Daily Post Forty- Four: Skirt Finished!

I made a few improvements to the skirt I posted yesterday~ 
I'm tired again, so I'm just going to post some pictures and go.

The whole skirt: I added a heard applique and a pocket in the seam.

And a closeup of the applique and the ribbon I added to the bottom~

Daily Post Forty- Three: Back From Camp!

I got back from camp yesterday! 
I forgot how much I missed lolita over my time at camp. I try to stick to plain t-shirts and shorts at camp, which always feels weird to me at the beginning of the term at camp, but towards the end I start to get used to my "camp uniform". Time has really shown that I really do love loli a lot, and I'm just as in love with it as I was when I first discovered it. Wow, now I just sound like an annoying girlfriend.
Anyway, I decided to get right back up on the horse and get to some sewing today, using the fabric that my mom got for me in Philly while I was gone (10 yards of blue gingham o_0) So here is a picture of the skirt I made!

It's kind of plain, but I'm planning on adding to it soon~
Well, I'm really tired, so I'm going to end here.

Daily Post Forty-Two: Macarons!

I decided to try to make a loli staple, french macarons.
We (My friend Katie and I) Used a recipe from Family Fun magazine. Here's how they went~!

There is all of the materials for the cookies (not the filling).

Sifting the almond flour took FOREVER.

Then we whipped the eggs.

After adding the almond flour and powdered sugar, it looked like this.

Then we piped them into circles and set them to bake for 10 minutes. (Lol, you can see my feet's reflection)

"They aren't supposed to be fluffy, right?" "Whatever."

Finally, we piped in some filling (buttercream icing) and sandwiched them up.
Now, they don't look like traditional macarons, and they aren't that pretty, but they were so so delicious, and that definitely made up for that. They were so delicious that there aren't even any left now XD

Daily Post Forty: Mini Golf and Arcade Super Mini Meet

I was supposed to meet up with a couple of lolitas today, but they both couldn't make it, so it was just Manda and myself.
Nonetheless, it was a ton of fun, and here are some pictures: (and gasp! they have actual people's faces in them!)

We waited for a long time on this bench...

Then, upon realizing we were the only two, we went and played mini golf.
We only played about half of the course because it was super duper hot outside, so we went inside to get slushies and play arcade games.

Myself on the motorcycle game right before we played (I was really, really bad at it..)

We played the zombie shooting game about 3 times (which is a lot because it's a long game XD) and it was SO FUN zOMG.

Manda had enough tickets to get a plushie for her sister (who is the owner of "Otaku Fun Time") and I luffled that plushie so much.
Then we took outfit shots and went home.

My outfit rundown:
Headband: Made by me
Shirt: Forever 21
Overskirt: Wet Seal
Underskirt: Bodyline
Socks: Urban Outfitters
Shoes: Macy's

Daily Post Thirty-Nine: Test JSK finished!

Today, I invited a few friends over for a pre-otakon sewing party (even though I'm not going >_<) 
And I had time to finish up my test JSK! I like it a lot, even though it's not perfect. I think it will be perfect for guro lolita that I'm planning to do for Halloween (I'm sure that I'll post about that later!
Of course, Pics or it didn't happen:

Closeup of the bodice:

Sorry it's on the awkwardly-boobed dress form, I wasn't too happy with the pictures that I was in.
I'm fairly happy with this dress, but I know I can do better >_<

Daily Post Thirty-Eight: JSK Project Update~

I finished the mock-up of the skirt portion of my JSK today.
I made a light muslin version first, just to make sure the pattern's skirt was full enough to accommodate a petticoat.

(Front)

(Side)

Making this test skirt, I realize that I need to add about two or three inches to each pattern piece (which will result in an extra eight to twelve inches on the skirt). This will give the skirt the right size so that it will support enough pouf XD My next step is to make a mock-up of the bodice, so you might just see that tomorrow~
