I see all.....

Upcoming shows are finally kicking my costume needs into full gear, even if I have been ignoring my knitting. Also, sewing uses needles, too, so it is okay for my sewing escapades to grace this blog. :)

My Magenta dress is essentially done. It's a modified Savers dress that required me to take in inches of fabric in order to make it fit right. I still need to tweak it a little bit, but the collar and cuffs came out fantastic. I'll post pics of that once I have them.

Below, however, is the apron, which I am especially proud of. It's also gracing the lovely dress form that the fantastic Kyri gave me. She is a wonderful, kind woman (whose need to clean out her basement often helps me out tremendously). :)

The reason I am so proud of it is that I was inventive and made it out of a two dollar used window curtain. I did not want to take the time to sew the annoying pleated edge (because I am lazy >.>) so I used the ruffled edge of the curtain (which, in my laziness, I attached to the body of the apron by using fabric glue). The rest of the apron follows the lovely tutorials from the blog, Columbia's Closet.

My inventiveness makes me proud. :) Though the straps did come out a little narrower than I was hoping due to the fact that I ran short on fabric.

All that is left to do is hand stitch closed the opening on the back of the strap where the apron body is attached. Woot. :)

Here's a reference photo for comparison.

I've also been trying to style a wig, but it's not going very well. I wish it would, so that I could go ahead and cut my hair, though I get the feeling that it's not going to happen. :(

Here's the pictures of the wig before i started messing with it, just because.

Oh, and because I haven't posted it before, a pic of friend Nikki wearing my Columbia shorts and bustier(the other pieces are either hers or borrowed from other mutual friends). Since then I've helped her make her own shorts, and a screen accurate corset (sequined fabric and all).  Still, these are another set of costume pieces that I am proud of, even if I've barely gotten to use them.
