This Week

/ trappedintimedesigns / Leave a comment

I keep forgetting what day it is this week.

I also decided to reintroduce caffeine.

THAT’S the kind of week it’s been.

So far, I’ve:

Finished up an Alice order.

Image

Made a new Dieselpunk military capelet.

Image

Created a super ruffly red and white striped choker.

Image

Made a beautiful silk brocade capelet.

Image

And spent many, many hours putting together sketches, images, prices and a full proposal for a really cool job. (SPOILER:  I didn’t get it–but I did give myself a ton of new ideas for future offerings and a potential photo shoot)

Image

I feel like I should have more accomplished by today….maybe I need to give myself some slack?

TnT Tuesday

I love these crop tops.

I have a couple myself, and need to make a few more.

I’m a huge fan of layering, you see.

Image

A friend once laughed at me, when I lamented having had a hard time figuring out what to wear one day–this is back when I had an office job.

He said–“What do you mean?  All you do is:  tank top, t-shirt, cardigan, and GO!”.

Which hit it on the head.  That really nails down my clothing–tank top, top over that and cardigan, if the second top has short or no sleeves.

Image

Which is why these are a great wardrobe addition for me.  Tank top (possible two in contrasting colors) and crop top.  Done.  Comfortable, easy to wear, and goes with anything.

I have a few new fabrics to make some of these out of–wild prints!  PRINTS!  I never use wild prints, so I’m excited to get making them.  Once my stack of orders is diminished, that is.

I love this black and gold striped fabric.

Image

Sadly, I haven’t been able to find it for some time now.

Image

Made into a stunning bustier (which I loooooove).  I’ve made these for a few years now.  This is the last of the line, until I can magically acquire more fabric (fingers crossed).

Image

Lined in black twill.

Image

Flexible boning sewn into the lining.

Image

Grommets and a modesty panel in back.

Image

So pretty with formal as well as casual looks.

Image

bust: 29-32 inches
waist: 25-28 inches

TnT Tuesday

I’m rolling out the Trapped In Time Tuesday feature again, folks.  Since it’s officially carnival time in these parts, I figured what better way to start than with a Mardi Gras accessory.

Image

This is a tulle boa, made from strips of tulle that I cut and sewed individually to a sturdy center strip.

Image

It has layers and layers of tulle sewn on both sides and is pretty fabulous, if I do say so myself.

Image

You can find it in the etsy shop here:  https://www.etsy.com/listing/127893659/boa-mardi-gras-boa-mardi-gras?ref=shop_home_active_7

Over the Weekend

/ trappedintimedesigns / Leave a comment

Much photographing, editing and listing was done over the weekend.

Image

Probably my least favorite, but most essential, part of the job.Image

A lot of these items are available made to order, too.

Image

There’s still more to photograph and list.

Image

But they’ll have to wait until next weekend.

Image

Slowly working through the stack of ready-to-list items.

Image

They build up quickly!

Image

You can find any of these in the shop:  https://www.etsy.com/shop/TrappedInTimeDesigns

Happy Monday!
