It is the last day of November and life has been so busy that I have not made a new post since September! Halloween and Thanksgiving have come and gone, and Christmas seems very close. The biggest project that I finished recently was my Halloween costume. Two days before Halloween I decided I wanted a costume inspired by Rapunzel from the Disney film “Tangled”. Of course that meant last minute fabric shopping, sewing and splicing together three separate patterns! I was very happy with how it turned out even though I sewed it in a hurry.The bodice pattern uses three layers, boning and eyelets, and I used a sleeve from a different pattern. Making the fabric for the sleeves took awhile because I had to sew pink ribbon stripes to lilac satin fabric to get the right look.

Here is the finished costume:
