So had a long sewing day yesterday, only to basically end up back where I started. I decided to remake the Silk Spectre waist cincher – I’m much happier with the new one but it took all day. I ran out of black thread at the end so didn’t get it completely finished.
Oh here’s my boots!
A couple of months ago I was asked by one of my cousins if I could make a Belle dress (the blue one) for their school production of Beauty and the Beast. I said sure. Never heard about it again until last Sunday, when I was asked again. I again said sure, when is the play? Oh, it’s in three weeks. So now I’ve got to finish this thing as fast as possible… but I’ve been waiting a week for measurements of the girl playing Belle. I’m going to go ahead and start it tonight, if they want this thing I can’t keep sitting around twiddling my thumbs.
So tonight is another long sewing night. I need to work on Silk Spectre a little bit, and get the patterns for the Belle dress cut out.
Hiya!
Do you have a schedule of conventions that you go to and if so, may I ask what it is?
When you go to conventions, do you plan on making costumes that fit the genre of the con or do you make costumes that you’ll enjoy wearing/showing off no matter the con?

Yep, I usually keep it posted in my userinfo, can’t remember if I’ve updated it or not. This year it’s just Megacon, MidSouthcon and Dragoncon. I pretty much make whatever I feel like… I don’t really ever try to fit it to a convention, the only time I really do that is for Dragoncon (I’ll save my “big” or difficult costumes for that). I keep a vague list of costumes I want to do and when the opportunity or interest bites I’ll start working on it, whether it fits into the upcoming con’s genre or not LOL
