Sona Progress: Outer Light Blue Robe
Monday, June 02, 2014
I started making the outer light blue robe by drafting a pattern out of scrap paper.
I cut out the patterns and sewed! I made double of everything to make 2 layers since my fabric is thin and I also wanted to add interfacing in between to make it stiffer.
I initially added 1 layer of interfacing. After I finished the costume, I wish I had added more! Because I added a really thick wire to hold up my robe, it would have been sturdier if the light blue fabric had more interfacing.
I made the bell sleeves as 2 pieces with elastic band.
I started sewing the gold strips on all the edges. I sewed on one side. Later on, to close it, I will put in the wire, and then fold over it, sew the wire in place, and hand sew to close it.
I decided to add wire to give the illusion I am floating like the character Sona. The wire I got was really thick, which is a good and bad thing. It held up my costume really well and everything stayed in place. But if it wasn't so thick, I would have had an easier time transporting it, and it wouldn't be as hard to sew in. The light blue parts wouldn't look so floppy either. If i had added more interfacing it would have looked been better. It's a learning process :/
