only have page 3 of the pattern instructions, so half are missing, and it clearly wasn't a pattern meant to be made of spandex. I didn't have lingerie/pretty elastic, so I made it covered, I didn't use lace for the inner half of the bra, I used the same fabric, so that's also a factor. I am contemplating making boy shorts for the suit, but I'll have to make that myself, or maybe a swim skirt... hmm.. decisions, decisions... I've always wanted another swim skirt... I actually just noticed that one side of the top is the cheetah print and the other is the florals, interesting how different one piece of fabric can look with a few cuts and stitches. once I find the appropriate model, I will post better photos of the top. and possibly a new pair of bottoms.Randomly Taylor'dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07141799379774894196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685694333541241265.post-41662052184202675342011-07-02T16:21:00.000-07:002011-07-03T13:15:58.098-07:00Paper Star Bracelet TutorialSupplies needed<br />

<br />
For the past few years I haven't been able to sleep well at nights, I can't tell if it was the caffeine binge I went on in the second half of 2007, or if it's messed up sleep patterns from all-nighters pulled for projects in high school and "sleep"overs where we never really slept. I got into the habit of trying to do something productive at night until I was tired enough to pass out. I have done knitting in bed while watching movies on my laptop, writing a journal to try to help me fall asleep, and even sewing at all hours of the night. One of my first midnight project was a tutu that didn't really turn out all that well. I made it in the 10th grade out of some cheap fabric wrapping material that my mom had bought. It was purple and had easter eggs all over it.<br />

Needless to say, this project was a fail of epic proportions in my book, I wore it once, and then it went into the garbage.<br />
