Re: Mouse making something....

So having booked to go to another party, I obviously needed a new outfit to go in. Since I had some yellow boots and we have already established on this cafe that purple and yellow are a good combination, a new yellow skirt was required to go with the semi transparent purple leotard I have been making for some time.

Yes I am making another circle skirt, because I am pushed for time and I like circle skirts. They work well in latex. The round things are large washers that Mrs Mouse bought me for my sewing projects to act as weights when cutting out patterns.

A circle! To make this outfit I have bought latex in 0.33 mm from Supatex https://www.supatex.com instead of Radical Rubber https://radicalrubber.co.uk Each company makes great latex, but in different colours. Ran into a small problem in that the width of the Supatex is smaller, so my original short skirt pattern was too big. No problem I made another which fitted and will just mean my new skirt is slightly shorter!

Here I am preparing to glue the waist band strengthening piece of latex. The glue reacts with the latex and causes it to curl up. The first short skirt I made, I cut the middle hole out first and when I went to glue it, it all cured up and stuck to its self in a sticky mess. So now I cut the hole out last.

The finished skirt and outfit. I was really pleased with the whole look. I got many compliments at the party where I am a man in a latex skirt.
Daily, a happy man in a skirt...
