Just wanted to follow up with some photos of the SUEDEsays� for eCraft � dresses I designed using the new eCraft by Craftwell. It is designed for paper cutting but thinking outside the box I used the machine to create these three looks.
1) 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.
2) 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!!!
3) 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!!!
Project Runway Season 5 designer, Stephen Suede Baum has been busy with some very exciting projects.
1) I am out at Joann Fabrics Corp. headquarters in Kent, Ohio - not far from where I went to college - to judge their annual Prom Competition. This years grand prize award...... $50,000. WOW I don't know why we didn't enter that one...
2) Tomorrow, I'm off to to Chicago as a celebrity spokes person for a eCraft by Craftwell. The machine is used for home crafts and digitally laser cuts out signs, shapes etc. I have been commissioned to create 3 garments out of unexpected materials using the machine to make the shapes. Hmmmmm sounds like a project runway challenge.. hehehe

Were you wondering exactly what the "manufactured" version of Suede's winning dress would look like? I know I was. It seemed like it would be a real challenge to capture the handcrafted nature of the design.
Well here it is! Isn't it great? It looks just like the original - maybe better -modeled by Nicole Donnelly. Click here to read more. Thanks for sharing your photo, Nicole!
