Entering the Foundations Revealed competition has been a dream of mine for a while, this year I was finally able to achieve it! Here’s my journey of making my wide skirted swing coat based on the character of Death from The Sandman comics.

Sewing a Pleated Minnie Mouse DisneyBound Skirt
Very soon I will be heading to DisneyLand in Tokyo for the very first time! I’m excited about this trip, so to put that excitement into something usable I’ve been planning and making outfits. The first one was a mermaid skirt to wear to DisneySea, but this time I’m making a red skirt with white spots to DisneyBound as Minnie Mouse herself. This project was planned in the “winging it” style, and meanders along the kind of path you would expect for a project with minimal planning. But I finished it in the end, and this is a fun skirt to wear!

Creating a Little Mermaid Skirt
Dineybounding is heaps of fun! I’ve done it a few times and it always makes me feel a little special. Later this year I will be going to DisneySea for the very first time, so wanted something exciting to wear. And what better character to Disneybound as than the original ocean princess; Ariel. Plus I’ve wanted an excuse for a long time to use the gorgeous mermaid fabric, which is perfect for The Little Mermaid!

Ms. Marvel’s Scarf
Ms Marvel’s scarf is an excellent accessory that I managed to make based off a snap decision whilst fabric shopping. It serves as not only a scarf, but a cape as well and I’m very much enamored by it, even if it’s creation process left a little to be desired…
Nerdvember Challenge 2017 – Week Three
Have passed the halfway point in my Nerdvember challenge and I’m still having heaps of fun! I’m very much enjoying having conversations with people about accessories and clothing as well as the show or book they come from or are inspired by. It has been an absolute highlight of Nerdvember so far for colleagues and friends to greet me with something along the lines of “so what are you wearing today?”
Nerdvember Challenge 2017 – Week Two
Second week of my Nerdvember fashion challenge to bring something a little nerdy into my clothing every day for the whole of November. I’m having a lot of fun re-discovering nerdy things I’d burred in boxes and forgotten about!

Cardigan: Avengers Style
Wearing my fandom is a thing I thoroughly enjoy. Making things is also a thing I enjoy. So when I can combine the two, even better!
