    Default I am making snow fairy costumes!

    and though they are gonna be a surprise for our audience, I did not think any of you would tell!

    all I have finished so far is one of the corsets, so here is the first corset!

    I will! I am making them for a january dr. sketchy! I think I have a fatal attraction to the hot glue gun though! making that pin for the front was too much fun!

    It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice.

    If you're putting fur on a stretchy garment and have a hot glue gun, put the garment on over an old, thick t shirt/leggins and glue gun the fur on. As its already stretched to fit, the fur will be fine

    No prob - I did the same thing when making a Christmas costume! My bf thought of it actually (Tee hee good thing he won't find out im telling people! He's fab at costumes!), if you feel the heat of the glue gun through the clothing, you can always put a sheet of newspaper between the layers

    ah yes! I measured the ladies and corsets would be of the variety that have absolutely no stretch at all! they will have to lace up the back to adjust the corsets! the boning is in there but it is hidden because I applied it to the lining so all you see in the front is the snow flake pattern! If it were something that stretched, I would stretch the material as I went and use a knit stitch like a scallop for the edging so that it would have give to it for the wearer!

    Hi honey
    it looks great just checking which Dr Sketchy are you doing this for? As I was planning on doing my new fairy act for Birmingham Dr Sketchy. I have other acts I can do so no worries if it is.
    Hugs
