Urmmi's dress Complete and worn!

I've been sick :< so this post is late.
But here it is!!!

 The sleeves look simple..but took me a while xnx....

 I photographed it on my door, it might not look it here but the skirt is HUGE its a circle skirt, and looks like a tent.

 That's a detail of the bottom of the dress, I added this lace along the bottom ^ thats the white line seen in that pic cutting across the red~

 This is her!!!!!! My older sis Urmmi >.> I hope you dont mind I put your  photo up <3 Your pretty you can't blame me :P She held still for me :D!- trust me that means a lot. That yellow collar thing is from her graduation gown. That day was hot cold rainy dry alll in one.

 ....I wanted to take pics of her looking lovely in the dress, but .... she is a squirmy kid who makes faces in majority of photos taken of her.

Im glad she gave one nice pic of her in just the dress :P <3 I like this photo

More later once I stop coughing and clean my room --__--...
Thanks for stopping by!
Goodnight all :)

Urmmi's Grad Dress:Quickpic

My current project: Make a super dress for my older sis Urmmi to wear for her graduation (She's graduating college :') she's growing up- not literally though, because I'm taller~)

My original idea was to make a sky blue dress for her, but the store I get my fabric had 1 yard of blue left, and I can't make a long flowy dress with one yard. So I got red and white instead, she's attends Stony brook and one of the school's colors is red so it's cool~
I'm in the School of Visual Arts (red's also our color)- this recent semester I was taking a digital embroidery class. After I finished my final project I embroidered this design which is the front of her dress :D!
I drew a design a while back, and with Photoshop and my trusty Wacom Tablet I rearranged it soo many times, this one variation of that design I made. There's a computer software linked to the embriodery machine, kinda like Photoshop, and you design, choose what patterns threads, everything you want the machine to do. I used a silver thread, it's all one continuous fill :).

Here's a quick pic of it. My head in the back~
(Looks like a silkscreen print)
I'm almost done, a more in depth post/look of the dress soon :)

Greetings and Salutations!

Hello to anyone who stops on by, and thank you in advance :)

My name's Shurmmi and I'm constantly making. I'm always hesitant of the title 'artist' especially in today's world.  Drawings, paintings, dresses, etc. (If your wondering, yup I drew my banner pic.) Anything that will comfort, put smiles on faces. Yes, I create Beauty- that right there can mean a lot of things. My pencil is my best (inanimate) friend. I LOVE to draw, if I was a video game character that would be my specialty ;D ~ well maybe, it sounds kinda pathetic if the other characters could use magic or weapons and actually do stuff... Anyways~ Aside from my pencil there's my nifty sewing machine. I'm still a novice at sewing, but I still sew on. (I get all happy and giddy when seeing my sister fit comfortably and confidently in a dress I've made) Most of what  I know about garment construction, I taught myself through trial and error. I've cut out so many patterns out of my dad's newspaper~  I tried the blog before but that didn't work out too well, hopefully this time I'll last longer. It's just like writing in a journal, except just documentation of things I make.  :)
