Finally working on something!!!!

Okay kids...it's been a while. What can I say...sometimes my projects take a backseat to life. I don't mind. I did do a few things that either didn't photograph well (the framed map on my dining room wall) and a few other things that I just didn't document (hanging the curtains in my bedroom to create more closet space).

Well, now I'm onto a really important project. My Halloween costume. The crew is doing a superhero theme. It's not easy to find a female super hero costume that isn't...what shall we say...very revealing. I've settled on Miss America...super heroine from the 40s. See picture below.

Here's my progress. The dress is sewn, although not hemmed yet. The cape is finished on the edges, but I still need to tack it in. The belt is not made, but I will be doing that this weekend. The emblems and hair piece are not done, but that will be shortly. I'm getting close! Pictures to follow when I'm done!
