I'm in a crafty mood lately. I've finished my 5th senior sorority blanket. I don't know if they need me to do more or not. I've finished the ones I originally picked up to do.
I'm now on to other things. I want to make my hat for the upcoming "High Tea" we're having in our Prayer Shawl Circle on May 1. I've never made a hat from scratch before.
I've got the shell cut out and the material purchased. I don't have any of the trim yet because I'm not sure how I want to finish it out.
Kaitlyn has a date party next weekend. The theme is "Panda-monium" (since their mascot is a Panda). Kaitlyn wants her costume to have an Amazon Woman theme. She is very creative and when she and I put our heads together, watch out! She came up with the idea of the snake, and she made the pattern herself cutting and pinning paper parts together. It fits around her body perfectly. We found some "snakelike" material and we'll sew it onto nude fabric and possibly stuff it a little to give it a dimensional effect.
I was thinking she needed some leaves so I found some patio cushion material and I'm cutting out the leaves to place on the fabric. The dress is strapless, elasticized at the top. The snake winds around her neck and will velcro to the top of the dress, in effect holding it up. I tentatively put some leaves on one of her boobs because the snake head will cover up the other one. This is a tentative lay-out. Nothing is sewed on yet. The dress is short and has slits on the sides. She has some brown booty shorts she can wear under it. Pretty cool, huh? Kaitlyn definitely takes after me and Nana and Granny when it comes to sewing. She knows what she wants and, like me, will make her own pattern when necessary. I think there's gonna be a lot of hand-sewing involved!
