I have a ton of costumes I want to make so when I go to a fabric store I always keep my eyes open for opportunities like discounts and just simply perfect fabrics. Earlier this year I visited Turku for work and found this great Sansa fabric for a really good price, and that's how I ended up doing it at this point. There are at least three costumes from Sansa I really want to make, and this was in all honesty at the bottom of that list but I'm still happy to have it made.
A year ago I started feeling like really wanting to make an Ivy costume, so I started googling different versions for one I could use as a starting point. That's when I found the covers for the Everyone loves Ivy story. I really liked the contrast with the black & green and decided to use this one. I also really liked the design of the body and the fact that it has a structured part.
