One pattern down

Since when has Halloween become about showing skin? Good grief. We went out to a few stores today I swear the hem lines on female costumes has gotten shorter. Nasty. I want a ghost sheet costume. Is that so much to ask for? Sorry I don't want to show off my boob to little kids as I give out candy.

Alright. I'm done ranting.

I love Halloween don't get me wrong. The season is wonderful. Hot apple cider, pumpkins, costumes, spices and fires in the fireplace. I love it. I think we'll just be sheet ghosts this year. So we can save all the money we can for our up-coming cosplay projects.

We bought one pattern today as they were out of the main one we need for Abel's cassock. Nor did they have the cape or top pattern I wanted for Seth. We did the pattern that I'll be using for Seth's fluffy underskirt.

The white skirt is shown as being "bubbled" and gathered. It has a shine to it, so I'll be using satin. which is a great fabric to use for something that has lots of folds as it moves and folds very good.

The skirt will have a lace train that will not be as long as the train on the dress. It will mainly cover the inside of the long train. This will also be satin with lace trim.

This pattern Simplicity 2072 will be used for the skirt. I will be using E for the skirt. I may use the jacket C for the top as well. The sleeves will have a bell shape at the bottom inside of a line.

I will be making the skirt slightly longer so I can add more fluff inside of it. I will be using tulle inside to make it fluff outwards. I am so HAPPY I found this pattern as I was confussed about how to make the skirt. I would much rather modify a pattern than make one up by scratch. This will make my life so much easier.

I won't be making Seth's outfit until after Abel's cape and cassock is finished. After the outfits are finished we'll start on the smaller details and props.




Can't wait! I'll keep the blog updated whenever we start. It won't be much longer before I start sewing.
