Sewing Storm: Leggings

Just good ole leggings!

Sewing Storm: Tire Track Leggings and Oversized Tank

More! More! More! More matching fits with long oversized Tank and matching leggings cuffs. I could work, dance, and sleep in this.

Sewing Storm: Champagne See-through Blouse

Summer is here, even under the fog. I'm busting out some monochromatic outfits. This blouse was made months ago. It came out of the dark and I created some simple pockets to enhance the square shape.

Sewing Storm: Fish-net Shorts

Fish-net is the new lace! I love the exaggerated holes, they leave no room for the imagination. I'm fantisizing about some bright leggings to wear underneath.

Sewing Storm: Baroque Shorts

So much gold, so little time. Another skirt I found with an amazing pattern and detailed border. I kept the skirt for a few weeks until the final design came to me. I'm obsessed with the texture and shape of athletic wear. Having couture clothes that I can sleep, exercise, as well as go to work in, makes for a great design.

Sewing Storm: Drop-crotch Pants from recycled skirt

These pants had the past life of a skirt. The ornate pearl buttons are reminiscent of dress suit. Having a high waistline makes me think of the Barbara Eden's hidden belly. You'll never see what mine looks like!

Sewing Storm: Gym Gear

Who doesn't love floral? If sports teams had better uniforms, I'd probably watch basketball, or kick a ball around. The moment I met this floral jersey fabric, my queer mind went over that rainbow and made a slam dunk. The blouse was modeled after football jerseys and the shorts designed from basketball shorts with a stretch waist. Don't I look like a baller?

Queering Mythologies

Queering Mythologies is of profound relevance to the current climate of violence against queers worldwide. This project proposes that we re-imagine our histories and therefore our futures so as to combat the material and spiritual effects of the marginalization of queer youth, sex workers, gender non-conformists, and transgender men and women. Queering Mythologies hopes to motivate all those who experience the timeless tale of sorrow & discrimination through creating a more fantastical, colorful, and diverse mythology for queers to draw their inspiration from and to create a community network of queer artist to inspire the next generation.
