First off, Ash FINALLY gave me the C3 pictures from her camera – I added them here – they’re down at the bottom. A few of note: Me and dad, me and dad again, stabbing!!, What am I so happy about?
Right now I’m working on Leia’s Hoth outfit… I’m focusing on just the jumpsuit for now, I hope to have it done in time for Shadowcon Jan 6. I doubt I’ll get the vest done before then, so I’ll just wear the jumpsuit like she did on Bespin. I’ve gotten a decent start on it, I’ve got the fabric cut out, need to put it together and then go from there on the quilted areas and stuff.
Here’s what I’m working on in 2006 so far.
1. Hoth Leia
As I said above.
2. Darth Vader
Making all the soft parts for Chase, he wants to have it done by his birthday in March. I might could do that if he would get the fabric to me lol 😉
3. Padme’s Lake dress
I’ve been wanting to remake it for months now, so I’m going to try to get it done for MidSouthCon next year.
4. Bespin Leia
I don’t really have a set date for getting this done, because I know the embroidery will take me forever, but that’s about the time I plan on getting started with it.
5. Finish Yuuko
Finish attaching the sleeves, do the undersleeves, and the design on the back of the skirt, for MTAC.
6. Padme’s Funeral Dress
Sort of planning this for Adventurecon in July, I want to do it, just don’t have a set date.
7. Wonder Woman
This costume was actually one I wanted to do THIS year, but couldn’t figure out how to do parts of it. Chase thinks he can do it, though, so yay! Planning it for Comic Con…
8. The Bride
I’ve been wanting to put together a Bride costume for a while… the yellow suit from Kill Bill 1. I know it’s been done, but I think it would be a fun, easy to wear costume for late at Dragoncon or something.
9. White Witch
One of the Witch’s costumes from Narnia… probably for Comic Con or Dragoncon.
10. Dorothy
My family is doing Oz costumes for Halloween next year, I’m doing Dorothy. Mum’s going to be the Wicked Witch, and dad is going to be the Cowardly Lion, with Kes as Toto. She’s not black but she’s still a Cairn terrier, so it’ll be cool.
11. ANH Leia
Remake my Leia with a better fabric.
And some point I’ll finish my Mephistopheles and Polychrome costumes that I got a start on this year… I’ve got all the material for both and a good start on both, so I’ll definitely finish them at some point.
Next year’s schedule:
Shadowcon (Jan 6-7), FantiSciCon/ATL St. Patrick’s Day Parade (March 18-19), MidSouthCon (March 24-26), MTAC (April 21-23), Science of Star Wars Opening in Ohio (June 4-6), Adventurecon (June 24-25), San Diego Comic Con (July 20-23), Dragoncon (Sept 1-4)
