The Making of the Mococo Playsuit

These were a few photos I took during the making of the Playsuit! It was all guess work, so it took a lot of, measuring, putting it on, tapering it, getting it off, sewing it, putting it on etc etc.
To my surprise the chest piece was harder compared to the shorts, but then again, I wanted it tailored to my curves so that was the tricky bit, and the zip!!
There are few bits on it which aren't quite right but hey, that's to learn for next time! :) Overall I'm really pleased with the result!

|Mococo| Playsuit

It has taken me forever to make this Playsuit, as I didn't go by templates and made it all up. However, I now have templates for shorts which will fit me perfectly.

Have no dime? Grab yourself a curtain and make yourself some clothes!
I got this Rococo styled curtain months ago and put it to good use!

Inspired by my earlier Rococo work, I give you:

Work in Progress - Sweeney Todd Set

For the Set of Sweeney Todd back in March, the budget was awful...£50 for a whole set (?!)...So I spent most of the months I was meant to be designing, actually trying to find a set. I was pleased with the designs I managed to pull out of the bag in the end, but it wasn't how I wanted it. I have been working on the design I actually wanted below:
(It still needs adding to, colouring, lighting and more costume designs)

Coco|A|Carté


I have been exploring my jewellery box again and wanted to make head bands for festivals. I got some splendid green feathers and other bits and bobs, and put this together!
If your at all interested in purchasing one, I'd love to hear from you. Each one will be unique and £5 each plus postage!
The dangling feather also unclips so this ensemblé becomes two different items, a necklace and a headband. Bit cheeky.
