Medieval dress

Almost done and I'm so excited! My brother got me the material for my birthday and now my dress is almost wearable! I have wanted a medieval dress for a while now. It's nice to have it in reach. I still have work to do such as making the belt, pouch, dagger holder, wrist cuffs, and maybe working on shoes to wear with it....  not sure about the shoes yet. 

I know this isn't an authentic medieval outfit but I think if they had thought of it they would have made some that looked like this.

 I know! The pink doesn't go but I needed something to lace the back up with and that was what I had on hand!

 All the seams on the outside of the cape look like this. I like the way it looks!

BIRTHDAY DRESS!!!

I finished the dress just in time to wear it today for my birthday!!

Independence Day fascinator.

Okay, I see the theme these post are taking but I'm having so much fun making fascinators I just can't stop! I decided I needed one for tomorrow as it is Independence Day and I should look spiffy for that wonderful day. So I went to my sewing/crafting room and brain stormed. After I took some ibuprofen to ease the ache I came up with this! TA DA!!!!
It's supposed to look like fireworks or sparklers. I had gotten the white feathers on but there was a gap in the front that was just begging for something so jazz it up a little, a little pizzazz so I started looking through my accessories bins and came across this pretty pendant. I took the tassel off the end help it up and said 'perfect!' it was just what I was looking for. I then took little white beads and glued them on randomly to set it off just. I think this is my favorite fascinator! I love how it turned out and can hardly wait to wear it tomorrow!

            HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY EVERYONE!!!!!!!

New Fascinators.

I decided to try to make some new fascinators. I made one in 'steampunk' style and the other was inspired by Marie Antoinette.
I am sooo tempted to call this one 'Catching fire"  I know it's a rip off of the hunger games book but it just seem to fit this so well! Look at the red gem in the middle like the heart of a furnace and the orange-ish feather coming up like flames. And for the record that is a humming bird NOT a mocking jay.

 This is supposed to look like  a ship sailing on the water. I crumpled the blue satin and glued it in place to give it the moving water effect.....I didn't have a boat so I made it from felt. yeah..... -_-  I didn't have sails  either sooo....feathers. haha! She would probably laugh!

Here is the back view. I rather like the back. I had the starfish for years and years not knowing what to do with it so I'm happy to have finally found something to use it with. and of course what nautical hat is complete without a big bow?

 I hope you enjoyed seeing my craziness!
