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.

Rule Britannia!

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!

Commission

I during the week I got an email for a commission for two teapot bags by someone from New Zealand. So chuffed! :-) Wish me luck, hope she likes them when I am done.

Costumes development

 

 

This is my finished victorian bathing suit.

 In the week I have sewn the petal sleeves and the white banner around the bottom of the dress. Hope I get a good overall grade.
