      LOL! That's right, girl! Let 'em know he's taken!! Best to stake your claim to him at the start or else you'll spend the rest of your night answering all the "Who's the hottie? Is he your brother?? questions", lol. But it would be partially your fault though cuz YOU put him in a period costume. You should know that period costumes make even the un-coolest guy even hotter, lol!!

    I love your nails. I'm also really excited for your Halloween series this year. It's my first Halloween with a sewing machine. I've already been thrifting for my costume(Mary Poppins!). I'm pretty sure I was fated to go to the thrift store that day, because I found the perfect navy blue coat to alter, and it fits me perfectly in the shoulders. I can never find normal coats that fit my shoulders, so I was super excited when i realized this.

    April 👏👏👏🙌yessss girl! your thrifted transformations are the BEST! This is so good! I love Halloween cause I know you're going to have some amazing transformations! Why does it always look like a piece of cake when you do it, but when I try it looks like a hot mess😂 the struggle is real! if I could just fix the tension on my machine! ugh

    My son last minute decided that he wanted to be Mushu for Halloween and I love to have family themed costumes, so this and your Mulan transformation are lifesavers (if I decide I'm up for it...)! Thanks!

    could you do some thrifted transformations using knitted jumpers? maybe turning them into cardigans, adding decorative fabric inserts to the sides, mahjong the jumper a larger size? xx

    • @CloBow01
      @CloBow01 9 років тому

      To replicate her white dress you can find a large, long white shirt (most likely from a men's section) and make replicate the top half of it by making it a tube dress and sewing it in with elastic.
