singerrrrrr

Fed up with having to drive to school or stay behind after class, I've finally just sucked it up and bought a sewing machine. I now have 2 cute little toddler-sized Hobbit cloaks:

One for my kid, and one for his BFF.

And I've finished the underdress, overskirt and bodice to my own costume. I'm thinking of making an apron, too, since I already have the fabric for it and now have an easier way to make it at home!

And all I have left is my mission of figuring out how to curl and keep curled my hair for all day Saturday. The question it whether or not it'll be freakishly windy (although I'm gonna say YES since this is stupid Oklahoma.)

But I didn't finish it all until about half an hour ago, and I'm going to wait until better light to take pictures. Goodnight!

Well, I've been trying to upload pictures of the Hobbit Project on here since the last post, but for some reason that day's pictures are refusing to show up in the upload box. So we'll just try links from FB.

I said it was Simplicity but I goofed. It's McCall's 4090, view A (top left) and also look at my awesome Gingher scissors!


View of the overskirt with supplies and our textbook. Look, even the inside seams are serged!

This is the pattern cut out on top of the dress fabric. This dress will go under the bodice and overskirt. Then there will be an apron on the very top!


Found a creepy way to attach fake hair to my feet. Will post pics of experiments. Time to put a grumpster down for a nap.
