machinery...

i know this is very mainstream and commercial but it was fun doing it... i had the idea for that about half a year ago, but now after my matriculation i finally had the time to do this simple but very effective photomanipulation.

and today i went to buy a sewing machine with my grandparents. so now i'm the proud owner of a brand new pfaff sewing machine. i am very happy about it, because now i do not only have the time to sew but also the right equipment. so massproduction of salwars and other clothes can begin!

rose of jericho

my first attempt at making a time lapse video.
the rose of jericho is a "flower" that can live without water for years. but if it is exposed to water, it flourishes within about half an hour, which is about the time i shot photographs.

self made salwar

i made this traditional salwar two days ago. a friend of mine has bought a similar one and since then i wanted to sew my own. i mean, what did i attend a fashion college for... to be able to sew my own clothes, that's for sure! at first i didn't even know what these trousers were called, but after some internet recherche i discovered a pattern and a tutorial that showed how to sew these comfortable trousers. below you can find the pattern i used.

how to make a salwar

i'd be pleased to see the result if anyone of you sews his/her own salwar. thanks in advance :)
