I'm renting some boots, which are just that: plain brown cowboy boots. Speaking of which, I don't know how people walk in those things! The shirt? Well, I had the perfect shirt all sorted... or so I thought! The seamstress didn't get all the alterations done, which I only just found out (after not hearing from her for three days), so I don't think I'll have time to have the rest of it finished. I destroyed a $120.00 shirt for absolutely no reason. :unsure I won't be wearing a hat, but I just got the "Clint" cut. The beard is coming in, too.
The vest, which I was dreading having to make, is finished! I had absolutely no sewing experience, but it still turned out pretty well. I used two sheepskins, which I stole from my dog (since he eats them, instead of sleeping on them), to make it. And, dare I say it, the vest is more accurate than
any you can buy. :angel
I cut the poncho to the right length/width (for me, that is), after a lot of trial and error. The fabric is
way too heavy, so I can't throw it over my shoulder without it looking wrong... never mind, though. As a test, I masked up some of the scrap fabric, then sprayed it with paint, which worked. Perfectly. I got REALLY clean lines! It'll take some time to get the design laid out on the poncho, but the actual painting won't take long.
Here's the little lady's outfit:
She sent it to my phone, so it's tiny. She's not finished yet -- the fishnets, garter belt and makeup are missing -- but it's getting close.
Thanks for advice!
