Well it seems that costume making has gotten a bit more difficult, as I am out of grommets, boning, fabric and in need of larger pattern sizes. So, this means that I need to go get more stuff on Saturday, ASAP and start making up for lost time, sewing like there’s no tomorrow. So here’s what I will need:
. Three packages of silver grommets
. 1 package of gold grommets
. Another 2 yards of boning
. 2 more yards of the yellow satin Belle skirt fabric
. Cheap, yellow gauzy skirt overlay
. White, shiny fabric for the underskirt
. 1 package of large sew-on rosettes or pearls
. 3 packages of smaller satin rosettes or pearls
. Simplicity 4145 in sizes 14, 16, 18 and so on
. Mc Call’s 5138 for Alice blouse
. 5 yards of inexpensive, blue Ariel skirt fabric
. maybe 2 yards more of black trouser fabric
. If possible, buy Butterick B4427 size B, along with cheap blue fabric and 2 yards of 1/4 inch elastic
What I need to do:
. Make Jesse her corset, skirt and hairbow for Ariel
. Finish Paige’s bodice, along with the sash trim, and rosettes
. Finish her skirt, as well as the over-skirt stuff
. Tell Paige she needs gloves, or buy them for her and then get reimbursed
. Finish my Alice blouse
. Make Julia her corset for Halloween
Here are the pics of the costumes I will be making:
This would be my Alice costume, everything else is all finished, I even got the shoes
This would be an example of what i was thinking for the Belle ballgown
This would be the costume I am making for Jesse for Halloween, as well as to be displayed in my college resume
Even though this will set me back by a lot, its worth it for college and such, as well as gifts that will go on for Christmas, birthdays, graduation, and missed birthdays, etc.
