Tomorrow is moving day, and I haven’t packed any of my costume stuff.
I think I’ve got a plan. Most of my stuff is in plastic storage bins. When we get the uhaul here tonight, I’m just going to put whatever loose stuff in whatever plastic bin has room, and load them up that way. Messy I know, but I didn’t have time to sort anything beforehand – I’ll go through it all later and get it sorted.
I do have my Poison Ivy stuff in a duffel bag, so it’s separate and I can work on it once we get moved in, without having to search for stuff. I tried everything on last night – I’m having trouble with ONE spot on the “briefs” – everytime I put them on, the leaf in that one spot pops off. So I think I’ll sew it down, and if worse comes to worse, Chase can glue another leaf on me at the con, LOL. But overall I was pretty happy with it. I’m also happy with how the boots are turning out, it’s slow going, but it’s getting there.
A lot of our sewing equipment mum and I share. The sewing machine she gave me (she wants a new one), and the serger is mine, but little things like scissors (I’m going to buy my own new pair, I’ve decided), and thread (I guess I’ll just take what I foresee myself needing the next few weeks?), and the seam ripper, little things like that, I’m going to have to get my own or see what mum thinks she won’t need/wants new ones of.
Well anyway, I’m just rambling, making myself late for work as usual… I can’t *wait* to get the new work room/prop room set up. It’ll be so nice to have room to work!!
I reccommend selling/ giving away old costumes, it is the only way Mark and I fit all our costume/chainmail/art stuff in our new place. I also enjoy seeing other people enjoy my old costumes!
Best of luck moving, it’s a pain in the ass but it’s so awesome when it is done!
