Safari Progress! (Patreon)

Hello hello hello!

Before diving into taking pics of Safari- Chan I wanted to share some process pics.

Safari-Chan has fairly simple design but I wanted to make it look super nice! 

I started making my wig by using basic white wig which I then dip dyed gray on the ends. I wanted to add some dimension so it's not just white plain wig. After that I trimmed the whole thing and glued the leftovers back to the wig so nothing is wasted! I decided to give her little curls to give some volume to her look. I think it turned out pretty cute. 

Sorry for the way my wig stand looks like. She has seen some wigs during these years.

After finishing my wig it was time to tackle the dress! I made pattern by wrapping myself in cling wrap and then covering half of my torso in duct tape. This is the best way to get fitting patterns. Then I just traced the pattern on paper and modified it.  When cutting fabric I always like to leave enough excess for adjustments. 

Not gonna lie, I was little bit nervous about making her dress but I think it turned out great.

Her little brooch is just printed Safari logo glued on cardboard and the edge is white worbla. 

OH and I also painted real apple white because it was the cheapest alternative during corona times. I didn't have to leave the house and I'm not even sure if they sell fake apples anywhere in Finland. Our craft stores are kinda plain at times. 

This costume took me around two days to make! 

Stay tuned for more Safari and Isabelle!  :3
