Captain Marvel Cosplay skirt

I made this pretty awesome Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers skirt and scarf in 2 days time! It was kind of a last minute thing for Twin Tiers Comic Con in Elmira on Sat(8/13).

Everything was bought at JoAnn Fabrics and here's what you'll need if you want to make your own:

Blue fabric #400104927188
Red Fabric #400045691254
Yellow fabric- I used yellow symphony broadclotch from another project
Gold Trim #070659745324
Gold Metallic Elastic( or any other elastic that you want) which can be found in the Notions aisle
Star pdf
Pellon 911FF iron on interfacing- as big as your star( i used 9 inches)

Thread: Coats and Clark "Hero Red" and "Monaco Blue"(I think)

also I used this website for reference, which I think I already linked to for my WTNV skirt

I pretty much just cut the red fabric shorter than the blue fabric and sewed it on top of it along the waistline, then put in the elastic. The gold trim was sewn onto the red hemline and then the yellow star was sewn off-center on top of the red fabric and gold trim( about halfway on the hemline so it hangs on tops of the blue fabric)

ALSO KELLY SUE DECONNICK RETWEETED MY PHOTO WHICH IS SO COOL!!

They make for great traveling when I go to farmers markets and to family affairs. -- I have decided that I am going to do the farmers market again this year. I was debating for awhile due to Saturday conflicts, but I might as well just do it so I can sell my stuff and get it out there. sooooo, Here is a coupon that you can use! just print it off(it doesn't have to be in color, black ink is fine) and come to Lansing Farmers Market on Saturdays starting this Saturday(June 10th) from 9am-12:30p!
