Black Swan Costume Update

Definitely making some progress on my Black Swan Halloween Costume.  I've got all the pieces of the tutu ready to be sewn to the basque, but my sewing machine decided to quit working.  Can't wait to get to the fun part--decorating!

Will post pics soon!

Saturday Trip to Hobby Lobby

My roommate is going out of town this weekend, so I've got to keep myself occupied all weekend. I'm going to get a few canvases and paint some things for my room. I need more equipment from home and from my parents in order to work on my Black Swan tutu and my dining room chairs. I would bake a cake this weekend, but I'd probably eat the whole thing by myself. I have zero self control.

Here are a few adorable pictures of baby animals. I'm feeling really maternal lately.

Tutu Bodice Fitting for Black Swan Costume

I visited this website called Tutu Today. It instructs how to make the bodice, basque, and tutu for a tutu costume.  Here's the website http://tututoday.com/how-to-make-a-tutu-intro/bodice-pattern/.  To make a custom-fit bodice, I needed to duct tape myself over a t-shirt and then cut it down the back. Here are some pictures of the experience.  Oh yeah, thanks Heather for the help.

Just a little inspiration for my next project.

Wonder what it could be....

Getting a head start on the Halloween preparations. Will post pictures along the way.
