I've been in love with this dress ever since I saw it. The color and the dress are both amazing. So I went to the fabric store today and found a light satin that looks very close to the fabric color used in the movie. It was only $4 a yard so I fell to my desire to make this dress and bought 8 yards of it. It ended up being $32, not bad for that ( Read more... )

I'm kind of mad at myself. I sat down around 3 pm today to sew my Belle shirt. I sewed for 6 hours straight and took a break, then sewed for another hour and my Belle shirt still isn't done. I don't know if it's because I'm lining it and technically making two shirts, that I zig zaged all the edges to help with fraying, or that I'm just slow. I was ( Read more... )

I am a HUGE fan of LOST. One of my favorite characters is Kate. So I decided it would be fun to do one of her outfits. I choose the one from the Pilot episode when they first crash on the island. I wasn't worried too much about accuracy. I didn't want to spend a ton of money but just get the overall look.

My sister spotted some khaki pants for sale ( Read more... )

There was some discussion within our Garrison about the large amount of requests we were getting for Birthday parties. Some kids were cancer victums wanting us to come, others just wanted Stormtroopers at their party so they could have something cool there. The problem was we didn't want to become like Clowns. So the deisicion was made to leave it ( Read more... )

On Friday afternoon I quickly basted my Belle dress together and was pleased to discover that the way I cut the dress will work out perfect. The dress ended up being way too big on me. I was happy about that too since I was scared since I didn't cut the dress as big as I normally do. So I put the dress on my dress dummy with a shirt and Texas  ( Read more... )

I recieved a refund check from my school. I have no idea what its for but I didn't argue and instead deposited it and ordered my Wonder Woman boots. I wanted to get flats but when I thought about having to paint those and after talking to other Wonder Women I decided to go with the ones with the heels. I'm going to start practicing walking in them ( Read more... )

I was in Wallmart last weekend and spotted these shoes. Although they aren't 100% accurate because they don't have a heel, which I didn't want in the first place, but they are very comfortable and are the right color. They were also only $10 so I'm very pleased with them.

I finally was able to cut out Belle's dress today. I had to alter the pattern a little, mostly with the placement of the princess seams. The ones the pattern called for curved towards the sleeve. I wanted it to go stright up into the collar, so with a quick cutting and taping of the pattern I think I got what I wanted. Here are some really bad ( Read more... )
