Halloweeny


This year I decided to make my own costume which is nothing new, last year I made my own costume although it was very last minute and not too elaborate.

I just made a skirt with an long lace tail and applied an applique on it and made a scarf. Once I put on my mask, I was transformed into a peacock!

This year I am being a green pixie fairy girl inspired by tinkerbell. I am working on the last minute details tonight and am very excited to finish and wear it out. I used the tutorial from ThreadBanger to make the wings, I would recommend it, it is very easy to do!

As for now, I must get back to work but I will post some pictures of the finished costume soon.

Happy Halloween!

My Introduction

This is my first post into the blogosphere. I really love sewing and have since I was in middle school. I intend to use this as a way of publishing my crafts and what I am currently working on.

For those who don't know me, I'm a 21 year-old student at Philadelphia University. I live in Philly during the week and am in New York City on weekends. I graduate in May of 2010 with a Bachelors degree in Fashion Industry Management.
