WIP: Snegurochka Costume, Part 2

I finished weaving the second trim for Elena's costume, both of the trims have been finished (i.e. washed), and are now drying. So I will start sewing the dress as soon as I get a chance!

This trim is made of the same yarn as the first, but it's a different snowflake pattern, and is a bit wider than the first. Here are a couple of pics:

WIP: Snegurochka Costume, Part 1

As promised, here is Part 1 in my series of posts about Elena's Snegurochka costume. ^-^

This costume is going to consist of a satin dress, a velvet coat, and some accessories. I am weaving two different types of trim for the dress, and I am almost done with the first one. So today I took a few pictures of Elena posing with it while it is still on the loom.

The trim is white with a silver snowflake design. I used Xie yarn, which is 100% bamboo. My loom is the Mirrix Little Guy (12-inch) loom.

I should be done weaving this piece tomorrow, and then I will start on the second style of trim that I need - I can't really start making the costume until the trim is all done.

So, that is all for now. I will post again when I have more done :D

I hope everyone is well, and had a nice Christmas, and I wish you all a very Happy New Year!

Malina is a little Russian rag doll. Her costume is based on those from the Kaluga and Moscow regions. She wears lapti shoes, which are usually made of birch bark. Malina means "raspberry" in Russian.
