Granny Square Mini-Skirt - Crocheting isn't only for grannies!!!

I hope you had a great christmas time and a good start into the new year!
Now I am back from my parents where I was for christmas.
Who's interested can find some shots from my holidays here at my "private" blog ^^.

As it almost never stopped snowing the past four weeks I had a little snow-shooting (that's by the way the only reasonable thing - in my humble opinion - to do with snow! >_<).

This skirt is entirely crocheted. The lower skirt is made out of modified "granny squares". I really love this pattern! *_*
I wanted to create a skirt to wear in winter over tights which keeps me warm AND is still sexy because of the holes in the pattern.
I crocheted a matching hat, too!

  

The matching hat

Here you can see the pattern well AND my foxtail on the left. It's too bright for seeing it well with snow in the background >__<

Unfortunately all pictures are too bright because of the snow >_<
Thank you for taking these pictures and getting wet feet, Thomas! ♥

Zebra Skirt

I saw this fabric and I immediately wanted to sew this skirt out of it! And it absolutely looks like I imagined it! *HAPPY* ^_^

Ich habe diesen Stoff im Laden gesehen und sofort gewusst, dass ich diesen Rock nähen will! Und er sieht genauso aus, wie ich ihn mir in diesem Moment vorgestellt hatte! ^_^

For taking this pictures I made this curly hairdo. This is the first time I had curly hair, yeah! xD

Ich habe mir extra für die Fotos diese Frisur mit Locken gemacht. Das erste Mal, dass ich Locken hatte, yeah! xD Mir gefällt dies Frisur echt gut (und der Rock auch!) *_*;

I really like my hairdo (and the skirt!) *_*;

Leopard Nails

I did something creative besides sewing and crocheting - my nails :D It was the first time I tried this leopard style and for someone who isn't skillfully at doing this I am really satisfied with the outcome. I love things in tiger/leopard print <3

"Popteen"-Collection in the background :D

Fox Tail-Revival

With the fur fashion trend this fall also comes along this fox tail accessory:

Really cute, isn't it? (although it is really superfluous)

But didn't we saw this a long time ago? .... Yes!


Ayumi Hamasaki - Evolution PV (2001)

And I loved it even back then!
I understand why Ayumi is/was inspiring so many gyarus.. After watching this PV I made a fox tail for me, too! (and I wanted short hair, haha. But I dropped this idea.)

And now some pictures of me wearing my fox tail in 2005!

I always said "My fashionstyle isn't weird. I'm just way before you!"
And I was right :D

Crocheted vest is finally done!

My pc is working again!! :D

Now I can finally show you my crocheted vest! I didn't had a pattern for this (I totally suck at working with patterns...) so I was totally clueless and had to do this vest twice because at the end of the first try it didn't fit me at all >_<

But now I'm finished and totally happy with this! My first crocheted vest! I love  crocheting :D

And with a babydoll-shirt

Sweet 19 Blues ~ Shooting

Sorry, my pc was kind of broken so I couldn't update my blog in a while :/

Now I wanna show you some older works... this shooting is from 2008, I think. The cover of Namie Amuro's Single "Sweet 19 Blues" had inspired me to do this. Actually the dress turned out to be really short so I won't be able to wear this in public ^^; But I really like the pictures of this shooting!

 

Fairy Princess Dress

This is finally the last part of this shooting (and the last pictures with this hairstyle ^^).

The sleeves and the skirt are made of lining fabric. Usually you use this fabric as underskirt but I like it so much that I did a dress out of it :D
I'm going to sew much more things out of lining fabric. I love it, haha.

If I have a chance to wear this dress in public I will have to look for some new shoes... this one are really unwearable! It was difficult just standing in them! >_<

Backless Ribbon-Scarf Dress

I just wanted to sew a sexy backless dress. I didn't had a pattern or any kind of a plan.. I just did it on a whim. And it turned out okay, I think. I like those little chains on the back <3

I want to wear it on a warm summer night but I'm not too sure about this dress in public ^^;

And some outtakes, lol.
On these you can see the big ribbon on the frontside better (I'm looking lika a llama :D).

Blue dotted high-waist skirt

This high-waist skirt is made of a very stretchable jersey fabric with little white dots. It's the first time I bought a fabric with dots.. I'm not a big fan of polka-dots. But I decided to give it a try and it turned out really cute, I think =)

The pictures are from the same shooting date as the ones in the last entry (and I've got two outfits more :D), so the hairdo is the same ^^.

Checkered Dress with crocheted lace

I'm going to start with showing you some of my finished older projects. First look at this gray-black checkered lolita-like dress. I really love the lolita-style. To me it's very inspiring! Therefore I had to do my own design of a dress with many layers, quillings, laces (I did this one by my own! It took me ages! :D) and small white ribbons!

When I was a child I used to wear this white blouse on christmas and other holidays. I found it in my parents attic and thought it really would be suited for this dress (and it still fits me xD).

And now I really want to know your opinion! Please leave me a comment! <3
