Justin Bieber Duck Tape – My brain is just exploding from the awesomeness. Who thought of this? Why? It’s so wonderfully random. It’s like surrealist art. I want some.
Guide me home shoes – Wow. You upload your desired GPS coordinates to your shoes, and then little lights on them direct you to that point. That is so neat. (Why does it seem like the universe wants me to learn to make shoes?)

Frocktober #13. You gotta love a dress where the collar sticks out past the shoulders. #vintage
The Full Scale Millennium Falcon Project – This is amazing. A fan (with help) is building a full-sized Millennium Falcon.

Colette Hazel
Frocktober #12 – this is @ColettePatterns Hazel I sewed last weekend! #ifeelpretty
Edited to add: And here’s my third finished dress! I actually managed the whole thing – from cutting to finished – in a single day. The pattern is Hazel by Colette. The fabric is some cotton that I picked up at Lincraft during their sale. (No matter how much I iron it, it looks wrinkly. I think it just wants to be wrinkly.) I didn’t bother with a muslin; I just went for the size based on my bust. Unfortunately I think that was a bit too big, as I ended up having to go back and take in the bodice side seams a bit. Next time I’ll do a smaller size. I had been nervous about the diagonal bodice seams, but they turned out pretty easy. The zipper insertion was fairly painless too. Pretty cute, huh? The only negative is that the strap placement made it difficult to find a bra to wear with it. I ended up going with one with “clear” straps so they’re less visible. Still, I think I’ll definitely make another of these. I’ve got a border print calling to me…
