Thread: Yeah! Found someone to do my costumes!!

This is random, but I had to post it.

Guess what, everyone? I realized I suck at making costumes! ..l;,

So, do you remember the friend I wrote a forum about? The one I said wanted to do bellydance classes with Faten, and had no dance background, and that I was going to teach in a month? Update, I talked her out of it and saved us both! Don't feel like finding it, so if you didn't read it, that's ok.

Well, I found out today that she make costumes, and does really good work. She actually had her own business. Go figure! So I'm getting her to make me some costumes (Yeah!) for the future. I'll post her designs when the are ready later this year.

The point is, I found someone close to do my costumes at a lower price.

So excited!

Wow, that is something I would be interested in. I actually like making some but have more ideas than time and skills....Really good for you and I look forward to seeing some of your lovely things later! Do you mostly do tribal costumes for wearing or cabaret?

I like cabaret, though my primary style is Egyptian. I like to mix it (as you can see from the avatar photo, that's more of a tribal belt).

Awesome! That was an interesting initial connection you made with her, then!

I love having a seamstress who is familiar with my outside-of-the-box tastes. She does the part that I can't/won't do (negotiate with the sewing machine) and I add the rest of the goodies. It's a wonderful working relationship.

I am currently on the hunt for an amazing seamstress. I lack the talent of putting my ideas into reality with a sewing machine. I can't wait to see the designs. How lucky to have found someone.
