Update on Flame Handmaiden

After moving we had some problems with the internet, so here are some updates shots of the Flame Handmaiden... Obviously they aren't dyed yet but I have figured out the outer sleeves and drafted a pretty good pattern for them.

Started the Flame Handmaiden today. Such an awesome project! 

Halloween at the Layton House

My kids, my Muses...

My Daughter dressed as Mother Gothel from her FAVORITE movie Tangled. I LOVE Halloween!

For all of you Lord of the Rings fans out there. My Son dressed up as Aragorn from Fellowship. Looks Great!

Finally Done! Red Invasion Gown is Finished

Here are the pics of the Red Invasion Gown

The dress is a little long for my dress form and actually sits nicely on the ground.

Are there any "Princess and the Frog Fans" out there?

Lets set aside Tangled for a moment and appreciate another great Disney animated work of art. Princess and the Frog. I received and email form a woman who's son wanted dress as Prince Naveen on their trip to DisneyLand.

Won't he look so princely! 

New Rapunzel Pictures

I finally took updated pictures of my Interpretation of Rapunzel (Tangled Style). It shows the modesty panel and the embroidery all the way around.

Where did Flynn go?

I keep on getting emails about "where are the pictures of the finished Flynn Rider costume?"

I have no idea where they went!

Finished Flynn

Finished Flynn vest...
And satchel.

Flynn's Jacket... Almost done!

I lined the jacket with a super lightweight quilt batting and super soft brown garment lining. Then sewed over thr chalk lines I mapped out using the pictures I have as a guide.

Now for the rivets and clasps

I purchased "jean rivets" for the studs on the shoulder/sleeves. I also decided on "Istanbul Clasps" for the front of the vest.

So far so good?

Here are pics of unfinished Flynn Vest front and back.

Flynn's Vest

So I cut the vest pieces and cut additional pieces for the top front and back yoke.
Now I am using taylor's chalk to mark where I will stitch for the top stitching on the yoke and the bodice part.

Look-eee What I found!

Ok, its not exactly like Flynns vest, but with a bit of tweaking, its pretty darn close! Yay!

Ok, Back to business! Flynn Rider

I have started posting the making of Flynn on Flynn's Page! Check it out!

Look at this dye job!

Ohhhh! I am very proud of this dye job. It is for the lake gown. Hope you enjoy Meghan! :)
