amethyst73I just got back from the Columbus Day Weekend sale at the local Jo-Ann's. I've acquired nearly everything needed for my costume now! The best part? *Everything* was either on sale or had a coupon applied to it.
Butterick pattern B4597, dress B (the green one in the picture; long sleeves and better neckline than the red one): Perpetual JoAnn sale for $5.99.
3 yards of very neat-looking plant/bark pattern cotton: 50% coupon applied.
2 spools thread that will go with the fabric well: On sale, 50% off.
0.5 yard fusible backing: Ditto.
3 ivy bunches: Ditto.
22" brown all-purpose zipper: 40% coupon applied.
The only things left to acquire that I know of are some seam binding (which I didn't get because it appears there are two varieties - single-facing and double-facing - and I don't know yet which the pattern requires) and some hook/eye fastenings (probably only one needed, and I bet I can get one from my sewing friends at work).
Oh yes. What am I going to be for Halloween this year?
A poplar tree! One of the organisms that the Genome Center is sequencing is the Black Poplar, and nobody's done that as a costume yet.
