Excited and nervous!

About 13 hours to go until I have to be at the Spring Fashion show hosted at the Art Salon. I am nervous... but extremely excited! And thanks to a friend of mine I am nearly ready! Just have to put the collar and facing into a vest and do some last minute finishing stuff and then I'll be all ready. Of course, there is always MORE I could do, but no. I am not going to kill myself tonight. Hopefully just a couple more hours of work and I can snag some sleep. Woo! I will post some pictures tomorrow after the event.

Life moves at the speed of light

So I go from preparing and doing one event to mad-dash preparing for the next. I decided that Yes, I am going to partake in the fashion show! So now I need to make a few new designs within a few days. Yikes! I also met with a bunch of fabulous new people at the Style Expo this weekend, so I am working on correspondence. It has never been a strong suit of mine, but I need to get better at it!

I also handing out tons of business cards and flyers for custom corsets, so here is hoping that I get some return business from that!

I would love to write more, but I need to send a few more emails and then get to patterning! And I almost forgot! The Fashion show will be at:
The Art Salon located at:  2219 E. 21st Avenue, Denver, CO 80205  (21st Avenue at York Street, near City Park)

Finals done. Now for the Style Expo!

Finals are done, done, done! I got all A's for my finals grades. Yeah!

Tomorrow (today) is the Style Expo! I am excited~! I found out that I will be 2 booths down from Mondo (Project Runway), which is also super exciting. I am working on some accessory pieces for the event since I didn't have time to really flesh out any solid designs.

Final Project: Advanced Couture Sewing
AiC Winter 2011

On a crazy side note: I was introduced to a wonderful opportunity to showcase my designs in a small local runway show and sell my designs directly to consumers! I would LOVE to jump on this opportunity. However, the event is in about 8 days and I'd need to design, pattern, and make about 5-7 full outfits. This is pretty damned ambitious, especially since I also have school starting up again next week. But I am currently feeling like I would be more crazy not to take advantage of this amazing opportunity. I am going to sleep on it and make sure I am not absolutely nuts for wanting to do this, but I really want to take part in it. I am most likely going to do it and forego sleep for the next week. No pain, no gain, right?

And because I always want to give an image of my work: Here is the corset mentioned in the previous entry completed. However, I wish to take apart the bottom since the lining didn't fit perfectly and re sew it so it doesn't look so weird in the front.
