hsifeng: (*Arrrrrrrr!* Sewing Pyrate!)

I guarantee you got nothing on [livejournal.com profile] harmanhay .

First of all, she is the creator of Your Wardrobe Unlock’d and Foundations Reveled.**  

What? Never heard of them? You sew? Historical garb? Fascinating….

OK then, have you seen the Oak Leaf Dress? Three months of handsewing five hours a day. Just to get the leaves done.  

The. Leaves.

*gob-smacked*

If you were at Costume College in 2009 you may have seen it in person.



Original:

And honey…that was the warm up.

So what is this deranged woman up to now?

Just a little something ya’ll like to call the Peacock Dress.

For realsies.

What’s more? She’s doing it FOR CHARITY.

Those ‘feathers’? Hand beaded. All over. The whole dress.

And she is going to make a copy. In exacting detail. And let us all follow along.

*faints dead away*

Wanna see her go insane? Go forth and throw your sweaty dollar bills in her basket! That way you get to watch as the madness unfolds (the dress diary on this one is going to be set to private – so if you no donate, you no get to see).
