Here is Sarah washing the tshirt to ready it for the dye....And here am I having reached the exact shade of purple of our lavender fabric.
Lots of sparkly lavender fabric.
Sewing up the waistband for the floofy skirt
Pinning tulle to the collar |
Threading elastic through the skirt
Phase 1 of skirt: completed. Next up, pinning the sleeves.
Phase 1 of shirt completed.
And now for the fitting.....
Looking like a carnival dancer--sleeves too long |
Mostly done--skirt raised 12", sleeves cut in half/poofed. |
The back |
Finishing touch--ribbon around collar with decorative stitch in darker thread. |
**UPDATE**
So it seems that a bag was needed to haul all around Sam's stuff, and that wouldn't clash with the costume. So...you guessed it---bag making time!! Found a relatively simple pattern here. Sam provided fabric, and I got to do my first fabric applique--very exciting! And not as difficult as I anticipated.
Appliqued a big yellow star onto the front of the bag.
Did a lining (partly because the purple fabric was pretty thin) and a pocket because...well, pockets are cool.
Some slight confusion on assembly, but for the most part it was easily constructed. The straps I made extra long, due to the fact that they'll have to go around large puffy sleeves.
Completed!!!
**UPDATE**
Sam got her wig in the mail and it really does complete the look...which is awesome. Add to that some fake eyelashes and makeup=epic.
**UPDATE**
Sam got many many pics of her LSP costume taken at comic con. Successful costume! At comic con:
