More Rei

So, hello!
I have been working on my Rei jumper (that's what I'm going to call it) for a while now and it's now just about done. There a few things I need to tweak but here is a picture anyway and I'm sorry I cut off my head but it really looked like my hair was going to eat my face off and I didn't think that you all needed to see that. And I didn't feel like taking another picture because I was feeling rather lazy. And that's why I didn't mind that this picture made me look kinda chunky either. Well, whatever. Ain't nothing can be done about it now.

Also, sorry about the Yoshi shirt, I just haven't even begun to think about the white shirt underneath her jumper yet. When I get the wig that I have ordered, I will show you that and the shoes that I bought and other stuff like that too.
Here is a link to the wig I ordered:

"So, how did you make this MadDog?"
Oh, well, I'm so glad you asked! Here's how:

Step One
I took two gigantic pieces of blue fabric that went up to my diaphragm and below my knees. I could wrap each of them around my body about one-and-a-half-times. I sewed those together into a giant tube.
Step Two
Put on a good album (in this case it was American Idiot by Green Day) so that I don't go completely mental if I am not in fact there already.
Step Three
I pinned the zipper into my giant tube and sewed that into the side. I know you can't see it in this picture but later this week I'll take some better shots for you.
Step Four
I pinned and sewed the pleats into my skirt.
Step Five
I made two 13'' by 34'' rectangles which I then sewed the long way into two long and thin tubes.
Step Six
I hemmed the bottom of the skirt while watching a movie.
Step Seven
I attached these to my skirt and sewed facing all along the inside of the top. (I haven't tacked that down yet so that's why I look kinda chunky. Sorry.)
Future Steps
I will have to make the belt and buttons for the uniform and I will have to come up with a white shirt somewhere.
Steps That-I-For-Some-Reason-Did-Not-Mention
There was a lot of ironing all over the place--in between steps and in the middle of steps--just to make it easier to be working with the pleats.

If you have any questions, just ask. Bye bye!
