Mrs. Claus
.: take your pick :.
Or Mrs. Claus, since it was around Christmas, and with the addition of the mob cap, we decided that Hannah looks like Mrs. Claus. Ah, what else? Oh, this was a "I'm done with finals early and I'm not going home for a while - I'm bored and I need something to sew" project. Yes, I love those. Besides, Donna made the Sharpie/UR/Holiday Dinner an optional costumed event. So, I made Hannah (and Holly's Purple DW Dress) during 2 or 3 days, same pattern, look at Holly's if you like this one.
At the moment, I can only find these few pictures, which don't give a lot of detail. So, until I can get Hannah in this again, these pics will hae to do. Oh, there is also a muff that she made to go along with this, and we made a cloak after Christmas break. But, no pics of those either. We'll have to work on that ;)
Pattern was Simplicity ... oK I can't find it online, and I'm not digging through. Ahh, nevermind all that, I found it. And it was Simplicity, they just don't have their patterns very organized. Anyway, it's S. 4900.
Details
Jacket:
Followed the pattern for the most part, except that we altered the neck line so it was a V instead of that closed neck sillyness. It closes with 1 wooden button. Dont remember anything else, aside that the skirt/peplum was sort of tricky to attach on, cause the fabric was plaid, and I wanted most stripes to match up. There are a few things that I wished I thought through more (lining things & such) but I guess I shouldn't do things like this at odd times in the morning. Oh, and there is lovely fuzzy gray trim all around the Jacket. Hannah has good ideas :)
Shirt:
Followed directions for the most part, although I didn't have time to make a slit with button holes, so I just made sure that the hole would fit over her head. If I remeber correctly, the sleeves have cloth ties.
Skirt:
Didn't follow directions, just sewed cut panels of hannah's Waist to Floor measurement. Pleated them onto a waist band, and then I sewed in some hook/eyes and snaps (or something along those lines) to hold it all in place. I vaguely remember talking about adding that same gray trim a 3 or 4 or 5 inches from the bottom of her skirt, but, we never got around to it.
Well I dont know what other details/comments I have to make, so, I guess my work here is done. Until, of course, we get Hannah in her get-up anytime soon. ;)
