This is so epic I can't even begin to comprehend how you did it!

I've always wondered if a reversible dress (especially one with sleeves) was even possible. Now I know - if one has your epic seamstress skills, then it can be done. Fantastic work! ^_^

I have lots of underbed storage boxes, can I root through those as well as my drawers for craftster inspiration?

Okay, so I'm making a Reshiram gijinka in the form of a ballgown. For the non-gamers here, Reshiram is a feathery legendary dragon Pokemon from the 4th generation >>> http://pokemondb.net/pokedex/reshiram

I've got a design all ready to make a prototype dress, but there's one problem. I don't know how to get the 'feathery' effect without copping out and gluing feather boas to the skirt XD

Here is the effect I'm trying to emulate >>> http://www.buyselldress.co.uk/Sites/buyselldress_co_uk/Uploads/User/bridal-dress-b19b1b20032b1039bb5fa094f9bbd0b4.jpg

It looks like soft tulle cut and/or stitched in a certain way, but I can't really figure it out. Are there any experienced dressmakers who can point me in the right direction?

Any help would be awesome x

I've only just seen the music video for Cheryl Cole's "Parachute" (yes I know it came out ages ago, but it takes me ages to get into the 'popular' stuff because the radio stations rinse the chart stuff to death) and I am positively in LOVE with the dress she wore.



I'm all set to draft my pattern and add my own personal changes when I realise something - the dress has a rise and fall hem, and I have NO IDEA how to make one of those.

A search on Google proved fruitless, so I thought maybe you guys would be able to help.

Anyone have any idea how to make a rise and fall hem?

Can I use a piece of laminate wood flooring to create a solid base for my metal beetle feet?



I won't be having the holes, but I would like that unusual shape. Also, I will be gluing them to the sole of my trainers, what sort of glue would make sure it definitely sticks?

I love-love anime related crafts, and this helmet is fantastic! The lines are clean, the colours are accurate and the overall effect is amazing ^_^

Keep up the awesome work! xxx

This is Honey-senpai >>> http://www.absoluteanime.com/ouran_high_school_host_club/mitsukuni.htm

I cannot find a ready-made, full size (or any size) plush of this character so I want to make a soft doll of him myself. In the profile it says he is 4ft 9", although I am planning to make him 4ft even. I have 3 years of sewing experience, mostly making costumes, but don't know how to go about making an anime doll.

I have perused many blogs and tutorials, and have gotten some ideas, but since I am making him quite big I thought I would ask around here if anyone has made large soft dolls before, and if they can give me any advice/helpful tips.

Any help would be greatly appreciated xxx

It's a beautiful dress and it suits you to a T! Where can I get that pattern and sewing skill? ^_^

Loved the film and I love the cake even more! Love the wings too, not the easiest part of the cake I imagine, but it looks (and I bet it tasted) fantastic! Great job xxx

Thank you for your advice x
