Something About Nothing

My "baby" loves Cosplay (costume play) and attending Comic Con.  For this year's con she decided on three costumes and despite OUR plan of letting her create them all by herself. . . I TOOK OVER.   CONFESSION:  I have a lot more patience teaching sewing to strangers then I do to my own children.  Does anyone else have a difficult time teaching their children to sew?  Poor girl has had to learn at school.   Anyway, her first brilliant idea occurred when we discovered this fabulous Batman fabric at a great price. She purchased it with the idea in mind of turning it into a corset. She cut out the pattern after we measured her, but the pattern looked small to me (foreshadowing of trouble here when I rely upon my own sense of size perception), so I told her to cut it a little bigger.  The pieces sat for a long while because we needed some good interfacing and we kept forgetting to buy it when we went out.  Finally I picked up the interfacing...

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again: I'm attempting another reverse appliqué piece. No products to keep the edges from fraying this time. Wish me luck! In the meantime, I've also been helping my daughters get ready for school and more importantly Comic Con. haha  My daughter Ann loves Cosplay and so I am making a Batman corset for her. . . . . .as well as doing a lot of alterations to this dress that is almost perfect for her biggest Cosplay, and I wish I could remember what the character is! I'll blog more about them once I am done so if you don't hear from me for awhile you know why.  In the meantime tell me what you are up to!
