Tulip Fest Costume Progress

Thought it about time to update the blog.

I've made much progress on the costume I've been creating for the Tulip Festival which is on the 12th of October! Very excited to finally be able to see it as a whole. Even though I had to make a few changes to my initial idea, it turned out pretty good. Not long to go until I'll be wearing it in public. 

As is my tradition, here's the sketch I quickly did before starting. Bet my teacher would be proud of me for keeping up this little habit! I find it helps to get the idea out of my head and on paper before starting, it focuses my mind and gives me a better understanding of the project and how it will come together.

Astoundingly mums old sewing machine cooperated during the project!

 We have had words before, which ended badly, with the machine chewing up my material. So it was nice to learn that we could both be mature, 

get over our misunderstandings and work together. 

I pray this truce continues.

Making the little head-dress was probably the most fun of all! 

hoping to get a few tulips on the day to add to it.

Loving the three shades of green I chose for the costume! 

 

The pin-cushion from the dawn of time! 

I have so many memories of this little character, it has been a fixture for as long as I can remember. I am unable to imagine it being out side of it's natural habitat, our workroom,  right next to the sewing machine. 

Where many a monster has been created with it's help.

Planning to do a photo shoot some time soon. 

I can't wait to share some themed pictures of the whole outfit with you.

So keep an eye out for my next post.
