Zombie Costume - The Finale

Hi all!
I am pre-blogging this and have convinced the bf to take some pics of the dress before actually going away. Kind of like a dress rehearsal. So I have found everything excepy my flower circlet which I might have thrown away for an unknown reason. I didnt share too much of the zombie dress as you probably still remember it from last year's zombie walk, and I only made a new top and corset after all. But this is the result (without makeup and hair done):

Be careful not to approach the fairy zombie...

Be really careful...

Aaaarrrghhhh you approached me, I will eat your braaaiinnn!

LOL we sure had fun! I was way too tired to do the entire look, but I am extremely happy with this dress :) Now let's see what the rest of the people say today... More pics will follow with hair and makeup done!

    @David, I cant seem to get in touch with you via email. I bought the fabrics at the market. The white muslin underskirt is dyed with tea and brown theatre paint. The black skirt has streaks of white, brown, and red theatre paint on it, and the purple has the same but with red painted on thicker around the edges. I also glued leaves and twigs onto the purple skirt. The top is taffeta and organza which were both leftovers from previous costumes. I distressed them the same way as the skirt. Otherwise if you're in the UK, I can recommend www.joke.co.uk or www.carnivalstore.co.uk for complete costumes. Hope this helps!

Scissor Sock Tutorial

Image
Hi all! I've had so many request from friends for these scissor socks that I wanted to share the tutorial with you. I've been sick for a while so this tutorial is well over due. This will be my first sewing tutorial so I hope it's clear enough :) Feel free to make you own or for friends or family, but please don't use it for commercial purposes or make them to sell. It is after all not my pattern. So let's get started :) You need: 2 pieces of fabric with different print Interfacing (with ironing option on one side only) Cord Ribbon 1 button  Beads Cutting mat and ruler Rotary cutter and scissors Some sort of circular template (I use a small plate) Needle and thread Cut the fabric and the interfacing to a rectangle of 9x12.5 inches (23x32 cm). Decide which fabric you want where, this will influence the next step. Use your circular template to round one corner. The fabric you want on the top and bottom of your sock will have t...

Easter Prep Stage 3 - Happy Easter!

Image
Happy Easter everyone! I hope you're having a great day and no matter where you are you've had your fair share of Easter eggs whether real or chocolate. :) I was a bit late as usual so had a few last minute projects to complete last night... Lots of cool Easter projects though, let me show you:  I started this at last week's Craft Meet. Everyone around me was knitting and I felt a bit like a 5-year old with my paint chips cutting out eggs, but there was a need for it. I found a great idea on Pinterest and just had to try it. So I rushed to the DIY store and got a pile of paint chips... Taadaa, the Easter bunting! Isn't it the coolest! The original idea was found here (please link to the ORIGINAL POST when adding this to Pinterest if you want to pin this) , and I just love it! The paint chips I used were a little different from what the original post shows, and I thought it would be nice to have some diagonal eggs as well. THAT was not such a good id...

Fabulising February - Men's Shirt Dress

Image
Hi everyone! Fabulising February is nearly over and this is the last project I have managed to complete.Tomorrow I'll post a short recap showing all the finished projects. Wanting to go out with a bang, I tackled a men's shirt that the bf bought online many years ago and forgot to return it so I wanted to make something nice out of it. Seems a waste to be throwing away a brand new shirt! Granted, it was white and while probably cotton it was very thick and stiff material. So I dyed it purple. Of course. Once it was purple, I then had to try and do something with it. Easier said than done! I finally found a cute idea for a dress in blogland (didn't save the link though) and I really wanted to try that. But the instructions were super tricky so in the mending pile it went. This is the shirt. Much too large even for the bf but purple at least ;) And a bit wrinkled for being in the bag for a very long time. But with only a little time left in my Fabulising February ...
