This will not be an easy project. Primarily because there will be extensive tailoring that will be needed, and tailoring is anything but easy. If you're not willing to become very very familiar with a seam ripper, or ask your grandmother (aka, the best seamstress you know) to give you a hand when the going gets tough, then you may not want to start a project like this. However, if the words basting, hand sewing, tedious and long hours does not immediately strike fear into the very core of your being you're either insane or a die hard costumer that might survive to the end of this project. There will be MASSIVE amounts of hand sewing so do not be surprised when the sewing machine is not used for much.
I'll be breaking everything up into manageable posts. A post for each section. I'll attempt to explain why you need something or the reason for using a specific technique, and I'll provide links as well. Hopefully I can make this whole process as painless as possible and something a relatively new sewer can attempt.
The next couple of posts will include details on basic supplies you need to do the job, materials and the notions you will need. I'll also include a refresher on certain stitches etc... so when I use certain terminology you'll all know what I am talking about.
Ready?
