I keep saying each Interview with the Vampire The Vampire Lestat teeshirt is "going to be my last for a while" but I keep being tempted by new designs! But this time, it really will be the last teeshirt for a while (mumbles something about sewing a replica designer blouse seen in the S3 teaser instead...) The designs on this shirt are from the set of The Vampire Lestat (IWTV season 3's new show name) that's filming right now - extras going to the in-universe gigs were wearing teeshirts with t...| FehrTrade
I've been planning this shirt for a few weeks, but it was serendipitous that I already had the perfect fabric in my stash - some leftover black bamboo jersey from Fabrics Galore. The 2.5m I bought ended up making my Paris Sucks Versatili-Tank, the Dead Inside tank for my friend AND this tee! So it was excellent value on top of being perfectly soft, and somewhere between a viscose and cotton jersey in terms of weight and drape. This time around, I printed off a Loose Fitting Top Block from “...| FehrTrade
Ok I didn’t lie when I said in the last post that those were my last vampire shirts for a while… because I already had the vinyl cut and weeded for these by that point, and these were always planned. I just needed to make the shirts for the vinyl to go onto!| blog.fehrtrade.com
Believe it or not, I didn’t actually set out to post this on the same day that shooting finally (finally!!) begins on season 3 of Interview with the Vampire, but it just turned out to be a ha…| FehrTrade
As I mentioned in my last post, I really needed a lot more sleeveless tops, as I only had one or two that still fit. I really loved the shape of the FibreMood Elza ever since I saw it in their magazine last spring, but I hadn't quite gotten around to sewing it. I'd traced in size L then, though, so I had to re-trace it again in XL now - not a huge deal since it's only four pattern pieces. I had 1m of Ivory Ribbed Jersey in my stash that I apparently bought from Textile Express for £5 this ti...| FehrTrade
Blood drip socks As you well know, my love of vampires is year-round, but it did work out nicely that this first pair of blood drip socks were ready just in time for Halloween! 🩸🧦&#…| FehrTrade
As promised, after sharing our usual daytime photos to document all the different ways it can be worn, the seamlines, and details, etc, I really want to take some photos of my recent Wolfkiller Cloak at nighttime, too. I mean, it’s a coat inspired by a vampire AND it’s nearly Halloween, so what better way to capture the vibes than to do a photoshoot in a local graveyard??| FehrTrade
Yes, this is both a big project AND yet another make inspired by “Interview with the Vampire”! Big enough that you’re going to get at least one In Progress post, in addition to th…| FehrTrade
It’s been years since I’ve had a reason to sew something for Halloween. I’m pretty sure the last time was when I made the badger and fox suits for J and myself, and that was 6 yea…| FehrTrade
