TRUE BLUE ART FOR FASHION

There are plenty of things going on in my mind right now especially my planned works of art for my looks and for using my overflowing creative juices that got stuck swimming in my head.
I know that my list won't end right here, right now because there are so many different and plenty of ideas and inspirations that I can use to utilize for my creativeness. I'm not bragging because I can do art but because I have talent and I love art in fashion.
Here's the list of plans but I'll try to keep on adding other ideas later.:


  • DIY TEE SHIRT TO TANK TOP
I made my very first tank top from an old thrifted tee shirt because it's very worn out and it got a tiny hole at the back because I guess it got torn from I don't know where. I removed the sleeves and collar and it turned pretty cool because it also has a graphic print and I really love the outcome of my work.
I'm now planning to do the same thing on my Giordano mint green tee that has a glittery blue print on it saying "not my cup of tea". It got so worn out because I fell in love with it and the print! Gosh. The other one is my old crimson thrifted tee from a surplus Korean boutique. The nice thing about the tee is the metallic geometric purple print on it that glitters when hit by light. I sew blue beads on it but didn't finish it because it looked too overwhelming on the print.
The only problem I have  is the tracing wheel because when I tried to ask for it and buy all the stocks were sold. They are still re-stocking the items. And it's very frustrating knowing that it's gone when you needed it the most! It's better than using the chalk because it won't leave marks that is very hard to remove, instead it would only leave tiny holes to trace for when cutting.


  • STUDS AND SPIKES FOR SHOES
I kept asking my workmate where I can buy studs, the pyramid shaped ones, because I'm gonna decorate/design a pair of slip-ons that  I'll buy and use for a casual get-up or during parties. She told me that the fabric store that she used to work at is selling them and they are expensive (she warned me) but I told her that I don't care as long as I can spruce up the slip-ons and use it. 
I also keep on looking online for anyone that sells them and found one but not locally and it only costs a dollar and has 200 pieces of them and comes in different sizes and in gold and silver. Their are many videos on Youtube that teaches and shows you how to DIY studded shoes without spending too much and it's very easy and practical you can even create other designs compared to the branded ones. Using your imagination and creativity will give you fantastic results.



  • OWN ONLINE TEE BUSINESS
This is still pending because I still don't have the needed budget for the proposed business!
I have seen many designs on tees just like the very common graphic tees that popped up online and being worn by everyone everywhere. It gave me the idea of making my own designs by using other printed fabrics especially the animal printed or leopard prints because I know it'll attract younger clients in no time and will result to bulk orders. Haha! I can create my own tees with different printed fabrics then shaped into geometrical or cut into the very famous "inverted cross" and sew it patch-like on the tee. It would be cheaper than the branded ones and very practical also.
My target would be the younger fashionistas and fashionistos because they are profitable clients/customers. 

I am still brainstorming on other plans and I hope I can have many and can do it!
