I'm making pretty good progress on the four fairy commissions. One of them is basically a remake of my "Topaz Fairy" for Isar, and the other three are for Kaye Wiggs MSDs. I thought since I'd not really done much with my Kayla yet, that I'd use her as my sewing model. Once the costumes are closer to being finished, I'll get two more volunteers from among my Kaye girls to model the other two.
It's interesting that even thought Isar and Kayla look so different - one is just a little girl, while the other is a mature young lady - they can actually wear these same fairy costumes. They both use the same bodice and skirt patterns. The only difference is that they need different sleeve patterns because I like close-fitting sleeves, and one has much slimmer arms. Or is it that one has such big hands that they don't fit through the sleeves? Yes, that's it. Isar's hands will fit through the tube sleeves, but Kayla needs sleeves that are wide open and snap up from top to bottom. So the sleeves are the same basic design, just sewn differently.
