Fallout Vault 101's costume complete

Legend of Korra costume : Korra's top

I decided to go ahead and make the costume, whether I wear it a Comic Con is another matter. I didn't want to use Lycra and have it look like a bodysuit, so I went with a twill type fabric with some stretch. It's much thicker than Lycra so it will have some structure and will be able to hold my fat in. This top was definitely a pain in the butt to make. I had to adjust and re-adjust over 30 times. I nearly gave up. I started with the Kwik Sew pattern 2943. This was definitely the wrong pattern to use. The sleeveless turtleneck is very boxy and very loose. Even when I used the S size (and I'm usually closer to a L in everday tops) it was HUGE and very non flattering. I had to add darts, reshape the waist, take in the shoulders, reshape the turtleneck and change the shape of the armholes. What a PAIN!! After 3 days I'm finally done and quite happy with the final product. The 2nd version is definitely much better than my first one.

I've seen other places offering similar classes for double the price - perhaps they include fancy terrarium jars with exotic plants ? Kelly These things are more addictive than I thought, I can see myself making one for everyone I know. They are quick to assemble, cute to have around especially if you work at some drabby office and they are super easy to take care of. Step 1: Pick a glass jar - they could be with or without lids, and the best place to look for them are thrift or goodwill stores (unless you want fancy expensive ones spe...
