Materials and instruction

This is an example of making in my way.

The base is knit fabric.
This is recycle from a skirt of wool jersey.

The fins and scales are transparent and metallic cloth.
I used polyester organdy.

Making

• Sew the base like a long skirt. Its bottom is sewed triangle.
• The length is longer than your legs.
• You may stuff the end with polyester fiberfill softly.
• Pass an elastic tape through the waist.
• Stitch the caudal fin.

Then draw the lines on the fin with golden acrylic paint.

Attach scales

• Draw the circles (5-8cm) on organdy cloth with golden acrylic.
• Cut out them after dries.
• Stitch the circles to the base with a transparent thread.
• Over 200 scales are required.

Next, I would like to make brassiere of scallop. I don't know when.
