A Fairy Is Born…
Or bribed. DD was not happy about me interupting her Sesame Street to have this put on. I had to give in and promise a sucker to her. I had completed this outfit last week, but just today uploaded the photos to photobucket. I love, no wait, adore this costume. So pretty. The pictures do not do it justice.
Here’s the front, or almost side. I used bridal satin for the overcoat and under dress.
And the back now. BTW, I didn’t make the wings. Too much trouble in my book.
Here’s the outfit without the wings in the way.
This costume was fairly easy to create. I didn’t find sewing the satin difficult. I love the trim at the bottom of the overcoat.
I don’t know why but lately things here are a bit off. You ever have times like that? Seems like you can’t get anything done and it’s so frustrating since you work all day. I am a SAHM, so I rarely sit down. And even when working all day it still looks terrible in my house. Oh and the laundry. How is there so much of it? I think it mates at night.
In exciting news… I am finally going to have a sewing area. It’s not ready for the pictures yet. But it’s coming along. Dh and I have decided that while I would like to have a sewing room in the basement, it’s not possible at this time. Our basement is unfinished and there are no plugs or lights (well there are, but not enough). So I am moving all my sewing and craft stuff up to our den. It’s a 10.5′ x 10.5′ room. I can’t wait.

Lovely fairy!
Congratulations on the sewing area! The lack of space in my house is the main reason I don’t do the sewing I would love to do :0)
What a beautiful costume and fairy. I’m sure she will get lots of play out of it.
