This Devil Wears Converse

That pizza charm was a lovely idea, hun.

It was also painted really well. I wish I had glaze skills like yours. xD

Thank you!
The idea of it actually has a personal meaning to us so that is how I came up with it. ^-^

I just used something called Triple Thick Gloss Glaze by DecoArt, it works really well!

The Civil War gown is GORGEOUS! (I'll bet the corset took a while to make, too!).
However, I do believe my favorite (so far, anyway) HAS to be the Piece of Cake charm - it's wonderful!

Thank you!
I do not remember exactly how long that it took me on the corset.
It was pretty easy to make, though!

I never made that into a necklace, I really should do that soon.

I am so slow at some things....

Did you use vintage patterns for the Civil War items?
I've also seen some pattern books (one was for theatrical costumes) that explain how to make your own patterns ... I do create some of my own patterns, using an end roll of newsprint that I have.

For the ball gown I cheated and used a costume pattern, which is really not a good idea because it is not accurate to the time period but I did alter the pattern that I used to better suit a reproduction dress.

For the corset I did use a pattern, from Simplicity.

The drawers and petticoat were drafted using period techniques from a book that I have.

The green day dress (Which I just posted. sweatdrop ) was from a period pattern that I altered a bit to fit my body.

I really do not use patterns that often because I do not understand them that well, I normally make my own. Almost all of the other clothing posted here I made my own patterns for.
