Making Marilyn Manson
So I just finished this project for funsies: (No pattern)
My fav look by Marilyn Manson~
I wanted to recreate it, but I knew the body suit was gonna be a whole THING.
I went through a couple different fabrics, and settled on tulle. It doesn’t fray, and I figured it’d be the easiest to sew.
I crocheted the whole thing first, and laid out the pieces.
Here's a time lapse of me crocheting his right arm
I wrapped each arm, and the torso with the tulle, and pinned it with about 500 pins and poked myself a dozen times. I split it between his legs and had a seam on each inside leg.
Using sewing thread, I carefully sewed the edges to the crochet with a blanket stitch. I whip-stitched up the major seam on the arms and the back. I should have started somewhere less visible, because I got better at it as I went along.
Then in sparkly black yarn, I made a bunch of chains and sewed them on top of that, with the black thread.
In conclusion, yes, it was indeed a Whole Dang Thing.
