Henry's gown mock up
Last night I worked on the mock up of the gown my stuffed bear Henry is going to wear for Costume Con. I am using the pattern in the Tudor Talior scaled way down. The first mock up was a bit long so I cut 3 inches off the bottom. Now I think it might be a wee bit short. So I might had about half an inch back. Today I will hopefully work on the sleeve mock ups and then take pics and put them on my site. I will put the link on here when I do.
The plan is to also cut out the pattern pieces for the steam punk apron. Or at least the skirt pieces. I will probably have to do a mock up of the bodice part to get that just right. I need to wash the wool first though. Anyone have any special advice for washing wool. I keep having visions of it shrinking away to nothing.
