Photo Shoot: Princess Anna

I bought a cheap red wig from Value Village's Halloween section, and made it in to Princess Anna's hair. Of course then I had to have a photo shoot.

 Fake freckles with stage make up. 

 I feel like this shoot would have been cooler if there had been snow on the ground.
Oh well, I guess I have to come back ;)

The wig didn't fit me quite right, so I had to keep tugging it into place. But all in all it was very entertaining to have red hair :P

Princess Anna Skirt Decals

I painted the decals on my Anna skirt today. I'm rather pleased with the result.
As it turns out acrylic paint thinned with vinegar works well as fabric paint. To make it stick you must iron it once it's dry.  I used these as stencils.

The colours stand out better if you use white, and then go over it in colour.

Supplies,

knife, cutting board, stencil, acrylic paint, paint brush, and vinegar (:

 Finished!

Three hours of work.

A closer look at the paint....

An unfinished sewing project

I ran out of things I can do to this project five days after I started it. And since I have nothing else that needs doing, I thought 'where's the harm in blog posting?' My sewing project is.....

A princess Anna outfit!

I sewed the bodice from a pattern I made from a t-shirt, and the skirt is from scratch. I can't decide if I'm going to use iron-on transfers or fabric paint for the flower design on the skirt...
I know that the blouse isn't the right colour, I just threw on my only blue button-up shirt for effect. I'm hoping to find a blouse that is close to the right colour at Value Village this summer.
I tried to make the bodice a sweet-heart neckline, but as you can see that really did not work out well....

 I got a crash-course in embroidery; it looks OK doesn't it?

You would think I would be able to find gold edging for the bodice, but apparently not. Mom and I went into every shop on mainstreet that might possibly have it. But all I came up with was yellow ribbon. As much as I love it, I can't get it to lay flat once it's sewn on to the bodice.

The question now is what am I going to do with three meters of yellow ribbon?
