Making the T'shirts was lots of fun. Here is my chapter art( 16 A Very Frosty Christmas HBP)

I'm bringing this thread back to life.
What is everyone doing for Halloween this year?! It's not a very big holiday down here in Aus, but we're hoping to have a party. I'll try to stay away from my robes

I've been thinking that the time may be perfect for me to go out as Rita Skeeter. She's a nasty piece of work, I know, but something about me just
 her!

Well done! That's such a great costume! You might need to explain it to Muggles out there (I know I had to with my Molly costume last year!), but it looks very good!

You could also say you're a witch trying to dress as a Muggle!!! Those wizards never know how to dress in proper Muggle attire!

I'm double posting, but as it's now to discuss my own Halloween costume, I figured it was OK!
This year I'm going as a Ravenclaw student! It should be obvious enough for my work colleagues to recognize it! Last year I went dressed as Molly (thanks to the fantastic Molly sweater Dragonsinger's made me!), but given I work with Muggles, no one was able to tell me who I was until I took out my Molly picture to show them.  Well, one person managed to, after hints and about 5 minutes of guessing! So this year, I decided it was best to go back to basics and get my Ravenclaw gear out! I had made my costume for Lumos back in 2006, but I had made numerous mistakes (like sewing the hood on the cloak wrong and making my vest ribbing too tight so I had trouble pulling my head through!). I therfore took everything out and started correcting mistakes. First, I redid the ribbing on the neckline of my vest. I picked up a few extra stitches just to make sure my head would fit through this tiem. I also sewed the armhole ribbing seam, which I hadn't done at all for some reason back in 2006... My vest being done, I proceeded to my robes. First I ripped off my hood and redid it. That's actually what I did yesterday evening. Tonight, I'll sew the last two inside panels, and I'll add a wand pocket so I can slip my wand inside my robes. Then, if all goes well, I plan on trying to make myself a PoA skirt. I'm a terrible seamstress, but that doesn't seem too too hard to make, so as long as I mark everything and follow the directions carefully (which I should be able to do, with all the pictures!), I should be OK. I did notice that I'm missing some things to make it though, so I'll probably need to drop by my fabric store first! I'll post pictures once I'm done! -------------------- |
