Punkafied Emma - Jekyll and Hyde

Here are the pictures for my Punked Emma 

Final Project for School

Hello Everyone,

It has been far to long since I late posted. I have been fervently working away on my final project for school and next Wednesday I am going to present it to the class. The assignment was to choose a musical and PUNKAFIE it. We then had to choose 4 characters from the show and make them different types of punk, and then from that we had to realize 1 of the sketches on a 1/2 scale model. I chose "Jekyll and Hyde" and my punk genres are Victorian Goth(Emma), Steampunk(Jekyll), Vampire Goth(Hyde), and Raver Punk(Lucy). On the 1/2 scale I am creating Emma's Engagement Dress and I will hopefully have pictures up soon. Until then have a good evening.

Hit a few bumps...

Progress on the dress has not been going very good... I have been working on it almost everyday, but a couple of problems have arose >.<

The main problem I am having is the decorative triangular hip points that don't want to sit properly when attached to the bodice. I have changed the pattern slightly and have re-cut it so hopefully it will work this time (and if it doesn't I have to buy more fabric).

I hope to have progress pictures up by the weekend, so until then have a wonderful week.

ps: Happy Leap Year ^_^

I just found out that Titanic is going to be rereleased in 3D this April and so a couple of friends and I are going to recreate costumes from the film...

the Swim Dress ^_^

I found a a web page that goes into quite a lot of detail on how to actually make the dress right down to how to Ombre it.

I will be making a Corset for this dress as well, and lucky for me

"Bridges on the Body" is hosting a sew-a-long for an 1911 under-bust corset

Quilting...

Here is a look at what I have been doing these past couple days

Here is the outer shell of my corset.

Instead of using boning, I decided to "quilt" my corset.

Halfway through quilting the front

Almost done quilting :)

With Halloween just around the corner, and tons of sewing left to do.

I leave you with a short Good bye :)

I hope Everyone has a Great day.
