This one is taupe brown with silver and black beads and an angel pendant.
This one is a lively peacock blue, beautiful stretch sweater fabric, with crystal and silver pendant and beads.

Very striking, black,white, grey and navy fabrics, silver and black beads and two part silver pendant.

On my dress form is a lovely new blue dress for darling daughter! It is a halter style in royal blue, with sheer ruched overlay at the waist, and sheer diagonal overlay skirts on the slim skirt. The length will be a few inches above the knee, about where the second tier hits the right thigh.
Here are photos from the Halloween Parties that sweet daughter and her (the Count) husband attended. The spikes on the bracelet are fabric and soft but look pretty wicked!
At the club she ran into a fellow Street Fighter and posed for photos... cool
This one is at the final fitting, showing the footwear. Another successful Halloween!
puff sleeves, padded full, boots, wristbands with spikes, hair piece bun covers with ribbons, matching blue panties (for those high kicks!)
The sneaker boots are made by adding fabric spats that are laced up with the canvas shoes.
The dress has a white sash, and will have further gold stripes added, after we do the fitting and get the length exactly where we want it. There are high slits at the side seam and back seam. A zipper will finish the back neckline.
The wrist bands are leather with fabric spikes, painted silver. Aspen is the quality control expert. She approves.
this year, it's Chunli, from Street fighter....
These are the cute little bun holders with the big ribbons...
Above is the first sleeve, and below shows some poly-filling, puffing it up a bit.
Tomorrow I will be making the China inspired dress, (that requires these sleeves) and sash. There are white boot type runners too. The wrist bands have spikes, and I have already made those from fabric, and need to spray paint them silver and attach them to black leather wrist bands.
The last suit if from Vogue 2987 (Anne Klein), and features cool seaming on the jacket. The simple stand up collar and black buttons are classic. The pants are my favourite design with a wide fitted waistband, and I have switched the zipper from the front and put it in the back for a smooth flat front (in my opinion, more flattering).
I can't wait for my sister to try them all on. I still have lots of work to finish the pieces, but need her in person to do that. 
The jacket is finished except the hems, and the lining is not yet attached to the bottom. This allows access to all seams for a custom fit when I get there. (she lives in Winnipeg and I am flying in for fittings and giggles in less than two weeks!)
The fastener is yet to be determined, but I photographed it here with a metal embelishment that can hide a large hook and eye underneath - one option, another is a decorative frog clasp or more simple large button.... this will be determined in Winnipeg over a glass of merlot!
I love this pattern. I love the idea of a self belt tied in the front OR in the back. The handkerchief hem with the stripes add to the interest of the cut, when using this crinkle cotton knit as the fabric. I will probably do this one again in a more stable solid colour knit for winter.
Sweet little birdy, loves to pull fibre from my knitting! Just like a baby, everything goes into her mouth! Seems she likes mohair, the current yarn on my needles.
This is a cute new skirt. A wrap skirt pattern, fastened with button on the inside of the waistband, and decorative metal clips on the hip. The clips allow the wrap to stay closed, even when sitting. I find sometimes the wrap style skirt can gape when sitting. This is a good solution! The clips are sold in the button section of the fabric store.
and with a cargo style patch pocket cut on the opposite grain.
I also made a loose fitting tee shirt dress, from a two way stretch cotton, lycra navy-white pin stripe. The pattern is a really cool Vogue (1234) that has a seriously interesting construction that shows off the stripes in lots of different directions. The instructions are well thought out, and easy to follow, although this is NOT a beginner pattern!
I decided to make a matching belt that is just 2 inch strips, braided and sewn to a snap buckle. The fabric is so stretchy it fits perfectly. Very pleased with this dress!
I have a trip coming up, to visit my Dad in Nova Scotia. I found last time that I was missing an all weather jacket, something for the mist and drizzle that often bookends lovely sunny days. This is a McCalls trench coat pattern, and I used a water resistant fabric with a silky lining. I made the shortest length, perfect for in and out of cars. There are 12 buttons and button holes!
Ruth may recognise the top and skirts under the coat... yes they are almost done!
Here's me with the trendy cotton scarf... ready to travel!
