here’s a quick sneak peak at the choices of ties and fabric for the next tie skirt!
necktie skirt
Monday, August 10th, 2009
i made myself a skirt and top (and a coat too) out of neckties a few years ago to wear to burningman. click on the picture to see more. i wore it for a couple of years out on the playa and even for a few hooping events. i’ve always dry cleaned it and been a-m-a-z-e-d by how clean it comes. hand washing scares me with these because they are vintage and who knows what will happen to the silk?? anyway, i sold *my* skirt at a recent sale (room to make me a new one!) and received really positive responses to them as a whole. 
i thought i’d make a bigger size for all you ladies that expressed interest! this one accomodates hips up to 38″ and is held in place by a plastic belt buckle and a few strategically placed hook and eyes (that can be moved for a custom fit) on the inside. i made the ruffle from a vintage slip and some soft brown netting that i hand gathered. i left the gathering thread in the ruffle because it looks cute! it’s a true one-of-a kind! you can buy it here. or you can email me to place a custom order.
“dust storm” playa hoodie scarf
Friday, August 7th, 2009
you asked for it! some of you who are fans of my hoodie scarves had expressed concern over taking your favorite hoodie to burningman this year. mostly out of fear of “playafying” it. well, here’s a great solution! this hoodie is made from super soft, reclaimed, playa colored fleece. i made the scarf ends longer than the other designs so that when that dreaded (or excitingly anticipated, depending on your perspective…) dust storm hits, you just wrap it over your nose and tie it tight in the back and viola! you can carry on with whatever mayhem you were up to. the one pictured has a beautiful turquoise, vibrant burgundy, and brown thread. i can not garauntee thread colors unless you place a special order which i would be more than happy to accomodate. click on the photo to see more on my flickr site. these hoodies are being sold for $34 and cost $4.50 to ship. let me know if you want one!
