Ok so I was already working on my Steampunk but with Halloween coming I knew I would be sewing for the kids. What I din't expect was what I would be getting myself into. My Daughter wanted to be Cleopatra, my Son Godzilla and then a friend at work was trying to find a Strawberry Shortcake outfit for her niece. She was looking for the original outfit not the new design. So of course I offered to sew it. I mean how hard could a red dress and apron be compared to Elizabethan dresses. What I forgot was the accessories. Cleo's jewels and crown. Godzilla's pointy scales and big tail that had to glow. And for Strawberry Shortcake let's not forget the Hat. Sudden panic attack. I'm a seamstress not a Hatter.
I have now had to add Hatter( in very basic terms) , jeweler and special effects to my new crafting skills.
Insert long agonizing scream here.
I have 3 days left to complete these projects. Humm yep. Right now I have 3 PHD's ( projects half done).
I just finishes the Hat. All I can say is thank goodness for my Singer Heavy duty machine that I bought.
I will Post images and let everyone know how it went by Halloween. I know by doing these projects my skills will get better but just like with anything new it's frustrating geting it done.
I so need a spa visit after Halloween.
