The Unfinished Projects – SL #2

This week I went through my god of close to finished/half finished projects that I needed to complete for a photshoot. Some of them only needed small fix ups but others needed total ripping apart and putting back together.  Pink top: I made this out of a pillowcase and was so happy with it! It…

Elizabethan Era (a lil insight in historical fashion)

So as someone who is interested in becoming a costume designer I research things I'm interested like crazy.
