Blast from the Past

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Today I thought i'd reminisce on some past projects I created when I was 14- 16 years of age.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> First up is my favourite that I made when I was 16, at this stage of my life I was addicted to the TLC show 'Toddlers and Tiaras', so naturally I decided to make a glitz pageant dress. Some may think its a tacky concept with bad values placed behind a glitzy dress, but for one I loved every minute sewing over the top sequin trims and curly frills!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The next dress was inspired by Australia's beautiful Great Barrier Reef. At the tender age of 16 I wanted to use colour, and lots of it! This dress in particular probably took the longest time to make, but at the time I thought it was worth it. By now you can probably tell my fashion sense is very over the top and full of colour!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">when I was 14, there was a part of me that still secretly believed in faeries, so why not make a fairy dress for that off chance that they do exist! If barbie ever needed another fairy dress for her extensive wardrobe then this would be almost perfect for her!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Last but not least is my blue Cinderella like gown, that I wore once to a teen pageant and then a fashion design competition. I can still remember clearly quickly sewing on the sequins on both days of these events, minutes before I went on stage. Lets just say i'm probably not cut out for the hectic pageant lifestyle!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Anyways I hope you enjoy looking at my past sewing projects and got a little glimpse into my past.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

To create the richness and luxury feel of an Arabic rug in this fabric manipulation, I started off by dyeing an off white denim into a burnt orange colour. I then added eyelets throughout the surface. I then formed an abstract geometrical pattern on the fabric through threading the embroidery threads between multiple eyelets. To finish this manipulation off, an to add even more delicious textures on the fabric, I sewed metal seed beads in vertical lines, to generate a brassy affect.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kRiWah2YLPE/UfvlnQNPLtI/AAAAAAAAAcc/zhzHoj6l9EI/s1600/IMG_1890+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kRiWah2YLPE/UfvlnQNPLtI/AAAAAAAAAcc/zhzHoj6l9EI/s640/IMG_1890+copy.jpg" width="472" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">      </div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">The fabric on this texture was woven to replicate the Arabic cutout window panels used throughout the historical mosques and palaces.
