Witchy-ness

I churned out another Halloween costume.  This piece is for my friend, and was meant to be evocative of Elphaba from "Wicked".  It isn't any great innovation in terms of pattern or design (it is straight off a Simplicity Pattern), but there are some fun tweaks to it.  For example, the buttons are all mis-matched.

I managed to overcome my fear of gathering with this project, which is notable because while I am forced to gather for my lovely three-tiered skirts, I really hate it a lot.  Pintrest now owns my soul, I believe, as it gave me a snazzy tutorial on making gathering easier.  It totally worked.  Check it out here.
