TJP - Update - Collar

Hello all!
I am proud to say the first piece of my Jemima costume is finished.  The collar!  It's a found belt with metal spikes screwed into it.  Easy to make but non the less I'm still really proud of it.  I am currently working on the legwarmers and am about to buy some crepe wool for the wig.  It's been so long since I've made a Cats costume, it brings me back to when I was 14. haha.  


More updates as they come!

The Jemima Project

So it look as if I'm back in the Cats costuming world after, what, 7 years?
I have been planning a Jemima costume for almost a year now, but due to moving more times then I had planned, the project never got started.
So today, August 1st, I am officially starting this costume.
If I can get it done by October then I'll be happy.
Now, a few notes about the project:
>I am creating every part of the costume myself.  No commissioning.  This way I get to experience the process and find out what I'm good at, what I'm great at, and what I should probably commission from other people in the future.
>I am documenting the entire process via video.  I'll post the episodes on my youtube channel here.  Please subscribe, thumbs up, and favorite! It means so much to me!
>This is a "project" so there is the chance I will fail. (aka not getting it done for Halloween or screwing up so badly I wind up losing lots of money)  I will be using theCCDB as my main source of guidance and help, so thank you in advance, CCDB members, for all of your contributions.
