Contest Update

As I stated yesterday, because the turnout was high, I selected another winner using a random number generator.  And that winner is... Melody Brown.  Melody, please contact me at spookyseamstress AT gmail DOT com regarding your prize.

Contest: The Big Reveal

Happy Halloween and Merry Samhain!  After a week of hints and numerous great guesses, I am pleased to reveal my costume.

I was Jareth, the Goblin King from Labyrinth.  On the left is the costume I attempted to reproduce.  Jareth wears it in the As the World Falls Down/ballroom scene.  It's a good thing I really like that song, because I had to watch it for reference quite a bit.

I'm not sure why I picked this particular outfit.  Jareth wears about eight or nine different outfits in the movie, all of a very similar style, but this one particularly struck a chord with me.

You guys are good.  Several people were correct, but C Girl's Life guessed the answer first, on Day 3.  And I was afraid that no one would get it.  C Girl, please contact me at spookyseamstress AT gmail DOT com regarding your prize.

Since there were so many guesses, I will also be picking a random winner, which I will announce today or tomorrow.

The patterns I used were all Simplicity: 2172, 3629, 3685, and 4077.  Reviews to come.

Thanks to everyone who participated.  I hope you had as much fun as I did.  I'll definitely do this again next year.
