Christmas Star

This is an old one, that I meant to post last December...but better late than never.

So story short, we were away for christmas, mom and older sister said its not christmas without a tree, got tree (turns out it was really cheap since we were in pine tree country apparently) and some assortment of decorations. But no star. So I made a star out of the soda boxes.

Since we were away from any craft supplies I had to make a makeshift ruler out of the same boxes.

I also forgot to take my own photos of the star, so I took these from my lil sisters twitter. (Who thanked Coca Cola instead of me!!!!!)

I made some more of those Bags

My little sister put in a request last christmas, and it was done.

Anna Part III

In order to fully capture the stress completing this costume I added a few drawings

and thanks to AdreeCosplays where I went for my guidance for this cape.

Anna Part II

Taken care of a lot of steps since last post. 

 Cut out the skirt from my old bedsheets.

And than gathered the skirt and sewn it onto the vest.

I tore a zipper from an old bag I don't use and repurposed it to fasten the dress.

 A thank you to Event Horizon Cosplay for the pattern.

And that is how I made Anna's dress from supplies found from my basement. I decided to skip making the shirt for I gotten short on time, but what is Anna's costume without her cloak?

Anna Part I

 Got started on my costume the other day! The black vest with golden lining is done.

Its a little short for Anna's vest but I am happy with it.

Pouch

I have seen this DIY makeup bag tutorial for a while and I thought "Yeah, I can do this" and went to it after thinking that for a few months.

Saw that,

made this.

Halloween Costume

This year I want to make a full costume, rather than part of it, like when I was a fox dancer from "What Does the Fox Say" last year. I decided to go to my default Halloween costume, for I don't have an idea another costume. Most of it has to do with the time it takes to make it look good,  since I never done this before, I need that extra time for covering my tracks.

Anyway default costume means I am going Disney princess, but unlike the tradition of wearing the large child dresses with matching pants, I am going to make it. I chose Anna for unlike Elsa the cold always bothers me. Anna costume is cute and weather prepared.

I also found most of the fabric and materials I need in the basement. (How wonderfully convenient)

And I just practiced working from patterns from my grandmothers collection and scrap fabric

(its so old it cost 35 cents) 

I am going to work from another pattern and than start my work on the actual costume, but I am really excited. All I need to buy is the cape material. I thought of leaving it out, but I realized she never takes that cape off in the movie. Wish she did, just so I know exactly what method her dress is held together, but like everybody else who made this I will just choose my own.
