Costumes:
Cinderella (2015):
This is one I'm currently working on, in hopes of attending the movie in costume. Deadline of March 13!
Progress so far:
- Cinderella Pinterest Board
- Pattern for Dress - Simplicity 1728
- Bought the fabric for bodice, several layers of skirt
Rapunzel:
One of the main reasons I bought my embroidery machine, I really want to make an accurate version of Rapunzel's dress and learn some new techniques like corset construction, how to digitize files for embroidery, and how to make puff sleeves!
Progress so far:
- Rapunzel Dress Pinterest Board
- Pattern for Dress - Simplicity 2757 and McCall's 6420
- Embroidery sketches from threadmaiden and cosplay.com
- Bought the fabric for sleeves
- Found Spoonflower fabric for bodice and skirt
Commissions:
Captain Malcolm Reynolds:
I'm mainly aiming to make his famous brown coat, and can figure out the rest of the ensemble later.
Progress so far:
- Mal Costume Pinterest Board
- Trello Board for comparing affordable vs. accurate items
- Fabric for Coat - Faux Suede Tricot Dark Camel, $10/yd
- Pattern for Coat - Simplicity 2581
Personal Projects:
Avatar the Last Airbender Blanket:
Using the pattern from Kimby77, this is my new TV crochet project! Let's hope it takes less time than my Tardis one.
Zergling Plushie:
A gift for Jim, I'll be using a combination of the tutorials posted by Kimothy and Pizoobie, and making half a dozen out of purple plush, so Jim can throw them at people while shouting "Six-pool Rush!" (Apparently it's very funny if you know StarCraft II).
Goals for this year:
- Blog more (Maybe break up the tutorials into different parts? Jim says I tend toward mega-posts)
- Start etsy shop? (LivingByGrace? LivingGracefully? CraftingGracefully? The puns are never-ending!)
- Make Disney dresses for myself!
- Make Disney Prince/Villians Costume Tutorial post. (Resources are very few and far between. If you know some, link them in the comments!)
Do you have any suggestions, or late new year's resolutions about crafting? Let me know!
