I was so blessed that I was given the opportunity I was so blessed that I was given the opportunity to make a costume for my friend @suzannejact1 

She and I have been in many productions together, some with me as costumer, but I have never been able to costume her!!! 

Ignore the wonky back of the belt in that one picture, it was a fitting day and I have fixed it so it lays properly.

Today’s shenanigans: #1. Upcycling some lace cur Today’s shenanigans:
#1. Upcycling some lace curtains to create new curtains for A’s room, curtains that fit her “vibe”
#2. Tracing and pinning and sewing and flipping and pressing reclaimed fabrics for magic circle quilting.  Haven’t decided if they will be bags or blankets of something else. 
#3. Picking out embroidery patterns so A can embroider on some hexies for me for yet another upcycling project.

Despite it kind of being a #nobonesday #nospoonsei Despite it kind of being a #nobonesday #nospoonseither  I needed to do something.
I was so excited to find this at the thrift store I was so excited to find this at the thrift store for 50 cents. Took a chance that it would have all the pieces ( it did ) and failed to realize that patterns back then were for ONE size ( thank goodness I can alter patterns)

My girl asked me to make the pink one pictured for her first homecoming dance. Well, guess what we are doing today. Homecoming is next Friday. 

Alterations made to the mock up. Using a lining instead of facings because I don’t want the satiny seams bothering her. And I think it looks nicer. 

P.S. I went to see if anyone had actually MADE the dress before (I needed to see the back) and kind of geeked out to see @backroomfinds made one!!! 

Well…..here goes nothing.
I’m still hunting down pictures from her birthda I’m still hunting down pictures from her birthday party in hopes of finding one of her dress after it was tweaked and steamed. Until then….i have her silly dance when it was finally done. Minus the extra silly moves ….per her request. #stopfastfashion #sewverypeculiar #custompromdress #hermionewinterballdress

Pausing for dentist appointments that can’t be postponed any longer.
The very rough mock up and the very Final Cut piec The very rough mock up and the very Final Cut pieces for the bodice. 

The flounces are working the way I want but I learned I may need to dye more upcycled chiffon!! 

I dyed some beautifully embroidered curtains that I’m really hoping will work out for her sleeves. If not, well, there was no harm in trying and that fabric will look fabulous on another project.  Also, I gave me some really cool options to add to my scrappy bundles! (Preorder now!)

We did get the fabric dyed for @stitchandbubby ‘s dress. 

I love sitting down until I HAVE to sit down. Tatting at least keeps my hands busy.
