Hello Kitty Costume

For a while I have been thinking about sewing a silly costume for myself.  I fould a bag of  metal hello kitty charms for R20 at the bead shop in Linden, a while ago I bought a bit of hello kitty fabric with large motifs of her face and on Saturday I found bags of pink buttons and another kind of hello kitty fabric - this one is a check with tiny kitty faces. I also have lots of pink fabric scraps, feathers and sequin dot.  I might also get some fo the pink and black stripped fabric to make pants - those Im not sure about - dunno if my legs can carry that off!

I began the belt - its a 2 piece Mardi Love style belt which will have hello kitty faces as the hip accents and the check fabric as the band.  I began beading it on saturday whilst watching the saturday afternoon Bollywood movie on TV.  The hip accent faces will take quite some time - I only managed to finish 1 that afternoon.  I did the charm fringe on one piece and got half way on the other.  Today I will carry on with it and perhaps finish the front of the belt.  I forgot about the buttons and edged the lower front with other beads which I will have to  replace with buttons.

I havent decided on the the style of the top yet.
