Formula Drift Show

Velasco goes corporate.


model and patron Shianxiu wanted me to finally check out the Formula Drift Show in New
Jersey.
I had no idea how hot it was on June 14 2008. As you can see, these models were
being soldiers as I passed out in the air-conditioned deluxe bed in the Nitto Trailer.
Needless to say, I missed the show but had a good nap.

Busy Girl in Her Hometown



In NYC, visiting my mother in Long Island, visiting my family, Mid-town, Uptown, poolside, investor meetings, and most important times. I only had time to change shoes and little details. The dress worked out in all my situations.
P.S.Go to where the love is and you'll do alright.
.
Go where the love is.

Very Busy Summer!



coming soon pics of the Cannes Film Festival Dress made exclusively for actress Shianxiu. If you see it, unfortunately I only made one.
Will Shianxiu travel globally or stay in Seattle giving Velasco fresh organic
tomato soup?
Velasco's fall pieces for 2008........
oh yes a much anticipated film project for William Spiritdancer...Star Kids.
I had been dreaming of all the clothes for the charactors who are innocent spirits within children born in this earth. I see clothes as magnificant facades that shield our mosts vulnerable desire to be loved for who we Are and not what we Seem.

So friends and loved ones I may be a little tied up sewing away with my various projects. If you want to help drop by with a double short mocha.

So many projects so little time!!!

Wii Shirt + Sewing Tips = Mini Skirt

cut
measure your full hips, then measure your back side only...so if your full hip is 34....your butt is half 17 + 2" more or less depending on your proportions......divide in half which is 19 divided by 2=9.5"...this is important to put a dart ....divide 9.5" and you'll get 4.75"...mark with pin...along each side put a pin 1/2" away. This is the wide part of a dart..(a dart shapes your curves). Get a t-square ruler or square book
and place in the middle of the dart....measure 4 inches down. Pin to mark. Fold the top of the dart(widest part) making sure to match the two pins that are 1/2' away from the middle one to the disappearing point. Sew...you made a dart
sew your side seams, it should look like a dart...or pin to fit..sew!!!you are almost done..

Wii Shirt + Sewing Tips = Mini Skirt

add a pocket...I just draped a shell like thing for fun...you can add a square one...fold in 1/2" pin to skirt where you like it. Sew!!!
