<em>
Please be aware that the pattern requires some minor adjusting to get a perfect fit. I strongly recommend that you make a mock up out of an inexpensive fabric before proceeding to anything of value. 
The areas that seem to need the most adjusting are in the shoulders and the chest area. I would recommend adding a few inches to the shoulders beyond what the pattern dictates. 
The chest cut out area also needs to be adjusted from the original lines on the pattern for a comfortable fit.  

Thanks so much for writing! 
If you have any more questions about the pattern please feel free to write again.

Lovely Thalisha </em>]]></description>

         <title>Elex Boot Repair</title>
         <description><![CDATA[Cinderella couldn't wear <em>these </em>shoes to the ball.

<a href="http://blog.kamice.com/uploaded_images/Boots1-783285.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://blog.kamice.com/uploaded_images/Boots1-783282.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>

<a href="http://blog.kamice.com/uploaded_images/Boots2-788854.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://blog.kamice.com/uploaded_images/Boots2-788848.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>

<a href="http://blog.kamice.com/uploaded_images/Boots3-737644.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://blog.kamice.com/uploaded_images/Boots3-737641.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>

So I have repaired them.
Now he can wear his kilt and I won't have to cry anymore... don't ask.

Here is half way through the process...

<a href="http://blog.kamice.com/uploaded_images/Boots4-710187.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://blog.kamice.com/uploaded_images/Boots4-710183.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>

<a href="http://blog.kamice.com/uploaded_images/Boots5-759895.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://blog.kamice.com/uploaded_images/Boots5-759890.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>

The back all stitched up...

<a href="http://blog.kamice.com/uploaded_images/Boots6-723784.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://blog.kamice.com/uploaded_images/Boots6-723780.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>
My hands all black...

<a href="http://blog.kamice.com/uploaded_images/Boots7-775377.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://blog.kamice.com/uploaded_images/Boots7-775374.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>


<strong>Finished</strong>

Hooray! So pretty!

<a href="http://blog.kamice.com/uploaded_images/Boots8-716446.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://blog.kamice.com/uploaded_images/Boots8-716443.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>

So I essentially washed these boots, sewed up the back, hot glued the soles back on, polished the fuck out of them and burned off all the loose threads. 

I am awesome.

         <title>Green Tribal Fusion Belt and Bra Set</title>
         <description><![CDATA[I made this set from some fabric scraps left over from a <a href="http://costume.kamice.com/2007/06/ghawazee_coat_1.php">Ghawazee Coat</a>, a scarf from the thrift store, a disassembled Kuchi necklace, yarn from another belt and some cowrie shells.

         <title>Ghawazee Coat</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<strong>Greetings!  I am in the process of designing/building a "belly dancer's jacket" (not meaning to sound ill informed, I can't remember what they're called for the life of me!).  I was hoping you'd have a suggestion for a pattern or perhaps other expert info to share.</strong>

<em>Merry met! Thanks so much for writing. I think what you are looking for is a Ghawazee Coat.  Many Tribal Style dancers have adopted this particular costuming bit and you will see it a lot in many historical dance performaces.<a href="http://www.suburban-ghawazee.net/pattern_reviews/pattern_review_BD2014.html">The Suburban Ghawazee</a> provides an excellent review of one pattern as well as multiple places to purchase it.  If you are feeling adventureous <a href="http://www.geocities.com/tala571/ghawazee.html">Tala al-Hooriya's Website</a> will walk you through how to make your own pattern and <a href="http://www.shira.net/cg/ghawazee.htm">The Costume Goddess</a> will show you how to modify an existing dress or jacket pattern into a Ghawazee Coat.  <a href="http://www.adira.us/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=PT-803&Category_Code=P">Adira</a> sells an adjustable Ghawazee Coat pattern. I also sell a pattern for a modern rendition of the Ghawazee Coat. The current pattern I have for sale is sleeveless but I am working on another that will feature optional sleeves and other customizable bits. 

Thanks again for writing and good luck!

Here are some pics of Ghawazee Coats made from my pattern:</em>]]></description>
