Updates on everything!

Handmaiden – got the front panel finished stamping. Yay! šŸ™‚

Mando vest – coming along… i plan to get a lot of work done on it tomorrow night.

Belle – blue jumper is cut out and sewn together, needs hemmed. still got to make the white shirt and apron. I’m using a different pattern than when we made this for the BatB production last semester- I like it better.
Belle ballgown upgrades – I love how the trim looks!! I want to get mum’s opinion before sewing it on. I also the direction of the addition to the skirt. I snagged 14 large yellow silk roses off ebay today – I’m going to put them at the bottom of each gather on the skirt ala the Disney on Ice version (get rid of those icky fake jewels – esp. the yellow ones that look brown most of the time. I might pop the one off the front also and replace it with a big white one.)

Tomorrow: Get mando vest mostly done. Start applique for it. Start on jumpsuit providing mum can find fabric for me tomorrow (I don’t like what I currently have, as I said before). More stamping. White shirt apron for belle.

Thurs: Mando vest, flightsuit. Hopefully will have stamping done on handmaiden and can do appliques. Beading for handmaiden. Finish up Belle.

Friday: Finish vest flightsuit. Weathering. Appliques for handmaiden. Figure out underdress.

Saturday: Finish whatever needs to be done for handmaiden – weathering. Start on Chase’s pants. Gloves, boot covers.

Sunday: Weathering for handmaiden. Weathering for mando. Paint boots. Chase’s jacket/shirt/vest (all one piece)

I don’t expect myself to stay on that schedule, but it would be nice. If I got to that point by sunday I would be good to go for dcon…

I need to go buy a few more tubs to carry stuff in – not shipping this year is throwing me off. We’re carrying everything in tubs, and most of mine are full so I need a few extra. I get to carry my dresses in a garment bag! No trying to fold them up and fit them in a garbage bag in a box!

I realise that 2 out of 3 of my costumes is somewhat secret. Maybe secret isn’t the right word, but I’m not giving away exactly what they are – thus why there have been no pics. A few people know which handmaiden I’m doing (one I’ve been in love with for years) and a few people know which version of Wonder Woman I’m doing. I’ve mentioned on a few sites my 4th costumes I haven’t even spoken of here – I haven’t mentioned it because it would give away what chase’s secret costume is! LOL but it’s something that I just bought stuff for (or already had) that doesn’t require much work, but should be fun to wear…

Probably by next weekend I’ll stop being secretive and post pics šŸ™‚

On a seperate note – I’m redesiging the costume site again (tired of how it looks), so if you go there some stuff maybe kinda weird (not working, not matching, etc). I don’t plan to have it done before Dcon. I’m having surgery the wednesday after dcon (just getting wisdom teeth pulled, yay) and I have that thurs and fri off – I plan to spend those days getting the new site up and going. Just a heads up.
