Floor-length Skirt

I made this skirt for my sister.  It's a floor length skirt with an elastic waist.

My Own Design

This is my attempt to replicate an outfit that Celtic Woman wore on their Songs From The Heart Tour. Sorry the photo's a little blurry.

The shirt has what I like to call fairy sleeves.  The skirt is a wrap-around that clips at the top.

Date: Summer 2012

Renaissance Dress

My sister asked me to make this for her.  It's floor length over dress with big funnel sleeves and decorative ties.  It laces up the front with gold cord through gold eyelets.

I've been writing some plays here's an excerpt from a one act.  It's still a work in progress.

Scene 2 - Jim and Will discussing about how they are going to convince the workers they’re in charge.

Lights on

(Will and Jim enter)

Will: All I’m saying is that they’re not listening to us.

Jim: Think positively Will.  This is only the first day Mr. Davis is gone.  We’ll get everything figured out by the end.

Will: You be positive, I’ll be realistic.

(John enters)

Jim: All we need to do is convince the workers that we’re in charge. 

Will: How?

Jim: Uh. . . We could get one of those big enforcer guys.  They’d be convinced for sure.

Will: You watch too many movies.

Jim: Hey, if it works for the movies why can’t it work here? 

John: Could just leave them alone.

Will: Leave who alone?

John: The workers.  They’ve been trained, they know what to do.

Will: Can’t do that.  We’re supposed to make sure quota is met, everything’s on schedule, and that the workers don’t kill each other.

John: They get along.

Will: Yeah. . . When they’re being watched.

John: They’re not fighting right now. 

Will: Because the fact that Mr. Davis is gone hasn’t sunk in yet.

(Jim is playing with his phone and suddenly Beethoven’s 5^th Symphony rings out)

Jim: Oh sorry. 

John: You haven’t been listening to a word we’ve been saying.

Jim: So?

John: This is a seriously stressful matter.

Jim: No, when Bale was cast as batman that was a seriously stressful matter.  This is nothing compared to that.

John: You didn’t like batman?

Jim: No, I did.  It was stressful because I had a hard time believing Christan could measure up to Clooney.

John: That batman was pathetic.

Jim: So are you.

John: You need help.

Jim: You need a rain check

John: Would you just be serious for five seconds!?

Jim: Most certainly. . . (Jim’s quiet for five seconds). I want a cookie.

John: Don’t you take anything serious?

Jim: Yes. Lots of things. . . Just not you.

John: Don’t make me set you straight.

Will: We’ll have none of that.

John: Don’t look at me it’s all him.

Will: Anyway.  What should we do to convince the workers?

John: I say leave ‘em be.  (Sarcastically) It’s not like they could blow something up in the span of a week.

Jim:  Hey! That gives me an idea.  Come on Will lets go.

(Jim runs off stage)

Will: Let’s go see what he’s up to. . .

(Will and John exit)
