How I made an 1898 Walking skirt MODERN!

First, chop off a ton of length!
Second, add pockets!
Third, widen that waist band!
Fourth, stick on a hem band with hem tape instead of hand sewing it down!
Fifth, add a button back closure!
Sixth, add some belt loops!
Seventh, pair it with plaid! Because plaid is awesome.

🦖I FINISHED THE DINOSAUR SKIRT!🦕 16 hand embroidered dinosaurs are marching around the hem of my hand sewn 1950s style safari skirt. Please enjoy my indulgence in Jurassic Park, I couldn't help it. 😂

My first BIG cosplay for myself was actually this

My first BIG cosplay for myself was actually this Art Deco Snow White based on a figurine from a Disney collection by Enesco. I feel in love the moment I saw it and knew I had to make it.

Each marquis-shaped applique is hand beaded. There are 324 chiffon appliques on the skirt that create the fans. The cape is made of sequin straps descending into velvet. The shoes were hand painted and then a patina of gold glitter was added for shine. And of course, what Snow White cosplay is complete without an apple? The purse is hand-drafted and sewn.

The cosplay took over 150 hours to complete. Swipe for the cape view!

Got myself a fancy (but inexpensive!) Pair of embroidery scissors. The larger handle will accommodate my man hands a little better as I snip through delicate and intricate items.

Four down, twelve to go! The dinosaurs 🦕 on my

Four down, twelve to go! The dinosaurs 🦕 on my Ms. Frizzle-style safari skirt are coming along nicely. What you see are: Apatosaurous, Pterosaur, Mosasaurus, and Dilophosaurus. As a reminder, all 16 dinosaurs 🦖 are different species!

The plasticy stuff you see is actually water soluble stabilizer. To embroider the dinos, I traced printed dinosaur graphics onto this stabilizer, sprayed the back with quilting adhesive, and stuck them on where I wanted. They don't move around and the hold stands up to the stresses of an embroidery hoop.

All are done in 3 sizes of pearl cotton embroidery thread. If ya swipe, you'll see them close up.

ZELDA UPDATE! Finished the sleeves and have attached them. Now I can finally show how I'm doing the chains! (We all remember that this is a Pre-Raphaelite version, yes?)

Now to do the belt and cape!

ZELDA PROGRESS!! The bolero is about 30% of the way there. I still have to do the sleeves and the back lacing panels, but she's finally starting to look like Zelda!
