octopus skirt

in collage for one of my project it was on animals and i decided to make and octopus costume i first started by picking out two colours which were purple and a white-blue colour. first i made a pencil skirt this is the hot of me starting to cut out the skirt in the fabric. for me to get the pencil shape in the skirt i put some darts in the front and back of the skirt.



after i did this it was not for the difficult part of the costume was making and adding the tenticals .
when making the tentical i did four different shapes so that the costume would look different. once i cut the out of one colour i then cout it out of the same colour and the stiched all eight of them together and them stuffed the with stuffing to make them look like tenticals.

after i did that i relised that they octopus have know sucker pads and it took me a while to figure out what i could do to make the sucker pad and how i would put them on to the costume, then i reslised that i could use a chifon and i cut out 100's of circles and stiched arount the full circle and the pulled the cotton to make them look like sucker pads.



after i did this to all of them i then i hand stitched them all on to the tenticals and making sure that the didnt fall of and this was my octopus costume finished.
