Hacker and Dodge Costumes

 

 

We were given a worked related small project to create costumes for the CBBC puppets Hacker and Dodge. I chose to make pirate outfit because everyone likes them. Ureh? I had to make these simple design and easy to attach on for example using velcro. I researched many images of pirate costumes that would be easy to construct and appealing to the audience.

I designed to that Dodge (top right) should be the crew member. I used a distessing technique by dipping white cotton in to tea dye to make it look worn and added brown leather to the outfit.

This Captain costume was made for Hacker (top left). I tried to make this very like a pirates costume with frills in the front, big cuffs, pleats in the side seams, golden buttons and shoulder pads for a pirate to rest on.

I did find i difficult but I am proud with the end result.

In Second Year's Exhibition my Tinker Bell Costume was displayed next to the stairs alongside the Peter Pan characters Hook, Tiger Lili and of course Peter. I felt honoured.

Diamond Jubliee Festival

Had a full day of fun out in the cold at Hartlepool, Marine quay with my fellow class mates from uni at the Diamond Jubliee Festival dressed in costumes also being in character (some of the time anyway).

 





'Fashion from the Past'

Went to visit the Belsay Musuem and watched catwalk based on the tudor 'fashion from the past' costumes made by Julia Soares- McCormick. Check out her website- http://www.tudortalkandcatwalk.com/
It was truly inspirational!

Tinkerbell costume

This is my Tinkerbell Costume I have been creating. I just need the petticoat and of course the wings to construct. Will also be decorating them.

These are the finished tea pot bags that someone in New Zealand requested. What do you think?

Diamond Jubilee Celebrations

I have been given my new project last week. It will be for the Diamond Jubilee to celebrate Her Majesty the Queen's 60 years on the throne.

The costumes will be set from the 1950's movies and TV programs, I was chosen to do tinkerbell. WOO HOO, my favourite character of all. I do believe in fairies I do!
