His Majesty Bela's coronation garb is done. What a difficult project. The patterns just kept getting weirder and weirder. 100 inches for the waistband of his pants????...Really???? And it was so diffcult to get a real perspective of the pieces I was working on. Somewhat like sewing a tent. It's just so big that you can't really see how it drapes and falls because there wasn't anything to hang it from.
But after much trial and error I think I achieved something that he can wear. My only wish was that I could have had a fitting before turing it over. But it is finaly out the door and on it's way to Their Majesties castle. I added a couple of nifty details. Some hand carved chinese wooden beads became uber cool buttons and I placed a iron on apple patch over his heart on the inside of the Over Vest. Annas device is apples so I am hoping he will be charmed by the detail and not see the problems inherrent with the over all design.
Today I get to work on my own new gown for this weekend and finish up cutting out plastic patterns for Their Majesties as a parting gift. I also have several more of Bela and Anna's garb pieces I could finish up to give to them this weekend. Let's see how much of this I get accomplished before Friday.
