I am ensconced in velvet

I have been lost in a haze of velvet and iron-on stabilizer the past two weeks, so I’m sorry for the lack of updates.
I’m going to be taking some pics and posting them this weekend, both here and facebook, I promise!

In other news, I nabbed some taffeta at Joann’s for super cheap. Was going to use a 50% off coupon but then it was on clearance, for more the original price, which was awesome.

Picked out some fabric for the under-robes. It was on clearance at Joann.Kelldar.com | My Facebook Page | Tumblr  | Instagram

Chase has been working really hard on Beast.

I haven’t even started on my Belle remake. I decided I’m going to leave it til last, basically; since if for some reason I can’t finish I always have another Belle dress to wear šŸ™‚

Right now I’m in pretty good shape even though I don’t necessarily feel like I am.
For group project number 1…
costume #1, body is done, sleeves are done just need attached
costume #2, body is done, sleeves are done just need attached
costume #3, body is done, sleeves are halfway done
costume #4, waiting on fabric, haven’t started
I still need to make a collar piece for all costume once the fabric comes in, and an under-piece, belts, and hemming. All of those should go pretty quickly.

For group project number 2…
costume #1 is probably at 60%
costume #2 is at 30%
costume #3 hasn’t been started yet, but I have a wig and a fabric to order, did test dying on my sample and I’m quite happy, ordering the bulk of the fabric this week.

Batgirl…
I finally ordered fabric! I’m going to pattern out the bodysuit this week. I need to find boots and figure out gloves, Chase is helping with the glove and belt accessories.

Belle…
Like I said leaving this for last. I have some fabric, not all of it, I’m still shopping… I did get my new wig in last week and I’m very excited about it!
