So where I left off with Jessica last week was I was pretty close to get it finished. I had to tweak that sleeve pattern once more. But as I kept working on it I was really unhappy with it. The darts I'd had to add just looked awful, the sleeve openings were too low and droopy looking and everytime I tried to press the darts it just seemed to ...
Hey I actually got a good amount of stuff done this past week. I finished hemming the Jessica veils, and then I got the dress pieces cut: It's been kinda hard this past week to show any progress of this on IG, because I'm trying to avoid putting pins in it so I never had the panels pinned together until I went to actually sew them together. She's beauty, she's ...
Well my old desktop computer has once again decided it's not going to connect to the internet so I'm back on my laptop. Blah. I hate writing my blog entries on the laptop. I kept working on my Padme sleeves last week. And I came to the conclusion that this poly charmeuse doesn't hang right. It's just slightly thicker and stiffer and just doesn't hang like a silk would. So ...
We are one day away from June and fully into Dragoncon season now. I finally feel like my brain has "switched over" and it's not a fight to go make myself sew. I'm gonna go over the non-costumey stuff first so I can get it out of my photo feed -- First, last week Chase surprised me with some new Disney wax melts! Friday night we had game night and ...
Well hi I don't really have much to share this week either, though I do feel like I got a lot done. I'm just at the point of both costumes where I'm still in the planning stages for a lot of it so I don't have much to SHOW. For Packing Padme, I got in my lining fabric for the sleeves but I feel like it might be slightly the ...
I really don't have much of anything to post. But I'm here anyway. I did get the site updated last week - new stuff added to the portfolio/costume pages. Also discovered that when I added my Utena page back in february I apparently linked it to the 2007 Utena instead of the new one. I've still been feeling like a slug. No energy, stuffed up, migraine. Today I finally feel ...
Well hi I'm back from Disney World. The trip was great, but also weird. It felt rushed. How does a week+ trip feel rushed? I've no idea. Luna knew something was up and was saaaaad Wednesday night I went and picked up Kevin. I got to do the surprise I've been planning for months. "Hey Kevin are you ready to go?" "Go where?" "Well where do you want to go?" "...
It's now that time period before a vacation where EVERY SINGLE THING is bothering me. Work is bothering me, people are bothering me, everything is bothering me because it's all standing in the way of my vacation. I barely have any pics to post this week so I'll sprinkle in some cat photos. Last week I mostly focused on finishing up my packing, triple checking everything. Thursday had a picnic ...
We get one nice day and then a storm blows in and makes it cold again. Had to wear a sweater to Easter. Can't remember the last time I had to wear something warm on Easter. Like the title says, I'm really tired of my winter clothes at this point and I'm ready to move on to shorts for a few months ok? Also this post is coming to you ...
I just really want to GO ok. I'm tired of work. I'm tired of life. I just want to be in disney world and not have to worry about anything. Soooo what'd I do last week. First up, I finished off my Death Star Plans bag for my dapper day Leia look. The center gold piece is 3d painted in gold filament and then I carefully painted in the black ...
