SCRAPPY BIKINI

by

Y’all continue to sit patiently for some Burning Man photos. Just sit. Patiently.

In the meantime, here are two new pieces that I made last month. I wore them separately on the playa, but paired them into a swim suit for a trip to Laguna Beach last weekend.

Blake Gardner took this shots for me while my husband and our friend were scuba diving. scrappy bikini, made by Julianne I’m not sure why the waistband was all floppy right here. It stayed tight at Burning Man, and once I waded into the ocean it shrunk and didn’t stretch out again. That rhinestone button is actually Jason’s, but I thought he wouldn’t mind. So far there haven’t been any complaints. scrappy bikini, made by Julianne

I love how the diagonal stripes are radiating out from my waist. I designed the two pieces weeks apart, without consideration of each other, so that is a happy accident.

All the materials were scraps from my sewing cabinet, except for the lining on the shorts, which I bought to line my booty shorts. The patterns are my own, and I improvised the elaborations. scrappy bikini, made by Julianne At this point, I have this bikini, and top, leggings, and genie pants out of this same blue and green striped jersey. Am I missing anything?

OK, well, also check me out on Business Insider! Cause, you know, I’m a business-lady.

SPEAK NO EVIL

If you want to look this innocent, why not buy a mask? You’ll get away with ever so much mischief.

You guys, I sit in my alley against this wall and take pictures of myself wearing all these masks. Since I’m not wearing glasses during that time, I have no idea what the neighbors’ faces look like.

Check out these fabulous vintage patterns I won in Melissa’s giveaway on Scavenger Hunt. This was my first time winning a blog contest. Thank you so much Melissa!

These two are my particular favorites:

The dress will definitely have to wait until September, but that apron could be pretty rad around camp at Burning Man. I have so many projects in the works, for myself and clients, that I don’t think it will be happening. But I do have some outrageous yellow and green Hawaiian fabric… Silver bodysuit comes first though!

Most of my client work right now isn’t even Burning Man related, and half of it is covered by NDA and the other half is technically boring, as far as blog posts go. So heads up, don’t expect a ton of updates between now and September.
