I'm so organized this time around! Having a space just for sewing helps a lot. My sewing room is wonderful. I have room to neatly cut the fabric, pin instructions up, tuck away patterns and have a space for all my fabric and scraps. I love it. As I said I will be taking a ton of pictures of the progress of our Trinity Blood cosplays, not only for the judges in future contests but for our portfolio. Plus it gives me an excuse to take a bunch of pictures.
The picture above was the last picture I took after I was finished cutting out the fabric. I just love being organized so I couldn't help myself. I do not keep things like that because we have three cats and I cannot leave the door close in that room because of a litter box. So I have everything put away safely so the cats won't tear up the pattern paper. (They love that stuff!)
The patterns I am using, along with the pieces.
Two are for the lining which is a white muslin.
One (x3) for the back and front and is satin.
This is the costume satin in white we got. I have 5 and half yards. I made sure to get extra for the train.
It is really soft and smooth. I think its better than some of the wedding satin I've seen before. Its very nice. The soft sheen to it is perfect. Its spot on for the type of fabric the ref picture shows.
In total there are five pieces of fabric used for this pattern. This pattern is for a "bubble" skirt. The skirt will fall (I'm guessing from the size of the fabric) a few inches above my knees.
The pattern and pattern piece that will be used for the train. I will be making my own pattern for the train by using this piece (A skirt) to measure out one made of muslin. Then I'll use that to make it out of satin.
I will also be using Alice's dress to measure how long the train will be since the white train underneath the main train is shorter and does not drag on the ground. I think I may use some interface so the inner train is stiffer to help keep the outer train full.
I won't be working on the train until the skirt is finished so I can do all the measurements before I start making it just to be sure everything will fit together.
I will be starting on sewing the skirt tomorrow.
