Mary Poppins, Getting Closer!

I spent yesterday working on Ponette’s Mary Poppin’s outfit… started with the overcoat. I bought fleece and am using the back side as the “wool”. The pattern was not easy. I have to say I am quite proud of myself for figuring this one out, I’ve never made a coat before and it fits her perfectly! I also couldn’t find my button hole foot for the sewing machine so I made manual button holes, hehe.

Here she is trying the base layers on for size… this is pre-collar, buttons, sleeves.

After I finished the coat, I put everything on her that we have made so far…

I still have to paint the parrot head, dye the umbrella (and attach the parrot head), make a white shirt and make the red bowtie. Oh, and I have to get props for the shoot (background, cloud surface). Almost there, planning to shoot on Sunday!
