Katara is a character from the Asian-inspired American cartoon series called "Avatar: The Last Airbender". The show is funny, charming, and full of epic action-adventure, and if you haven't seen it yet, you should. I decided to try making Katara's costume, since I match her physical description fairly well. I've decided to do most of the work myself because I want to be able to enter it into a contest. Making all of those close will be interesting, to say the least,since I've never used a sewing machine so extensively.
I want to challenge myself by doing every layer of this costume, which includes:
- Underclothes
- Dress with long-sleeved undergarments
- Coat, mittens, gloves and shoes of outer layer.
At this point, I'm shopping around for different fabrics that will work for each layer. I want to have a lot of visual interest in the fabric itself, so I'm steering away from plain cotton. The biggest challenge here is probably balancing my love of authenticity with my budget.
