One of my friends is a manager at the Animal Welfare League in Port Charlotte, FL. They are having a Fairy Tale Endings fundraiser tonight, so I had my daughter send her the Cinderella costume I made for her last year. Shipping was an odyssey, as those of you who are friends on my personal page know, but it made it - with less than 4 hours to spare!

It’s ALMOST recognizable as a garment! That yoke is only basted in, because there’s a b***d lining that has to be attached before the final seam. So obviously the seam hasn’t been trimmed or pressed, so it looks a little uneven

Despite a valiant defense by the sequins, I managed to attach sleeves to yoke. Oof. We’re all exhausted.

I started working on Elsa again today - made the bodice yoke and one of the sleeves, which does NOT sound like a lot of work for a 3 1/2 hour shift. But Whoo Bo, is this fabric labor intensive! (I wonder how you say laborious in Arendellese?). But JUST LOOK AT IT!

My scissors and sewing machine will probably never forgive me, and I'm pretty sure my vacuum wants to have a word.

Look what I found in our hospice resale shop!!!!

The other day my daughter sent me a message that said "you gotta make a Madame X dress at some point" and now I can't stop thinking about it.

'Cause you know, there's nothing illogical about making a black velvet formal evening gown in the era of no social gatherings 🙄

Ok, what do you all think? Will this shape work for Elsa? I wanted to make the front a little fuller than in the film, f...

Ok, what do you all think? Will this shape work for Elsa? I wanted to make the front a little fuller than in the film, for ease of walking (and fitting). Is it too full?

The back should be fine, as there are several scenes in which the back of her dress billows out like this. I just want to make sure that the front isn’t so full that it’s unrecognizable.

The P.O. just deducted several years from my life. I mailed a package to Amanda's P.O. box last week with both the Anna and Ann Boleyn costumes in it, and according to the online tracking, it was delivered to a package locker on Monday. She went yesterday to pick it up, and there was NOTHING in her P.O. box. No note, nothing. I spent the night fretting that the package was lost, and I'd gone to all that work and expense for nothing.

She went back today, and there was a key to a locker in her P.O. box. It took them 5 days to put a key in her box!
