Priscilla & Ray: Bound By Pain©

hi everyone      

This will be my first fiction book that will be available on kindle/Amazon soon after its complete.                                                                                                   I've always been a fan of fiction, fantasy and sci-fi literature, and writing is also another one of my many talents. I've been penning✏ short stories, poems, and songs for years, I believe its therapeutic. One great story can change the world🌎. So i hope you can read the short summary/blurb of my book   above                                           follow me on instagram @ladynemesis777   Twitter @MandyGibson777

Amantra's White Tulle Gloves: Vintage Fashion Photos

2/4/14

                             Amantra's White Tulle Gloves:  Vintage Fashion Photos

I'd been on break, with school work and what not, but all the while I've been making these white tulle gloves with black feather trim. I got the inspiration for this project from a 1988 Ebony Magazine, where Micheal Jackson dawns the front cover.

There's an  advertisment for ciggerettes and a black model wearing a pair of white, transparnet gloves possibly made of sheer fabric, nylon or mesh netting . All I have in stock is white tulle, left over from other projects I thought would best substitute the material mentioned above. Then I remembered a pictuee of  Bette Middler I found online last year that presuaded me  to add the feather trim, which I created from sratch. I made the feather trim using  100%  polyester designer white ribbon, double sided tape, balck feathers white thread, and E-6000 all purpse glue.
The inspiration for the photo-shoot is for self-promotion intentions for my online store

You know I love the 1950's Hollywood era, especially  for its glamor photography, high and classic fashion, movies and actresses. This one particular photo of Marilyn Monroe was just the right direction I wanted to take this project in for the picture taking part, and here's what I came up with

 

I will have similar lingerie arm length gloves available for $22 at my store soon!
Thanks for all your support, your the ones I do this for!!!

My Glam Sewing Machine Cover

12/26/13

An Amantra original:
I'm going to give my sewing machine Big Bertha a  beauty makeover with  a new slipcover!

 This is my first attempt at creating  one a while back. It's made of red satin fabric, it was improperly measured and the stitching is horrid!
What you have here is the pattern for my new slipcover, something I didn't have working on the first one.

 When  I began doing research a while back about applied arts, home decor, and learning how to sew, I came across  some information that talked about the importance of a sewing machine slip cover. It's used to protect your machine over time from dust and lent particles, and extend the longevity of it's function. I thought this would be a good, semi-simple project to tackle for practice. beginner's can surely achieve the same results by following the instructions on this blog post!

⦁    Super fabric glue
⦁    Dimensional sticker rhinestones
⦁    Black felt fabric
⦁    Light pink home decor fabric
⦁    Soft cotton flower printed fabric
⦁    Gold sequins
⦁    Slip cover patter
⦁    Muslin or white thin fabric (bed sheet)
 

I create my own patterns, and here my slip cover one, i use plain white old bed sheet as substitute for muslin fabric during the construction/ fitting part.

Sewing machine length = 11 inches

Sewing machine height = 14 inches
Make sure to iron the patterns before using the "INTENDED" fabric.
I cut out the patterns and assembled the parts for sewing, but embellish the fabric with rhinestones before sewing.

 * press as you go*
I hand sewed gold sequins to black felt fabric in shape of "A" and "C" to stand for Amantra's Couture and added matching ruffle trim to bottom

......And the finished product

stay tuned for more
