The Never Ending Costume!

Well I am writing this after literally 5 hours of sewing, and it feels like I have hardly gotten anywhere.  I have been madly sewing ruffles all evening, but when I look at what was accomplished it doesn't look like much. 

I had the base of the skirt made from a few weeks ago, but my life has been so busy that I have done no work on it until the last couple of days.  The base of my skirt is huge, and I love it!  This is going to be a "Wicked" ballgown! 


I have posted pictures of what I have so far!  It looks great and I am so happy with it, but there is still so much to do.  I hope I can get it done.  I am starting to have doubts. 

Cutting out the skirt

The bare bones of my costume.  It took so much fabric just for this part!

Starting the ruffles.  This is proving to be a very time consuming project.

5 hours of work, doesn't look like I have accomplished much. 

I am hoping as I get higher up the skirt and it narrows that things get a lot faster!

Let me know what you think!

  1. Good job!

    It looks great so far. I'll bring you a starbucks while you're slaving away at it this weekend. Keep up the good work.

    Love,

    Your brother-in-law
