First of all, I would like to say that lycra is definitely not my friend. And that is fine, since I don’t want to wear it all the time. Now on with the costume.
I started to do the top and the gloves today. As I mentioned before, even if Halloween might be a good excuse to go pantless, the leotard is just too much to handle for me. So I decided to make the top longer, tunic style and wear it with leggings.
I also had a sword and all and the facepaint. Fun!
Who is Psylocke? Only the awesomest mutant ever to be an X-men…
Psylocke originally possessed the power of telepathy, she could read and project thoughts over long distances;[99] control minds; subdue and tap into other’s powers; affect people’s memories;[100] project mental illusions;[101] project psychic waves (psywaves); and generate psi-bolts that could stun,[102] injure,[103] or kill others.[104] She could also project her astral self, and the astral bodies of other people, into the astral plane.[105] She could scan entire towns with her mind,[106] and leaf through the psyches of the inhabitants of a city to learn of their condition[107] or intentions.[108] She could also probe individuals to check up on their status.[109]
So I am going to try and make that costume. Any raised eyebrows?
So you (and I) will need:
to be continued:)
I never made a “grown-up shirt”. Not one with buttons, long sleeves, or all the basic details a shirt has. So I decided to give it a try.
I am working with this pattern from Burda (5.08) and using cotton and for now – it’s not that bad.
So here’s a peek of the work in progress. (Feel free to point out he mistakes, you win points:)
The buttonholes and buttons should be hidden, but I have a funny feeling about it. We’ll see.
Actually I have a feeling this will be a wear-under-sweater shirt, but if it leads to me mastering this pattern it’s still ok.
So I mixed half a cup of sugar, half a cup of oil and 2 eggs until creamy. Then added a cup of finely grated carrots and almost a cup of raisins. I’d now say that almonds or nuts might work well with the flavors.
I am trying something new, playing with the wallet idea. I used some scraps I had for this project.
This seemed fantastic on paper, but the open pocket is not very safe there. Maybe two more buttons.
Maybe just another zipper.
I have recently changed nests. Best time to see exactly how much junk stuff you own. Best time to be outraged and start throwing out things.
Among the things I wanted (and couldn’t) throw away was this pair of jeans I really like – but rarely wear. I’ve decided to do something with them. And began “the research”.
I really like these. Not your ordinary patchwork/ painting stuff.
These are cool too. If you’re a superhero…
This is not exactly what I was looking for, but so cool, so I had to share the mini bag made from recycled jeans.
I am, I have to admit it. It’s not my number one passion and I am just learning how to do it properly. But it looks so fun when others do it:)
I will probably take me years to get at the level of willynillywaterlily (isn’t she great?) but we all have to start somewhere:)
First step: buy cotton and love it. Check! 
I made a flickr gallery for the fabulous dolls I found there. Take a look.
See ya:)
I am still learning to sew for dolls (it seemed way easier back when I was 10:). It’s really fun though.
