Finally!
Ok as usual let’s start with what I SAID I wanted to make in 2024 at the end of 2023, and see how I did:
1. Honeymoon Leia – YES!
This was kind of a given considering it was mostly done when I made this list in December 2023.
2. Star Wars Cruise Dress – YES!
Turned out so cute!
3. Baylan and Shin – YES!
Though I still need to drag Chase in front of the backdrop in his Baylan.
4. Tatooine Padme – YES!
I did it!
5. Dream Dress (The Sequel) – no 🙁
I will probably never get around to doing this.
6. Endor Leia – no 🙁
I WILL DO THIS EVENTUALLY I SWEAR
7. MoM Scarlet Witch – no 🙁
No BUT I did just buy more of the printed fabric so I’m locked in for 2025. Hopefully.
So what else did I do in 2024?
Scarlet Witch Disneybound Dress
A product of being snowed in. Was great for the cruise though. Glad I added the sleeves for the shoot.
Pirate Ariel
I mean yeah there wasn’t a lot of sewing involved here since it was mostly stuff I already had but I still like it.
Mara Jade’s Green Tunic
I’ve wanted this costume for so long!!
T’Lyn
Although I’m reshooting it this weekend with a brand new wig! I have the new wig styled and like 90% ready to go, just have to put the finishing touches on it.
Taylor Swift
It was the year of Taylor for me, so of course I had to do this
And in other non-costume/outfit projects…
Wedding projects galore
Star Wars clutch – practice for the next thing…
I cut appliques off my aunt’s wedding dress to make matching clutches for all the girls. Also used remnants from Cath’s earlier wedding dress to cover a pair of shoes for her to wear with it the shortened version for dinner the night of the cruise wedding.
All the Minnie Ears!
Kristie picked out some cute fabrics for ears for the cruise and i made these for her and Nana. I really like how these all turned out.
And here are some Taylor Swift-themed ears I made for our friends for the cruise!
I also made Cath some ears out of the scraps from her first wedding dress after it was hemmed shorter, so she could wear it with the new shortened dress on the cruise.
And more Taylor ears! The Lavender Haze ones are mine, and the TTPD and Midnights ones were for Ash’s bday/Christmas. I’ll post more about those later.
And the most recents – made a pair from the remnants of the retro Star Wars fabric! They’ve got Ahsoka and Rey on the back – and the other headband is the start of some Padme ones which I hope to have finished up this weekend.
Tiny Jedi Costumes
And finally some tiny Jedi costumes for Skye and Walker.
Not bad this year. Not as busy as last year, but not bad.
OK 2025 plans LET’S GO!
1. MoM Scarlet Witch
I’ve got more fabric, I’ve spent a lot of money on this fabric, I need to do it.
2. Belle ballgown version 3
I still don’t have a firm idea of what I want to do here. I have too many ideas. I’ll figure it out. Chase wants to do a new Beast costume.
3. Deanna Troi
To go with mom as Luxwana!!
WWDITS updates
I want to do a real Laszlo costume for Chase. I want a Nadja doll for myself. My parents are thinking about doing Nandor and the Guide maybe.
Dragoncon something else??
So yeah my parents are coming to dragoncon and we’re still trying to think of a group we could all do besides WWDITS.
Another Taylor?
I have several Taylor themed mashup ideas plus I want to do the Midnights bodysuit but also the TTPD dress but also the cream folklore dress… ugh too many things
A disneybound project
I’m starting on this this weekend. I’m so excited about it LOL
Let’s do this 2025!
