What a bust!

This September my club is supposed to be bringing Arley Berryhill up to teach costuming. I am soooo looking forward to it! I can't sew a costume from scratch to save my life! For the class we have to have a body already sewn to use as a mannequin. So the Dragon Ladies decided to get a head start on it!

I'm really impressed with the body so far ... I mean, look at it, it's still completely unstuffed and she has breasts! It's a really cool pattern. We really had to pay attention to what we were doing though as it takes careful sewing. Lots of pinning too in my case - the pieces looked like a porcupine got hold of them! In four hours we got the pattern cut out, the body cut out and sewn, and we got most of the legs/feet done. Not too bad for a snowy afternoon!
