1 Shirt Mock-Up Front
| 2 Shirt Mock-Up Back
| 3 With the under cape pinned on.
|
4 Fabric and parts without flash under florescent light.
| 5 Fabric and parts with flash.
| 6 After seeing her patterns and scaling them up, I can't believe how easy the cape thing actually is lol.
|
7 Back of the cape.
| 8 Trying it on for the first time. I had to adjust the shoulders because my dress form has steep shoulders, mine are straighter across. I also need to lengthen the bust a few inches, otherwise I may end up flashing people *oops*.
| 9 Back view, I think I may shorten the cape about 2-3", I know it's long, but this is really long, even after accounting for the seam allowances.
|
10 Crop Top and inner sleeve. Just a tad too short, I run the risk of falling out the bottom of this if I don't lengthen it a bit. The sleeve fit perfectly and will be really awesome with the correct fabric and piping.
| 11 Front after pinning on the hood.
| 12 Close up of my really wrinkly mock-up fabric lol.
|
13 The back hood. I was running out of fabric, so I had to make it a little shorter along the top, when I do the real one, I will make this a little more drapey.
| 14 Completed mock-up top. I didn't self line the hood or cape in the mock-up, it's not really needed.
| 15 Cutting out the good fabric by using the mock up as a pattern.
|
16 All the fabric cut and ready.
| 17 Cutting out the hood... I hope the 2.5 yards I have left will be enough for the skirt *eep*
| 18 The sleeve from hell. I only say that because the fabric was shredding my thread. I had to go out the next day and get new thread and beeswax.
|
19 The inside of the self lined and piped sleeve :-) I'm proud of myself on the neatness of this. I'm slowly improving my technique with each project :-D
| 20 Wax on the thread as it pulls through the machine. This worked like a charm, it kept the thread from shredding or getting tangled in the fabric. Beeswax and Gutermann Thread
| 21 Back of the top with the cape pinned in place to see how looks.
|
22 The bodice before the faux wraps and the hood.
| 23 Paint tests. First it was too light silver, then it was too blue, and then it was perfect (top right corner flur).
| 24 Painting the edges first, and then going to the middle of the back. This part is fun, but a little nerve wracking. I'm worried that with each stamp, it will be smudged or something lol.
|
25 Stamp! I made it in ratio to my wrist. The actual costume looks like the flur is about as wide as her wrist, so that's what I did with mine :-)
