So I was just gazing raptly at my new blog, here, thinking to myself how snazzy it looks, when it dawned on me: The red on red background is in the exact same pattern as some black on white fabric I bought! I'm hoping to make an under-bust vest out of the stuff to wear with my eventual black 25 yard skirt and my Skully1 and...well, I don't have an awesome bra yet. I need to find a basic bra that I can embellish. I'm thinking more of the tame beaded trim, tassel trim, and some more of the skully's eyeball beads, and silver beads...I used up all of the skully fabric on Skully1 and Skully2, so I figure I'll have to copy the shape in beads and hope people 'get it'.
Well, this just does it - I'm off to try to decipher the instructions for the under-bust vest. I bought two amazing pattern collections from Folkwear: Turkish Dancer and Tribal Style Belly Dancer. I've been putting it off because the fabric is so awesome that I'd hate to ruin it by making some mistake in my cutting.
Looking at the Tribal Style Belly Dancer Pattern, you might think that this is where I got my hipscarf idea from, but actually I started making them before I got the pattern. It was nice, though, to see my ideas confirmed in their pattern booklet!
