Day 63- New Projects. oh boy... P.S HELP!

So I probably should not be starting a new project when I haven't finished the last, let alone have much time for one (but it IS summer sooo.)
And btw.... this post took me 3 days to write out, which should tell you something!
:P

I'm doing a Pharoh-ic costume (I have no idea how to spell it.)
Lots of blues, reds, yellow/golds

I'm mostly doing this because I'm completely STUCK on my current one. I have the bra base, but am a little stuck on what to do for the design. I have started however

I know... shiny.

But I just recently finished the other side and am at an impasse. I need Ideas.... desperately

Day 60- Bellydance Costumes and Inspirations

I have once again picked up my bellydance bra and have started working on it again.
I have it all sewned up. I just have to get some heavy interfacing and line the straps.
THEN I go crazy with the decorating... I am well and truly excited for this and already have plans for the next one. But first I want to get the belt done.

oh yeah... pictures!
Enjoy

ugh! It's too much of a pain to resize and fit to this... so be satisfied my perfectionist mindset!

Day 4- Buying Fabrics and inspiration

Okay... So Let me recap Day 3 aka YESTERDAY!
So sorry I didn't post buy ah well...
...What did happen yesterday? I actually don't remember. It's Spring Break so the days kind of run together.
But today I just did some yoga and took a break from Bellydance practice. I can barely scrape my heels onto the floors in down dog and can now get into a successful (and safe) backbend.
YAY!
I also discovered a Hot Yoga class in my area, so I'm going to go with a friend... Mucho Excited for that.

ALSO before I forget, I bought some fabric today for my first BD costume! It's this really gorgeous woven fabric that's an ivory color with a VERY ligh gold fan type pattern on it.

I'm a newbie when it comes to sewing so my mom is going to be helping (I hope)... Some pics below, sorry for the bad quality!

I'm also getting some indigo and more henna to make some designs so I can start selling Harem pants and such. I'm taking pics EVERYWHERE (literally) so I can get inspiration!

Speaking of "inspire" I watched this fabulous video today for the first time and I love the sensuality of it and that it's not raunchy, unlike some of today's "bellydance" performances. ENJOY!
