    I made a dragon inspired by Italian Renaissance costuming and medieval tapestries for the end of Maryland RenFaire's season, and I finished the whole thing in three days! It was definitely a bit of a time crunch to get everything done but it all worked out and I was able to use up some of my stash fabric. There are definitely some things I would do a little differently if I'd had more time, but I'm happy with how it turned out! I had a lot of fun wearing this costume for Day of Wrong at MDRF, and always have fun dressing up with friends 😊

    I know you've been experimenting with different kinds of videos for a long while, but I'm glad to have a sewing video back in the mix. The way you film these is just so soothing.

    i love the mix of no talking sewing asmr and explaining what you're going to be doing, it really feels like we're keeping each other company in the sewing room especially as i watch while crocheting :D beautiful costume and video both!

  • @lyssar10
    @lyssar10 5 месяцев назад +8

    The dress turned out amazing! The wings are indeed adorable. I think the lopsided-ness makes you seem like a sweet, approachable Renaissance dragon as opposed to a terrifying creature of yore. Lol thanks for the lovely video. 💖

    @catherineleslie-faye4302 5 месяцев назад +1

    Lovely dress. You might consider adding some red cotton or rayon lining fabric to the sides of your forepart to make it into a half underskirt... so if your tacking stitches come out again you end up showing what any renaissance princess would show.

    i love following along with whatever interests you. your editing/filming really shines through with how much you enjoy what you're doing. even though i originally started following you for cosplay and sewing, it turns out that i just really like watching you create things and share your experiences.
    (also watching you adjust/stroke the gathers on the skirt as you attached them was oddly very satisfying LOL love seeing another person who fusses w dense gathers like that)
