ETSY HALT

 

So I opened up an ETSY shop with my sister last year where we made such items, as well as native hair/braid wraps. We had costumers but not much! Still all was fun and I learned what to do and not to do next time. Unfortunately by sister and I ran it... and no longer run it together. She moved across country and I started my internship in NYC. Due to a dramatic lifestyle/partner change, I put GRIFFIN SISTERZ to a halt. After all, what's a college student to do??? But I have a new project, I'm making my dad a new leather suit. And after that.....I will be starting Griffin Sisters back up as a clothing store with miner accessories. I'm looking forward to creating a 100% organic line for sale in the three basic sized S,M,L. custom orders to be made by special demand. Hopefully coming spring 2016!!!

 

another journey 2015

Hey, 
so I'm back again! I'm in my third year 2015 of fashion school. Third year, because I'm behind on a class. And I'm super excited for my internship starting late January. Its on FASHION AVE in MANHATTAN NYC!!!!! I'm just so happy and spiraling into a ball of nerves. It will be my first internship and id love to share my experience with all of you. But first.... let me catch you up on my FALL 2014 fashion line that I presented in the 2014 Nassau community colleges fashion show. Winning designer of the year fashion show....

Hat

Creative scraps

Ok so..... what to do with extra material? Well if you have a lot and you don't know what to do. Just make a loose fit tank with a lace back. :)
ADVISE: make sure its long and loose, make it about three times your size on the form, so your curves can show without it looking weird:).

Old creation bought to life

In one of my older posts i had made a green lantern/ sailor moon costume. But i didn't get to put any pictures on my actual customer. This is my customer rockin the costume at an event.
ADVISE: make sure the customer gives you the best of measurements so everything comes out beautiful and precise. You always want your customer to be pleased with the outcome:)

Baby dress creation!

This june after a wonderful vacation back to my home state California, i was privileged with making my baby sisters birthday dress. I had one week and needed to make it perfect. The pink material was bought from New York city...so i had to make sure it looked awesome for her first birthday party. I truly enjoyed making this beautiful light weight flows dress. PERFECT FOR A NICE HOT SUMMER DAY.
ADVISE: Doing a hem on this light material is really hard to do. Its better of to surge of with a pretty highlighting color.

Tropical dress

I just recently made a dress in my last semester as my final. It is a size 8 and very light weight. Me and one of my best friends desided to go on vacation in california where she modeled my dress on my favorite beach i used to go all the time. All in all we had fun and the dress was an easy colorful make:) its also for sale so feel free to email tehannapie@yahoo.com for details.
ADVICE: light weight material is in need pr lots of surging to get ride of crazy loose threads. Causing the one and only hassle of this tropical dress.
