Earlier this week I got a call from my dear friend Suede Baum. He was on his way to Chicago for the CHA Trade Show and was so excited to tell me about the SUEDEsays™ for eCraft ™ dresses he designed using the new eCraft by Craftwell. “It is designed as a paper cutting, but thinking outside the box I used the machine to create three looks,” Suede says.
Check out his gorgeous designs!
Butterfly Felt Dress - “I custom designed the tropical filigree pattern on the bodice to resemble lace. I used felt over the reverse side of charmuse to create this dress – along with a healthy dose of tulle. The butterfly skirt shows how 3-d effects can be utilized instead of always cutting things out.”
Glitter Disco Mini Dress - “I created a lace slip dress as the base and used the eCraft to cut out hundreds of circles and then stitched each one on by hand.. YIKES talk about a challenge!!!”
Upside Down Tree Dress - “I created a linen bustier style bodice and covered it with self adhesive wood veneer using the eCraft to cut those customized shapes that fit perfectly into the style lines. Then I made a raw silk skirt and created customized vine-like leaf shapes using the eCraft. Then I stitched the leaves down all over the 8 gore handkerchief hem line skirt to give it the perfect GAGA meets MADONNA look. Suede is sooo ready to dress the girlz!!!”
