I got a base necklace for my necklace pieces… I haven’t figured out how to attach them yet, but they look great just sitting around it on the table LOL
I cut out the pattern for my belt. Dad came up with a pattern on the computer last night – he took the dimensions of my regular ANH belt, and slightly curved it, so it fits a little more snugly around the top. I’ve got that pattern laid out on the leather right now, it’s waiting to be cut. Once that’s cut out, I’ll start dying it. I hope it doesn’t take too many coats.
I forgot to get another sheet of craft metal while at Hobby Lobby today; I have to go back in the morning. Urgh!
I got the new sleeves cut – MUCH better. I ended up grabbing some chiffon, not what I wanted to use, I was hoping to find something like what I used for my lake dress… but they didn’t have ANYTHING. Typical. It’ll do for now, and it’s much prettier than the stuff I was using before.
So I’ve got that all pinned on. Whoo hoo.
I found some darker pink for Belle today. The dying of the bodice pieces the other day didn’t go very well, so I tossed those and decided to just buy something. Well I found the perfect shade at Hobby Lobby today, for $3, whoohoo. I’m cutting out those pieces now. I’ve got the skirt put together – I need to finish gathering the waist. I’ve got the lining cut, and the sleeve pieces cut, now that I’ve got the new bodice pieces I can put it all together.
Don’t ask me why I’m working on an MTAC project in the middle of this midsouthcon madness. Just don’t! haha. Who knows, maybe I’ll get Leia finished and will have time friday to finish off Belle, and I can wear her to midsouthcon friday night. Haha you never know. It’s going so smoothly and quickly right now, you know something has to go wrong.
My second sheet of metal came today, just like I thought. Thank goodness that place ships so quickly!! š
I think in a moment I’m going to go out and start messing with my WW tiara star.
I also picked up my material for my Utena jacket today. It was pricier than I expected for it to be sitting on the clearance rack. Ah well – it finished up my Christmas gift card!
Also for tonight- make my red tube top to wear under the WW bodice.
Tomorrow night, I’m going to try to pull everything out and pack up my bins for the weekend. I think I AM going to take Susan, I just hope I still have the scythe, I haven’t seen it in a while.
another midsouthcon post coming up shortly–
