More of Marion

I have some more pictures of my Marion costume I made a few months ago. I wore it for Halloween yesterday but I still haven't finished the embroidery for two reasons. 1. I haven't felt like doing embroidery since I finished what I have. 2. my fabric pen is out of ink and I haven't had a chance to buy a new one.

Anyways, here's the pictures.






 I bough these shoes from Famous Footwear this summer when they were on clearance. They look fantastic but they're a pain to wear!


I want to thank Janey from Atomic Redhead for sharing her embroidery pattern with me. Thank you so much!

And last but not least, me using my frying pan to block the rain.

Anna from Frozen

I've fallen in love with the costumes from Disney's next movie, Frozen. After seeing the newest trailer for the movie yesterday I decided I have to make Anna's snow dress! Actually, I'd like to make both of her's and Elsa's dresses eventually.


Here's some pictures of her costume. When I do make this costume, I won't be looking forward to the embroidery. I think I need to get an embroidery machine.





I'll be doing research for a while before I actually make the costume, and I want to see the movie first so I can see how the dress moves and can get an idea of what sort of fabric to use. So I guess the earliest I'll be getting started is the end of November.
