I bought the new FibreMood “Sports” special issue and there's quite a bit in it that I want to make, but I thought I'd start off with something simple that I don't have to buy special fabric for. “Denver” isn’t really a sports bra - there’s zero support there - not even a lining! - just one layer of lycra. It’s called “cropped top” in the magazine and I’d agree with that. I need an extremely basic sports bra for low impact stretching, walking, and e-biking, so my favourite...| FehrTrade
I'll be honest - I sewed this sweatshirt mostly as a vessel for a bit of heat transfer vinyl I cut out way too big back in the summer. I wasn't really thinking of the measurements on a shirt when I cut it out, and was more thinking to just make it as big as the vinyl roll, forgetting that my roll was nearly 24 inches wide instead of A4! So I ended up with a Lestat head (same as on this grey shirt), but absolutely huge - way too big to put on the front of a teeshirt. But I didn't want to throw...| FehrTrade
Even though I've shown you daylight details of the blouse, the pleather trousers, and the bondage necklace I made in tribute to the Lestatc looks seen in the teasers for the upcoming The Vampire Lestat show, I really wanted to do some fun, styled nighttime photos too! A friend and I did a night shoot when I sewed a full Wolfkiller cloak last fall, and it was so much fun! Plus I ended up loving the night photos even more than the day ones, and it made me wish I'd done a night shoot for the Cla...| FehrTrade
Around the same time as the press photo of Lestat in the rockstar trousers was released in July, another press photo also got my attention - but for the jewellery he's wearing rather than the clothing! It's a really unique necklace with elements of bondage wear in it, and it makes me really intrigued to see what other jewellery he'll be wearing in season 3.| FehrTrade
Following on from my Lestat lawyer blouse, you may have noticed the pleather trousers I wore with it… well these are another homage to Lestat in his rockstar phase in season 3 of Interview with the Vampire (now titled “The Vampire Lestat”, out next year).| blog.fehrtrade.com

You've already seen a peek of this fabric in the camisole I made from the leftovers, but let me now rewind a bit and tell you about how I came to print up the custom fabric in the first place!| FehrTrade
This feels a bit strange to post the leftover make before the intentional one, but I want to keep the other garment's post together with the rest of the outfit over the next week or two... so you get the "scrap" camisole first! I had less than a half metre of custom fabric leftover from the Lestat lawyer scene blouse I designed and printed up especially for it, so it seemed a waste to just let it marinade in my stash. I figured I could make a little camisole from it, even though there wasn't ...| FehrTrade
In the Saloon of our barge, we have two gorgeous ring stools. They're perfect for sitting, putting your feet up, and moving around to other rooms and we use them ALL the time!

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.| blog.fehrtrade.com
