    I am currently (when I am done with all the orders for masks) making costumes for the now postponed Tolkien themed Medieval Fare. I have made the Smaug wings and tail for my son and am working on the mask. I have made the hobbit outfit for my other son and am brainstorming hobbit feet. And for myself I have made a trial corset for my elf ranger (although elves are not overweight, a but of a conundrum there). I want to make ears too and then my dad still needs his Gandalf outfit. He is working on the beard himself4vy7sdva9m0j.jpg

    Uhm... impressive! Sewing corsets is no joke! Takes a lot of work just to produce one!

    I like the color choices and construction! Good work! <3

    Thank you 😊

    It was definitely a labor of love. But I think I am hooked. I already have the material and notions for the next one and the following one's pattern is in the drafting stage

    Might have to get you to teach me your method or ask what resources you're using to make yours. I have had less than stellar luck putting them together in the past and just resorted to buying really well made ones from other artisans.

    I actually can't remember my sources. I do know that I use the welted seam. I don't think I would be precise enough to use anything else. And for boning I actually just used zip ties. Shhh

    Wait... that actually works!!?? Holy hell, finding actual boning is already a pain. I might have to try that at some point!
