It's been an obsessive weekend (I didn't even make it to a bookstore for Breaking Dawn Chapter 1!), but I don't regret the hours I spent hunched in front of my sewing machine. Look what came of it!! (It was interesting.. over the tunic's progression, it reminded me of Wonder Woman, cheerleaders, and McDonald's. I do wish I'd used deeper-colored fabric, but it still turned out really well.)
The original, again, for comparison:
My version:
The Pants are next at bat (or maybe the shirt that will be under the tunic), and waiting in the dugout are armbands, wrist/glove things, boots, shoulders, and exclamation headband. The glasses are being made and will get here soon - and all I have to do to them is paint the frames gold, so that's not a big deal.
Not too shabby, eh?? :D
PS~ How do you like the buttons on the back? They're really cool, but the stinking things cost me $1.50 apiece.. >_< Why are buttons so expensive?? I need twelve more (different) buttons for the strips on the pants. Anyone know a good place to get them besides Jo-Ann's?
