*Dusts off Blogger*

| My poor craft room still hasn't quite recovered. |
Around all that, I managed to make a few costumes for various events. I'm just going to toss the photos below for you to enjoy!
 |
That's right, I did Pirate Mary Poppins, complete with a
mini carpet bag, and parrot umbrella peeking over my shoulder.
|
This vest is from Simplicity 4923. I altered it a little in the back to add a walking slit.
 |
| This is from Butterick pattern 5371. |
 |
This is Jane and Michael's letter in a bottle,
seeking The Perfect Nanny.
|
In March we went to AnomalyCon in Denver. I decided to do a Steampunk witch. I made the hat, the bat, and the spats.
 |
My transfiguration needs some work.
Posing with Calcifer the Toaster.

| I'll get around to taking an action photo. It's so hard to take pictures of your feet! |
I also decided to have some fun, and made up a 'Fairy Hunter' costume. The book I am carrying is "Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book."

In April we went to Florence, CO to their Steampunk and Wine Festival. It was a great event! It's a little hard to find information online, so I linked to their facebook page.

I made the jacket from an out of print Butterick 4926 pattern. I made view F, but used another collar. It actually fits really well, I just kept putting my arms and shoulders far back! The skirt is from Damsel in this Dress (link a little farther below.)
During the Florence festival we took a bus trip to The Royal Gorge Bridge and Park. That's right, I walked across the bridge in a Damsel in this Dress corset!
I made nothing. It was all assembly of accumulated pieces.
Also in April we did a mini vacation in Denver, and participated in the Doors Open event, in full costume with other Steampunkers. I just swapped my skirts out. I made the underskirt, the overskirt is a Damsel bustle.
In May we went to South Dakota with my in-laws. My mother-in-law is a historian and likes to do historically accurate reenactments, so we decided to dress all out for the 1880's train ride.
I'm getting a lot of mileage out of that jacket!
