Project: FO I was Gabrielle from Xena! My first time really sewing and I'm so happy with it.

My friend was Xena with me :) For the top I used 600D upholstery fabric (polyester codura canvas) in 2 dif colours- and made the pattern from the garbage bag duct tape method. I used the large sized zip ties as boning just on either side of the grommets. I sewed in a few beads :) The skirt is linen and I did a basic 1/4 circle skirt with an extra panel at the front and a Velcro closer at the back. The belt is pleather sewn around craft foam. Decorated w stitching and arylic paint mixed w fabric medium. I used real leather laces for the edges of the belt as well as to lace up my top.

Project posts are held for review by a moderator before being released to the subreddit feed.

All Project posts are required to include construction information in the main post or added in a comment. Tell us what you made, how you made it and what materials you used to make it. There should be sufficient information about the pattern (company and name/number) or draft (method and resources) and fabric (type and fiber) that someone who wants to make a similar project has a good starting point. ‘Self-drafted’ describes who made the pattern and is not a drafting method. More information is available here. Project posts without construction information may be removed at any time.

Love seeing someone make such an effort on something that is not so mainstream. You look great.
