DIY Costume - Half Man Half Woman part 2
Here are the three pieces that I'm working with.
I thought I'd start with the pants after looking at everything for about 20 minutes and second guessing myself.
Commence seam ripping!
Ten minutes later and I now have two halves.
I pinned the left leg to the dress at the waist.
I sat down at my sewing machine and took some deep breaths. Then stitched them together.
Voila!
Alright, now I'm on a roll! On to the shirt! I cut the shirt in half, leaving a little extra material on the left side for the seam allowance.
Here's where it gets dicey. I cut away the left top side of the dress so I can replace it with the left side of the man's shirt. Then, I realized that I should have done this step before attaching the pant leg. Commence seam ripping.
I pinned the backs of the shirt and dress together.
Then sewed them together and added the left leg of the pants back on.
I have quite a bit of finishing touches to do now. So, I'll be putting this on and figuring out what to do next.
Stay tuned.
