I started with sewing a super cozy hoodie for Vanellope.  I picked a fleece that best matched the bright, candy like colors I wanted and had a cuddly knap to its right side.  I noticed while looking at screen captures and watching my copy of the movie that it looked like the inside of her hood was actually a different color than the teal.  I was happy to find I still had some gray sweatshirt fabric in my fabric stash to use.  One amusing moment was realizing that if I wanted to use extra large pink cording that I would need to find a grommet large enough to string it through!

I cannot thank Anti Ai-chan enough for her amazing tutorial on making Vanellope’s skirt.  It creates a really beautiful outcome.  The skirt is supposed to look like a shiny Reeses Peanut Butter Cup wrapper and I picked a shiny satin backed with the recommended super thick DecorBond.  The skirt looks awesome while you’re standing but due to how stiff it is, it can be a bear to try to sit in!  

The striped on my leggings are sewn except for the thin purple line that I felt would be easiest to match by painting.  The leggings turned out super comfortable and a nice warm addition to my already cozy costume. 

The candy is all sculpted from lightweight clay and glued to hairpins.  I worked hard to place each candy piece in the wig as close to how she wears her actual candy.
