Hello, I'm Andrea from Paper Sparrow. I'm really exciting to be guest posting on Kate's lovely blog while she is visiting the happiest place on earth, Walt Disney World. I'm a huge Disney fan! I spent 4 or 5 vacations in Orlando as a kid and lived in O-town for the past few years before moving to New York. I was even lucky enough to get lots of free passes while my sister worked in the park as a musician.
Being a fan of the Disney classics, I wanted to make and wear a Sorcerer's Apprentice outfit inspired by the 1940 classic, Fantasia.
To make the hat I used a blue cotton blend fabric and a vintage pattern, McCalls 8254, that has a mini brim and somewhat resembles a cycle cap. I hand-stamped a star pattern with a stamp I had leftover from a D&G star-stamped dress I made a few months ago. With a base coat of white fabric paint followed by gold on top, it showed up really well on the dark blue cap! Speaking of Disney inspired hats . . . some of my favorite WDW time-wasting memories are of trying on Mike Wazowski and Viking hats in the gift shops! It is a tradition to continue.
Here's a little Fantasia Mickey set I put together on Polyvore.
Hat: Self-Made
Dress: Asos
Cape: Vintage
Gloves: We Love Colors
Shoes: Vintage
Finally, I made a silly conducting pose which the musican in me is laughing really hard at! Ha, I have no idea what I was doing during this shot : ) Thanks so much for having me on your blog, Kate, and I hope you have an amazing vacation!! xoxo Andrea
