I finished row two!!

So that means I'm on target for now, which is good. However, I have an audition mid-day tomorrow, and then I'm going to Disney Trivia night, which will likely mean very limited sewing time. And I have to put the waistband on Elsa so I can send that off on Friday. Luckily, the rest of Friday will be a sewing day, so maybe that will make up for tomorrow.

Oh, and I'm going as Rapunzel for the trivia night tomorrow, but the rest of my team is planning to wear ears. I can't fit the ears over my wig, so naturally, I decided to throw together some ears to match my costume!



They're made of the dyed brocade left over from the bodice, with leftover piping along the edge. I used a Mickey hat ear as my template for the shape/size. Inside is one layer of batting and one layer of buckram. I serged the bottom closed, and hid the serging underneath vintage ribbon bows on the front, and yellow flowers on the back. The tiny rosettes are actually functional - they're on wires, and help to stabilize the ears, which also have pin curl clips along the bottom of the ear. They seem to stand alright on the wig head, but hopefully they'll actually make it when I wear them for real tomorrow. Especially since I'm going to have to put them on once I get there, using my car window for a mirror!

Those ears are awesome! Perfect for Rapunzel.

Thanks! They seem like something Rapunzel would make, too. Maybe that's why I identify with her. ;)
