2014 Skating Dress(es)

August 11, 2014

Seeing as how this is (supposed to be) a sewing blog, I feel that it is about time I start actually posting some sewing projects to it.  So far this year I have sewn five skating dresses for myself (well, one of them was actually started, and mostly finished, two years ago, so it doesn’t … More 2014 Skating Dress(es)

Newsflash: The USARS 2014 Dance and Figure Draw is Out!

May 1, 2014

A bit of roller skating news – the USARS Regional/National draw for the 2014 dance and figure requirements has been announced. You can see it by CLICKING HERE. Any skaters out there?  Are we happy with the picks?  Looks like it is time to start living at the rink again.  Happy skating!

2013 Figure Dress #2 – The Galloping Peacock

September 28, 2013

Ok, so a few days ago I showed off my first attempt at a figure dress for the season.  It turned out alright, but it wasn’t quite as impressive as I wanted it to be, so I decided to make a second dress for nationals.  Earlier this year I bought this fabric from the LA … More 2013 Figure Dress #2 – The Galloping Peacock

2013 Figure Dress #1 – Teal Lace

September 26, 2013

I have been a bit slow in posting the skating costumes I made for competition this year because I was waiting for some of the good professional photos to come.  I don’t have a lot of good photos of this particular dress because I only wore it at regionals, and the lighting was terrible.  I … More 2013 Figure Dress #1 – Teal Lace

Finished Object: 2012 Figure Skating Dress

August 26, 2012

Ok, I figure it is about time to post my finished skating costumes from this year – I started working on these at the end of March, and finished everything at the end of July.  I won’t be posting a lot of the outfits I sewed, since a majority of them were for other people, … More Finished Object: 2012 Figure Skating Dress

Skating Equipment: Let’s Talk Boots

July 17, 2012

Continuing on in my whirlwind tour of skating equipment, I have finally reached what is probably the most personal piece of all skating equipment – the boot.  While skaters tend to have strong preferences for their equipment choices, the boot is probably the one that skaters will argue, debate, and go to war over.  Possibly … More Skating Equipment: Let’s Talk Boots

Skating Equipment: Let’s Talk Plates

June 25, 2012

Although I have already done an extensive number of in-depth posts on my transition to Roll Line plates, I thought I should do a more general post for my skating equipment series. *Disclaimer* I want to state that all of my reviews are opinions formed based on personal experience and are not meant to be … More Skating Equipment: Let’s Talk Plates

Skating Equipment: Let’s Talk Bearings

June 12, 2012

Since my sewing has been completely focused on skating costumes for others recently, I have very little to show, I thought I would continue my Skate Equipment review series so that I at least have *something* to talk about.  My plan is to do a weekly skate-part review post until I have covered a majority … More Skating Equipment: Let’s Talk Bearings

Skating Equipment: Let’s Talk Wheels

June 5, 2012

I did a fair bit of talking about skate equipment this past year as I documented my transition from Atlas Plates to Roll Line Plates (and something of a transition back on my loop skates).  I thought it might be fun to do something of a series on skating equipment and the options available.  Since … More Skating Equipment: Let’s Talk Wheels

Artistic Roller Skating – An Overview

March 7, 2012

After reading Roller Skating for Gold, I was inspired to try to find videos of many of the legends mentioned in the book.  I have been doing a series of posts on the various dances used on the international level, but I have been quite lax in posting other great skating videos to my blog. … More Artistic Roller Skating – An Overview
