Webbed Sights to See and Wear

My husband, Heather and I saw just saw "The Amazing Spiderman" in 3D, starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone.  I found the movie surprisingly fantastic.

Heather wore her "Spidey Skirt" with three tiers of ruffles while Andrew wore ...

... his "Spidey Spandex".  During an interview at the height of popularity of  "The Social Network", co-star Justin Timberlake (seated next to Andrew) trying to be pun-ny,  made a reference to this being his first "skintight" role.  I don't remember Tom, Denzel, Johnny or Brad in such roles earlier in their careers. 

A few weeks ago, Emma and Andrew participated in a photo session in Madrid, Spain. Emma's Roksanda Ilincic from the fall 2012 collection would look better without the ruffle.  It is reassuring to know that there is another one besides myself who experienced some challenges with gathering a piece of fabric...

This 2012 Spider Man "reboot" had a nice melange of  (I don't care what the critics say)...

action,

adventure,
Web Crawler


drama,
Spandex Spidey


science fiction,


romance,

and much more...


For Heather's "Spidey Skirt" I used McCall's 6276
Tiers for Peers



For the yoke and upper ruffle I used the same fabric as for my Spidey top made from a July 2012 Burda Style pattern (separate post)

for the second tier, I used this fabric that I purchased at Joann's.

and for the third tier, I used a cotton printed with colorful butterflies and swirls filled with connected circles.

Heather really enjoyed the movie and of course, wearing her new Spidey skirt.

  1. So glad you enjoyed the movie! I'm sorry to say I haven't seen any of the spiderman movies! I love Heather's skirt! I love the fabric combo you used..very unique! I just finished a second ruffled skirt for my daughter. Even though I hate doing ruffles, the pattern is dead easy. I posted a photo of her skirt in my latest blog post.
    Have a great night!
