This year’s costumes were quite a challenge to complete!
The kiddo finally decided on from two weeks ago, so it was a scramble to get fabric, find patterns and make it all, while working a part time job and finishing three client costumes at the same time.
Every year I have one ♥️RED costume, this year it was our very own Chicago Southside Pope! (Inspo pic at the end) This was my first XXL costume and he said he never had a costume fit him so well and be the quality I made it! Those little apostles took me about 3-4 hours each to attach the corded gems. Thomas and Paul if you must know. 😉
I had even made a snap in white priest collar for the jr priest costume!
Then I shipped off another custom costume to my cousin in Colorado!
I also made a wolf head and hunter’s shirt for a sweet puppy doggo too! Dogs are hard to sew for when you can’t do a fitting properly, so the hood fit real well but unfortunately the shirt was a bit small around his chest 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ I’m hoping she’ll send it back so I can make those adjustments for the future. I really don’t like putting sub par quality work out there. I thrive on making my clients happy and I want what I make to fit them well and comfortably. I never expect custom stuff to only be worn once. 😉
I threw in some of my pumpkins from the part time jobbo this month so you could see what they looked like all lit up!
A super great year for work.
Today I did absolutely nothing.
Tomorrow, back to the grind for .camp projects and finally finishing the remodel on my bedroom! 🤪🤦🏼♀️
If you’re looking for Xmas gifts, please DM me with your ideas. And remember, I don’t only sew, I also paint(canvas and murals), am an illustrator/portrait artist, am a photographer(my actual degrees) and I knit, embroider and crochet too! I would love to help you create your dream item from a local artist!
Let’s all make pointed efforts this holiday to support the small guys and gals this year. Corporations have enough money.
