As you wish...

Sorry that I've been so scarce, but I'm madly busy making a last minute costume for my cousin's last minute 40th birthday party! (The birthday isn't last minute - just the party. *g*)
With three weeks notice, he decided that he was having a fancy dress party with an 80s theme - could be the general fashions of the decade or something from a movie or TV or music.
So... Mr B & I are going as The Dread Pirate Roberts & Princess Buttercup! \o/
I got a lovely pattern for a medieval gown & some red fabric & am currently sewing my fingers to the bone! -  & then I just need to make Mr B's mask, bandana, etc.

Bud has, as usual, been invaluable...

Checking twice & cutting once!






Guarding fabric that might inconceivably float away! *g


Until it was all too much & he had to take a nap! ♥


I'll post some pics when the dress is done.
Happy Friday, everyone!
*hugs*

I've really enjoyed making it - this is my first real attempt at dressmaking & it's been such a great learning experience. Plus, Bud has been super helpful - as you can imagine! *g*

Sewing is a lot of work!!! I look forward to the pictures.

Buddy looks like a great assistant.

LOL I couldn't have done it without him!
The dress is done & I'll post pics asap. :)

What a wonderful idea - can't wait to see the finished article!

My, that bed looks comfy!!

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

It's done! \0/ I'll post some pics later.

Heh - Bud has four beds (not counting the one at his Nan's). That's his day bed for snoozing in the lounge... *g*

Thank goodness for Buddy! You'd never get anything done without his assistance. ;) Do post pics of the dress when you can - I know I'd love to see it.

Thanks so much. :)

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

I couldn't have done it without Bud's valuable assistance, but the dress is done!
I'll post some pics later. :)

Awwww. Buddy is such a good supervisor!

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

I don't know how I'd do anything without him... ;)

[timespirt.livejournal.com]

Buddy looks like he wants to help...LOL Can't wait to see the costume.

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Bud is such a diligent helper - always having to snuffle his nose into things & lie on fabric, etc... ;)

[lijahlover.livejournal.com]

Happy Friday and cute pictures :)

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :)

[elikiros]

I can't wait to see your creations... and Bud! he's always so helpful.. btw, the last picture is perfect, you just want to hug and pet him, he's just so precious. <333

The dress is done - as is Mr B's DPR costume! The party's tonight - I'll post some pics later.

Hee! Bud has been super helpful - checking everything & generally being gorgeous & adorable & always ready for kisses. ♥

I love The Princess Bride. So want to see your outfits. You are so clever!

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

We watched it again last night - just to get into character... ;) It's one of my favourites!
The party is tonight - I'll post some pics of the outfits. :)

Yay! You'll make a fantastic Buttercup & DPR! Bud should go as Inigo Montoya (he'd need a wee sword).

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Heh - Bud would be so cute as Inigo (although he probably ought to be the DPR as he's already the man/dog in black! *g*)

[laura-iskra.livejournal.com]

yay for the 80's!!

your helper is really lovely :p

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Hee - I couldn't do it without him. ♥

[elflady-2001.livejournal.com]

Costumes are fun. At least Buddy isn't lying all over the fabric like my cat does. LOL!

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Oh, he was doing that, too... ;)
