Construction Rewind - Utena Tenjou from Revolution Construction Rewind - Utena Tenjou from Revolutionary Girl Utena!

This was my 3rd version of this costume - I made my first in 2001 and second in 2007, and I wanted to make a new third version in 2021 for the 20th anniversary of the first. I didn’t quite make it in time — I finished it up in 2022 but close enough! I’m very happy with how she turned out and I realllly need to wear it somewhere.
A really quick video to show what I was up to this A really quick video to show what I was up to this past weekend! I got my Multiverse of Madness Scarlet Witch costume started - pants are made, undershirt is like 90% done (need to add the thumb loop), and the bodice is sort of done - once I have the front piece and hip panels wearable I need to try it on and see if I need to adjust the shape. You can read more about all this in my blog post from today!
Posting this video a little later than intended, b Posting this video a little later than intended, but you get the idea. 

In 2002 I decided to toss together a last minute Princess Leia costume to wear to the Attack of the Clones midnight show. And I was hooked on Star Wars costumes from then on out…
Here’s how my dragoncon costume line-up usually Here’s how my dragoncon costume line-up usually goes - and why I don’t commit to a firm schedule anymore 😹 

These are all clips from an old video I did in 2020 I just recut for this. This is not my line up this year! You can scroll back in my feed a bit for that - but it’s all just still a rough idea right now.
Switching things up today but still keeping it in Switching things up today but still keeping it in the realm of my Star Wars fanart. Back in 2018-2019 I did my Padme art project where I drew all of Padme’s costumes from the movies and clone wars, but then also delved into the unused concept art for the prequels. It was my fav part of the project, getting to reimagine the sketchy designs into full fledged costumes, deciding on colours and fabrics and jewelry. 

This particular Padme was one of four I did at the end which I called my alt storyline Padmes. In this version, she survived ROTS and went on to become a senate leader, and highly involved in the resistance she, Bail and Mon Mothma were plotting in the cut ROTS scenes. Watching Andor and Mon Mothma’s debate scenes made me think of this fanart piece again. 

If you want to see more from this project, they’re all available under the art tab on my blog!
Here’s another Andor-related piece of fanart fro Here’s another Andor-related piece of fanart from my Midcentury Space Project. This was a project where I mashed up midcentury-era fashion/sewing patterns and Star Wars costumes. Dedra Meero really suited a film noir-inspired look. 

If you want to read more about this project or see the others I did, they are all available at the “Art” tab on my blog!
I wanted to highlight some of my Andor-related fan I wanted to highlight some of my Andor-related fanart this row — this was my Andor era Mon Mothma from my Midcentury Pattern project, where I mashed midcentury fashion/sewing patterns with Star Wars costumes. Mon Mothma’s wardrobe translated into this vibe beautifully. I’d love to expand the project to include more of her season 2 outfits - and more of the Andor characters (and Ahsoka characters too. Really want to do a Shin Hati one.)

If you want to read more about this project (or see more of it), it’s all up at the art tab on my blog.

Indy’s mutant power was “psychic howl” - or Indy’s mutant power was “psychic howl” - or maybe “toxic dog breath”? She could’ve take down even the worst X-Men villains with that!
Yall usually see Luna crashing our white backdrop Yall usually see Luna crashing our white backdrop shoots now, but before that, it was Indy 💚 actually Indy really didn’t “crash” the photoshoot, it was more like me making her pose with me 😹 

Here she is being compelled to tell the truth about who chewed up the wooden stars I was painting… it was her all along.
Construction Rewind: Donna Noble’s Journey’s E Construction Rewind: Donna Noble’s Journey’s End costume from Doctor Who!

Made this back in 201! It’s a little bit of a simpler one, but I did want to highlight projects that arent necessarily “big.”

If anyone has any requests for the next construction rewind row, lmk!
Construction Rewind: Princess Leia’s Bespin outf Construction Rewind: Princess Leia’s Bespin outfit! 

For a long time, I thought this was going to be “the one that got away” - it was the only OT Leia costume I was missing for YEARS. But I finally did it in 2017 and I love her 💚
Construction Rewind - Dapper Day Chip and Dale! (R Construction Rewind - Dapper Day Chip and Dale! (Rescue Rangers version)

These were intended for Walt Disney world spring dapper day 2020 but debuted 2021 instead. They were so much fun!
I had a whole long diatribe typed up to post today I had a whole long diatribe typed up to post today but y’know what, I don’t have the energy for it. So here’s some floaty chiffon Padme lake dress action instead.
Yes I’m posting a mirror selfie on my main feed… wore my Star Trek uniform to midtowncon weekend before last, and I’m glad I took the mirror pic for posterity, when my hair looked the way I wanted! It was no longer ideal by the time I took a few more pics when we got home (after walking around outside for a couple of hours! 😹)

I bought these boots in 2023 and I’m so irritated that they are already falling apart. The sole is coming off one shoe and I’ve lost the heel cap on the other. I’ve been meaning to get them to a cobbler for repairs but I forget until I need to wear them again!
Hey look I actually got to go out and do a thing i Hey look I actually got to go out and do a thing in my Princess Leia costume! It’s been a minute. 

Trooping the Redbirds May the 4th game and finally got to wear my new boots. They still need some work but they were super comfy. We had great weather and I got to dance on the dugout 😹

A little over 2 months since surgery so I didn’t want to push it wearing that belt for too long (it’s a bit tight on me these days and it does not have any give!), but I lasted longer than I thought I would. Yay! 🤗
Here’s a more in-depth look at the recent progre Here’s a more in-depth look at the recent progress on my Troi costume from Star Trek TNG I’m making for dragoncon this year. I had to do the voiceover in one go because my editing app kept messing up if I tried to do it in chunks, so sorry if it sounds awkward 😹
Happy Mother’s Day 💚 Here’s my Breha Organ Happy Mother’s Day 💚 
Here’s my Breha Organa costume from the Obi-Wan Kenobi series - trying to figure out where Princess Leia has gotten off to now!
My 3 Disneybound Padme outfits! Picnic Padme is My 3 Disneybound Padme outfits! 

Picnic Padme is brand new - if you want to read more about her I posted a photo post a couple of days ago with a whole long rambling caption 😹 

The lake dress outfit I made back in 2021! It’s been so fun to wear to batuu and also took it on our Disney cruise last year.

The post senate Queen Amidala look is pretty new too, I just finished her in January this year for our Jan 2025 trip. She was great cuz it was freezing cold the whole time we were there and I could layer underneath it 😹

I really wanna do a Tatooine Padme bound next. I think it really lends itself to a cool summer outfit that’d be great for the parks.
I’m not caught up on Andor; we are currently on I’m not caught up on Andor; we are currently on episode 6 - we will get caught up this weekend! I love how this show fleshes out the character of Mon Mothma. Here’s my Rogue One Mon Mothma from a few years ago. I’d love to do an Andor Mon costume one day, they are so much more stylish than her rebellion robes!
