Superheroes

Yesterday while playing around on Pinterest, I came across this adorable pattern for superhero capes.  I believe I see a few of these in my future, as I have a friend with an adorable 3 year old little boy who is madly in love with superheroes. 



Search around on Vanilla Joy's blog while you're there...she has some really cute patterns and ideas.

Happy Sewing,

Mary

Pictures

I posted some pictures of costumes I have created in the past.  My absolute favorite is my Anne Boleyn costume that I made in 2011.  I am very bummed that it's a little too snug for me now, even with the corset to cinch my waist in.  I guess that's what turning 30 does to you....it moves things around.  Ha!  Anyway, it's still my favorite and I squeeze into it when I can.  I have a few more costumes to photograph and upload so I'll work on that some more tonight.  For now, enjoy these.

More to come

Hello web,

Now that I've got my first post up, I will soon begin to add some pictures of other costumes I have worked on in the past, and those I am currently working on.

More to come soon!

Inspiration!

It has struck, and I am happy.  I was surfing around on the web today, checking out new and upcoming movies and I happened across this:

Oz the Great and Powerful by Disney.  Just take a look at the costumes, how fun and original.  They look nothing like the original Wizard of Oz costumes and I think they're fabulous.  I can't wait to start sewing....I haven't decided for sure which I will create but I think I'm leaning towards Theodora, I really like her coat. 

Of course, I could always go with the old standard...the wicked witch.

Let me know what you think!
