Due to my husband's job basically holding him hostage, I wasn't able to get pictures of him in the finished piece right now. I'm actually very proud of how this one came out as I do not often do men's wear.

Finished the vest. Happy with the vest. Now I hate the color or the shirt so redoing it in black because I hate myself 🙄. After that getting started on the pants and jacket!

Welp. Eudantria Events played me and The Villains Ball has been cancelled 6 weeks out. I can at least get my money back from cancellations but I feel bad for people who've already bought flights and non refundable hotels. My husband has promised to take me to NoLa for Halloween instead so I'll still get use out of these costumes as well. Won't play me twice though so never again with THAT event company.

Woohoo it's coming!! Fabric Wholesale Direct is now my go-to and I'm just happy dancing! Ready to get these costumes rolling!

I'll admit, I hate the mundane parts of sewing. Copying the pattern from tissue to white paper then to fabric (still not comfortable drafting my own yet. Working on it), finishing work (hems are so BORING), and the endless cutting of all of it but I do it because I love the ending. In about 3 months I'll have a suit and cloak for my husband and a gown and cloak for myself. I'm also giving hat making another go with a top hat. If anyone has any haberdashery tips that'd be great.

*in the voice every artist knows* this is my final final draft. Mostly because I'm bored with this part 🤣

Final draft of our Villains Ball outfits. Now on to figuring out where the hell I'm getting fabric from since JoAnns closed.

(Excuse my terrible drawing skills. I'm a seamstress not a paper artist lol)

2 dresses made in a month for my daughter and her girlfriend. The camera isn't catching the absolutely georgeous sparkle on these dresses.
