Dressing Movie monsters pt 2: The Wolfman Coat

Good morning lovely people.


Oh the coat, oh the coat! So much to show and explain and still simple and classic. All I can say is that I'm glad the coat was not fitted in any way. Despite my efforts in proper fit, I felt I did give a bit in my quality control because it was a 'costume' garment. I mean, I get it. Not everything needs to be at real person wearable quality, but I have standards, dammit, and I'm gonna keep them as hight as I can.

Dressing Movie monsters pt 1: The Wolfman Coat

Hello lovely people.


This past weekend was a busy one as far as sewing. I got a rush job from the company I do sewing for, for a wool coat for a Wolfman statue. Cool! You all know how much I like a challenge. I do. Nothing makes me try harder than a difficult project and a deadline, but this project was a doozie.

Simplicity 3701, take three

Hello lovely people.


As I wait for fabric to arrive for another freelance project, I've dived in and made progress on my Simplicity dresses. Well, one of them anyway.

Dressing Movie Monsters

Hello lovely people. 


I hope your week is going well. Mine is a slow slog of writing, drawing and sewing. I'm at various stages of either so it all feels as if it's taking forever to finish anything, and that makes everything seem so far away. As I continue on, I realized I didn't show you all the images of the movie monster wardrobes I've been working on.

Okay...lets move onto blouses.

Hello lovely people.


I'm off my game. I don't know what it is, if its stress or not, but my sewing is not at my usual standards.
Damn dresses.
