and before you say anything no not for me! So as some of you know my wife made my SkullBiker costume soft parts, so yup she isn't too bad with a needle and thread, Coming up next Thursday for her school is book day therefore she has took it upon herself to make Snow White the taditional look from back in the day, great costume, very iconic to the little ones. She managed to find a pattern from Abakhan today, though the staff did say it might of been hard finding as only the other day Diney were not allowing costumes to be done without their consent, Copyrighting and that, now it has been lifted no issues. This costume is on a small time frame so Tina will have her work cut out, Tonight she managed to get through cutting out all pieces readt for laying out and cutting the materials, She will be using red/blue/yellow satins feels nice and lightweight and has a nice sheen finish to it. she bought the necessary bits and pieces for it. Not sure on shoes for this though, i suppose it won't matter as the dress is to the floor. I will show you how it turns out, she's quite camera shy so i'll have to sneak a pic or two.

Excellent Colin, we would love to see this when its done and as for that business with Disney, they can't copyright a shop bought pattern as they are never the same as Disney and the copyright belongs to the designer of the pattern which you cannot replicate as a paper pattern and sell on as your own, but you can make and sell as many of the costumes as you like, but you cannot call it a Disney costume. You can make a dress and call it Snow White's dress and still be able to sell it. Does that make sense!!

That's what i said Tracy, but afraid she'll only be wearing it for book day, then she just put them in her wardrobe. Costume is finished with the red cape. I'll get a pic Thursday, if she lets me,lol.

I wish she would come to events and be a member Tracy, her heart is in the making of costume like you and your mom, she does have the talents to creating great pieces, probably to the extent of the intricate pieces you and your mom make, even to the like of making my Skull biker costume, the passion is there when she has the time, it's just a shame she won't put it in to the showing it off to the public.

What we need to do is send her all the encouragement all the members can muster to get Tina out there trooping.
So I will get the ball rolling - Tina, we need you on our troops, your sewing skills and talent should not go to waste - power to the girls

A couple of snap shots of the finished costume Tina took a whole 4 and a half hours to put it together. Tina didn't want to have the collar up as it would of been awkward for her hair. World Book Day saw Rebecca as a bunny from the book "Fluffy"

Now that is just cute, rabbits rule I was thinking about Tina yesterday and hoping that she had a good day. Book Day has come a long way since it started when Tracy was at school. Just a few minor tweaks on that dress needed and it could be out there, hint hint.
