Eeeekkkk!!!! I LOVE Halloween.
But I'm a bit sad because I'm not starting a new project for this challenge. I'm in the middle of conquering some costume requests.
So I only have process pics to contribute this week.
You see I am firmly in that spot where you start trying to figure out why it worked in your head because your hands don't seem to be able to comply.
I am making a Jake costume & a Skully costume from Jake and the Neverland Pirates.
First, finding the correct colors has been a trick on it's own.
It has always happened that when I need cobalt colored pants, they don't exist. At least not until the next month when I am bombarded with them everywhere I go.
Secondly, the Skully costume is proving to be a challenge that continues to send me back to the drawing board repeatedly.
For instance: when I placed the feathers I cut, I realized that the chest feathers really ought to be smaller.
So I tried four different kinds (the orange feathers are the test feathers) and got back to cutting.
No matter what, I have to make these costumes work. I'll just pretend Tim Gunn is standing over my shoulder.
