Yes I actually made these costumes this year...G2 is wearing her Jasmine costume (of Disney Princess fame) and despite all the swearing I did in sewing with satin fabric it turned out ok, gosh that stuff pulls and frays a lot--one day I might experiment more with it--I used Simplicity 3626 costume pattern...it was fun to make, very easy and looks cute on her even though she had to wear a shirt underneath since it was chilly out. It did have an organza layer or it was supposed to and we dropped that because it was too much and did not look like the REAL Jasmine. I LOVED making that lamp, you can't tell but it is a candy bag and turned out pretty sturdy (Hey Cathead yes I made a bag lol)I used a fleece scrap instead of batting (I hate batting) and it worked so much better and made the stitches stand out more
G1 is wearing what is supposed to be Silver from the Sonic the Hedgehog video games
yes yes I know Silver is actually white but hey she fell in love with the shiny fabric and who am I to say no to fabric love.... she told me what she wanted and chose the fabric the rest is history. I used the Zuma pants from Studio Tantrum and just winged the rest of it (my favorite way to sew and create)....and I am STILL finding silver hairs all over the place from her hairy chest lol lol lol I mean vest. The floppy hair/hat thing was so cute on her but it did not stand up like it should, I stuffed the things with fiberfill and it was light enough to not make her want to take it off all evening....and the gloves well those were a last minute experiment using some sweater material from HipStitch and she likes them but I have to do some more experimenting to keep the edges from fraying too much.
