I had to stop work on the Frodo coat for a few more days : ( But, I did finish a Harry Potter/ Hermione robe. It's awesome! I'll post pictures tomorrow!

Woohoo! I absolutely love the miniature Jack Sparrow Costume! I made this in a child size 6-8. It is so cute with the weskit, shirt, sash and bandana with beads : ) That was too much fun to make.


Thanks for all the questions about the Frodo coat! I will resume work on the Frodo coat tomorrow : )

Well, to be completely honest, I didn't even touch the Frodo coat this week. I've gotten many requests for child size costumes. So, I spent a few days drafting the Strider jerkin + red shirt and Jack Sparrow weskit + shirt in children's sizes. It was so much fun and the outfits are adorable. I'll post pictures tomorrow : 0 )

Here are pictures of the front and back of the Frodo Travel Coat. I'll be working on the collar and velvet facing later today and tomorrow : )

I worked on the Frodo Coat today and it's going very well. I have half of it assembled. Sorry I didn't get pictures : ( I'll be sure to take pictures tomorrow and construct the other half!

Yay! I got the Frodo Coat cut out!! I absolutely love this fabric. I should be able to start piecing it together tomorrow. I'll be sure to post pictures.

I've been sewing a lot of weskits lately : ) Thanks!!

I worked on my Frodo Coat today. I'm very happy with the pattern. I should be able to cut the wool and start construction this week : )

I'm still here folks! I haven't blogged in a few days, sorry. I'm still getting caught up on all my orders! I might have to close down my ebay store for awhile : )

I'm getting caught up on all my custom orders! I've also been working on the Frodo waistcoat. I had to re draft some of the pattern pieces. In the meantime, here's a real cool photo to look at!

Thanks, Jeff, for the most excellent photo.

Wow! I've been absolutely swamped with custom orders! I'm completely booked until September. I'll still be working special projects for the blog, though. I've decided to recreate another Frodo coat : ) I have the muslin ready to stitch and I should be able to post pics soon!
