Time for Santa Con!

Ok, so it's not a Santa Costume but who wouldn't want a crazy person in a bell bottom onesie offering up candy canes?

Here's what I envisioned:

And the pattern I drafted:

After a couple hours on the industrial machine (I used upholstery fabric):

Full pictures with bell bottoms onesies to come!

Beetlejuices, beetlejuices, beetlejuices

During the Halloween season I became obsessed with Tim Burton.  His art, his movies, and come to find out there was a Tim Burton exhibit going on in LA that I missed!  Anyway, in the spirit of Tim Burton, I decided on Beetlejuice as our costumes this year.  Sterling, the real beetlejuice and I got to be his side kick that apparently got edited out of the film.  Course, after making Batman and Robin I only left myself with 1 day to make both costumes.  Luckily I had the idea a month before and already had the fabric on hand.  The fabric is awning  canvas.  Not the most supple material but I think it turned out great!

It's SHOW TIME!

 The makeup was done using latex skin, and deconstructed wig, and airbrush makeup.

Time to update the blog with some projects I've been working on recently.  Let's start with a client who wanted  Batman and Robin costumes for Halloween.  Here's the concept we started with:

Notice Robin's nice princes seam jacket; this is what I went for when drafting the jacket as you can see from the pattern:

And here is the final product:

Batman was made from white compression tights and shirt that were dyed with black color to get this steal grey look.  It's hard to see the details but the gloves had bands and snaps, the jacket zips up the front, both capes are complete with collars just like the cartoon, and batman's gloves have bat wings.  Also, they are wearing leather "utility" belts (batman's has a yellow bat emblem).  Robin was also wearing green dock martin's that I kept from high school.  How perfect!
