Mulierose at MakeIt Vancouver all weekend long

Amanda — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 20:41:30 +0000

Mulierose will be beta testing a new idea at MakeIt this weekend! You’ll be able to scour our rack of pristine dress shirts for yourself.

No more wishing this dress’s ruffle was on that dress, or that exact pattern pairing came in a different size. You can choose the fabric, size and the design from any of our existing patterns, and get it shipped right to your doorstep.

Stop by our booth early for the best selection.

New belts available from Mulierose

Amanda — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 06:01:27 +0000

Ok, so it’s not remade of anything old, but I HAD to have one myself. And I thought if I HAD to have one, you probably HAVE to have on too. So here’s your chance. I’ve got them in small, medium, and large for $20. Available for a limited trial run directly through me. Email me at amanda (at) mulierose (dot) ca if you’re interested.

Upside down jacket

Amanda — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 06:33:52 +0000

In keeping with the upcycled and upside down theme, I’ve recently created an upside down jacket from a man’s dress shirt with some crafty draping and strategic button placement. I like it so much I had a little dance party in my studio while I took the photos below. Let me know what you think in the comments below and if you’d be interested in wearing a one of a kind creation like this around town.

New wristlets in the Etsy store

A recent sewing spree has left me with so many wristlets I had to create a whole new section for them on Etsy. Check it out for the best selection now before the craft show season starts!

The magic in front of the curtain

Amanda — Wed, 03 Oct 2012 23:55:56 +0000

I’ve always been a do-it-myselfer, even when it would be easier with help. A great example of this is my makeshift photography studio in my living room.

After moving the couch to the kitchen, I pull down a roll of white paper I’ve suspended from the ceiling with a couple of bicycle hooks and thick doweling. Tada! A backdrop! A couple of sheets of bristol from the dollar store on a nearby Ikea shelf, and voila! A reflector to bounce the light from the opposing window so I don’t have to worry about lights.

I have a hard time focusing my eyes and don’t like manual focusing my camera, so I use auto focus on a mannequin with a twelve second timer. After setting the shot, I jump into place, carefully moving the mannequin so it doesn’t cast a shadow, and wait for the shutter.

After a few quick edits like cropping, colour adjustments, and resizing for web in Adobe Bridge, they’re uploaded to Etsy and other social media channels in hopes that they’ll be the next viral pin on Pinterest!

I know magicians don’t tell their tricks to keep the magical feeling. But for me – the magic is in sharing the story of the clothes. I hope you feel just as magical gifting and wearing them!
