On the Sewing Table

 Currently I am sewing a "Cinderella" costume for Allison. We decided to update the costume for a more modern twist on the fairy tale.

 
We chose this McCall's pattern. It is one of Snow's outfits from ABC's Once Upon a Time.
 
 

 
But that is Snow White.  We are recreating Cinderella.  So we went to our fabric store and found this awesome Sari style fabric. We are doing White insets between the shoulder and upper arm and at the elbow.
 
 
She will need to get some boots and tights and a little blouse.  All easy things to find and it will complete the look. Can's wait to get it finished and see it all together.

Steampunk Jacket and Skirt

This is the lovely Allison in a Steampunk style  jacket and  skirt.  It is Simplicity pattern 2172. The fabric is crepe back satin in Eggplant. The first set of pictures show the color much more purple than it is in actuality. The cuffs and collar are organza. 












The color on the next three photos are truer to color.






The corset is from Corset Story

Thank you for taking a peek at my new blog and first Steampunk costume.
