Did I mention I'm an Audio Engineer?

  

Or at least I'm trying to be. I think I'm pretty good at it, but I don't make a living recording. I just love it. Especially analog recording.

I wanted to share some pictures from a day in Control B. A little peak into my life beyond thrifting and crafts.

I was actually making a cassette that day. So I used this when I was done to judge how it would sound on a regular old boom box.

Since this blog is supposed to be about clothes and crafts I didn't want to get into too much gear talk but if you have questions about what I was working on let me know. And speaking of clothes...this is how I look on an average day at the studio...

A Little Trim Makes a Time-Warp

A few moths ago, I found this plain old 90s sack dress at the thrift shop. I dug the impressionist nose-gay floral print, and there was something cool about the way it fit, but it was nothing special...     

On another thrift trip, a couple months later, I found a bag of old ribbons and notions that included some great faux-crochet (faux-chet?) trim. Today, I decided to put the two together... 

  

         

        

The end result is a little tie-back baby doll that I will totally wear...

 I like it much better now. I  feel like I opened a ribbon-lined worm-hole from 1993 to 1969. Now it's more granny/girly, more my style. It's also a little more flattering. I'm also considering shortening it a  bit. Why not complete the time-warp and make it a mini? But I'm a little torn. I sort of like the length. I think I'll wear it a couple times before I decide.

Anyways thats it. A little trim and some hand sewing can make a so-so dress a little more wearable. Actually,  some of you might think the dress was better before I go my hands on it. If so let me know. I can handle it. 

Thanks for reading,
