I wasn’t happy with how skirts/petticoats sort of collapse inside my dress form [which i named 'my lady'], making em look unpoofy. I need poofiness. Decided to add an extra skeleton on the bottom of the body.

It took a lot of twisting and cutting of wires.

I also had to make it removable, in case I need to take pictures of tops only.

I don’t have any pictures to help you guys visualize what I’m talking about.. maybe next time. I am re-doing my petticoats.

Well that’s it for my project of the day.

I’ve been trying to self learn how to make patterns for a while.
It is the hardest thing to learn in this profession. Most people just buy the patterns.
No wonder, because it’s full of math. ; ;

After overcoming all obstacles I finally received 2 patterns, made by my aunt last night ♥
I was exhausted after all the equations, point A to B’s, standard measurements, and other data I wanted to absorb at her house. I fell asleep right after I got home.
I’m trying to remember the steps on how she made the patterns, and attempting to write notes and draw diagrams. I really want to learn. I just find the studying part challenging [ it's been 2 years since I last used my study-brain-cells ].
Closer to my goals. Extremely Happy.

I got myself an early Christmas gift. I don’t usually pamper myself with gifts but this is for the sake of my Hiddenshop’s future.

It’s a dress form. It comes with an iron stand but I won’t set it up yet until I’m about to use it (and I have to find a place where to place it first). This $ 37 present serves as my inspiration, reminding me to stay focused on the development of my online shop.

After my shift, we did a little photoshoot.

Here is the photoshoot crew… and I have no idea why I’m holding my ankles.

Neko nyawr?

The Mini Top Hats used are being sold at http://hiddenshop.multiply.com , my online shop at multiply.

I started hiddenshop last year, and it’s been inactive ever since I started my job. I’m working on creating new hats and other items to sell soon.

I think it took me 5-6 hours to finish editing these in photoshop. Hahaha I’m so slow!

I’m stuck. How can you balance work, play, and hiddenshop while fitting them all in one person?
