machine-knit leg warmers for Cameron Diaz

The photo at the left shows part of a machine-knit, thigh-high leg warmer worn by Cameron Diaz in the opening Mongolian scenes of "Charlie's Angels:  Full Throttle".  I had to make 6 pairs of the warmers in under two weeks.

machine-knit sweaters for Bert and Ernie

At the right are machine-knit samples for Bert and Ernie's sweaters worn on Sesame Street.  I have also knit an old fashioned bathing suit top and provided matching yardage for trunks for Ernie to wear in a Muppets movie.

The creation at left is one of the many leg warmers that I knit for the Broadway production of "CATS".  This particular warmer is one of the hand-knit pair for a character named Rumpleteazer.  The orange portion is knitting worsted yarn and the black and white sections are sewing trims made of wool fringe.       

Little Women

machine knit and crochet hat for Amy (far right)

This little hat worn by Amy in "Little Women" has a machine knit body and a crocheted trim and tie.

The hood below is an example of my machine-knit chainmail made from metallic cord.  I made a chain mail shirt and pants for "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" as well as historical hoods, sleeves, and other pieces for theatrical productions.  I have also developed a deconstructed version of this knitting for fashion garments.

At right, a machine-knit and partially embroidered sample of a pumpkin border for an autumn-themed, cardigan sweater for Meryl Streep to wear in "One True Thing".  The green sweater had borders around the sweater and sleeve bottoms and orange zig-zags up the front.  This garment didn't make it into the final version of the film but my knit hats did.

Madonna tour

crochet web sample for a blouse

At left is a sample of a crocheted web fabric that I developed for a number of projects.  This technique was first used for sea costumes in a Las Vegas review, then used for cream tops and part of a pink blouse for Britney Spears in  the "I am a Slave 4U" video, and later done for a blouse for Madonna.  Although the  sample was photographed in a relaxed state, this crochet fabric  is designed to stretch to create form-fitting garments.



MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA
     Here are a few photos of the kimono that I embroidered by hand with the help of a few stalwart elves.  It is worn  by Sayuri at the Baron's cherry blossom party.  For more production photos, check Helloziyi.us.
