Mrs. Incredible


Mrs. Incredible/Elasticgirl/Helen Parr. She goes by many names. (Does she mention her maiden name in the first movie? I can't remember) But for this costume, we'll go with Mrs. Incredible.



I have always liked The Incredibles. I thought now was a perfect time to do a cosplay from this Disney/Pixar movie, with the sequel in theatres now. I won't spoil anything in the new movie, but I really love how Mrs. Incredible gets her day in the spotlight. Girl Power! lol.



The base red suit was bought on Amazon. Also the black dance bloomers and the gloves. There were just a few small details that needed to be changed. As seen in this reference photo, the suit needed a black high collar instead of the red collar. So, I just took my seam ripper and took it off.  I then used that fabric for a simple pattern. The red was replaced by a black collar made from a simple knit I had on hand. Next came the bloomers. I couldn't find any orange fabric in local stores, so I found a Tshirt at a thrift store and used that to trim the bloomers.

The Incredibles logo, I found on Etsy.

I simply sewed it on by hand, since I didn't buy the iron-on version. The boot covers were made from a Yaya Han pattern, McCalls7397. This pattern was pretty simple to follow.


And the mask is an Incredibles brand mask from Party Galaxy. I believe it is a child's mask. It was sadly a little too small. Haha. I'll have to make a new one for next time.


The wig is the Buttercup in Spanish Brown from Arda Wigs, cut and styled by me.  And some practice is clearly needed. Oh well.


The wind was pretty crazy on Sunday when we took these pictures, but I think we got some good shots. There were also plenty of me brushing the hair off of my face. Thank you Mom, for always being my photographer.

Bow-Tie Necklet

Are you, dear reader, in the mood for some winter accessories? Or, like me, are you already anxious for spring to arrive? The only good thing about winter is the cute accessories, I always say. I have a big canvas basket full of scarves, gloves, mittens, and hats. I have a black and also a purple peacoat. Plus my dramatic leopard print fleece cape, which I have previously discussed. Simply put, I don't like to be boring with my accessorizing. It is my only source of cheer and happiness when preparing for a cold winter's day. Ok, enough with the dramatics. On with the subject of today's blog. I knit this up several years ago. This is what the pattern calls a “Bow-Tie Necklet”. It is a scarf, but not in a traditional long rectangle shape. One end is pulled through a loop on the opposite side, forming a sort of bow tie. I have seen several examples in mid century photos of similar knit scarves that seem to have been made the same way. Of course, I forgot to save them/

Disney's The Little Mermaid - Ariel's Blue Dress

    Anyone who has spent more than 3 minutes with me knows I'm obsessed with Disney. My three favorite movies are Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, and Aladdin. So for Halloween 2011, I made a version of Ariel's blue dress. She wears during "Kiss the Girl" scene and when they are riding in the carriage around Eric's kingdom. . It was fairly easy to make. I used McCall's 4090 (View A), a simple skirt with a waistband. For the bodice/over corset, I used another McCall's, 4861 (view A). I didn't want side lacing, so I just traced each of the four pieces separately, then taped them together at the sides, overlapping the seam allowance. This left me with the back lacing only. When it was assembled, I roughly "eye-balled" the sweetheart-shaped neckline and cut it out. The shirt was made with Simplicity 3677. I just added cuffs to the sleeves instead of elastic. A couple things I lea

Reconstructing History RH017

This is review of RH017, 14th Century Kirtle or  Cotehardie. (Link to buy this patten at the end) I ordered it to make a new dress for the 2015 Medieval Fair of Norman. I had been playing a princess for many years, but decided on changing it up this year. I wanted to be a Bard, a poet/singer/general performer. Naturally, I could not wear the Princess gowns of years past.  It came in a timely fashion. I knew it had a booklet of historical notes, I didn't know it was going to come with a textbook! Seriously, this booklet is 15 pages long (including historical notes, bibliography, actual construction, and a section on period stiches) and is in an easy to digest format. The pattern is on regular paper, not the usual tissue paper, which I appreciated. I had trouble with setting the sleeves, but it was my own fault. I made it oversized purposefully to adjust down to my exact size, and didn't quite adjust the sleeves to match correctly the first time. My own fault. I will post
