Donkey Kong Dress Mod Version 1 & 2

Step 2 Planning and supplies

Finally sketched out the idea on July, 2007 despite thinking about it for a long time. Also took a long time going store to store trying to find the right supplies. It was very frustrating. Sometimes ended up buying fabric pieces that I didn't end up using after all. But it was such small amounts it wasn't worth the time and energy returning it. Also asked for samples or bought 1/8 yard pieces for matching.

Supplies:
Donkey Kong tshirt

Hard to get fabrics and notions, in a retail store
