Happy Halloween! From Snow White, a Fairy & Pocahontas.

Skirt & dresses all made & designed by me. (It was a very busy week of sewing.)

These sleeves are actually becoming the most challenging part of the whole outfit. Might have to take liberties & make them more like water wings. Silly me didn’t make the top suitable for sleeves to attach. Like I said, it’s all an experiment & this is just a quick sketch:

“Quick Snow White sketch to get my mind wrapped around the sewing process. Gotta love travel train downtime.”

I have to say my costume is coming along just as well as planned. I never know since I don’t use a pattern & most times I’m short on the stock pile of fabric I have. I’ll be working on sleeves tonight. This is definitely a good personal CUExperiment challenge for me.

One day I will make this for Halloween! (I mean the dress of course.)

It’s been a busy week trying to fit costuming into an already busy schedule. Multiple dresses to sew in red, green & white fabric. Lots of white fabric. 

Hopefully I’ll be able/allowed to post some final costume updates when they’re all finished too.
