Here is an update on my latest snow-dye adventure with Rit powder in Aubergine, Fuchsia, and Mauve. I didn't pay attention to my folds and had to improvise how I cut my tunic. The back is 9 inches longer and I love the flow.

Wearable of a different kind...
Greetings All,
For the last couple of weeks, I have been working on some wearables that were new to me and some that I said I would not do again. These weeks have been both enlightening and challenging. Enlightening because I learn something about the Zulu Walking Warriors Org. The challenges were reconstructing costumes which had been constructed with glue over tuxedo longtail jackets. I broke needles both machine and hand, but I stayed the course and finished. I made some lovely dresses that I didn't even take photos of because I just wanted it to be over.
At the end of June 2000 I swore off doing any custom sewing, but I got in a need and went for this one. However, I have learned that I have lost my touch and do not like doing this anymore and I got it. So I am back into retirement mode. Here are a few photos of the Walking Warriors tails.
