I had a very productive weekend. I finished my daughter's Halloween costume today also. All I have to do is add the zipper. I'm waiting till we go to have pictures taken before I add it. My luck I'd put it in and in the next 4 weeks she'd go through some crazy growth spurt.
I used Simplicity pattern 4024 and used the Glenda the Good Witch pattern. There is no pattern in a toddler size for Queen of Hearts so I just made it up. The hardest part was figuring out the cutaway opening that shows the black and yellow stripes. Piecing this together was also time consuming. It's actually sewn into the side seems, so it's not really a skirt on top of another skirt. I also made a black tulle skirt for underneath that fills out the skirt.
Cant's wait for Halloween.
That turned out spectacularly!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see that I'm not the only seamstress in town who is going over the top and back down the other side for Halloween.
Any tips on how you did end up doing the cutaway opening? I'm thinking of dressing my daughter as the Queen of Hearts this year. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's just two panels sewn over the striped skirt into the bodice.
ReplyDeleteThank you. :)
ReplyDeleteHi, your queen of hearts costume is super cute. I know it's early but I am planning on making a queen of hearts costume for my baby. Can you please tell me where you found the yellow and black stripped fabric?
ReplyDeleteI had to sew black and yellow strips together. Kind of a pain but it turned out good. Good luck.
