The pattern is based on this tutorial from Llevo el Invierno. Eri has lots of amazing things on her blog so do check her out.
You might remember I made wings last year for another little girl, Hannah, but this time I made a few adjustments to improve the wearing (I hope). I added a collar with velcro (rather than just ribbon) and also wrist cuffs with velcro. It's not super classy, but I hope it will help the wings stay on and also remove the choking hazard that Ben is always so worried about.
Just like last time I used some gold leatherette for the back. I really tried hard with the sewing at first to make it look nice but then decided not to worry too much as I think the uneven-ness adds to the charm. (I would say that !).
This would be a good project for anyone looking to stashbust!!
Oh, those wings are awesomely beautiful!!
