Well here we are on another Monday. So here was my Padme to-do list last week, with updates: 1. Hem skirt - done! 2. Finish pleated front panel/attach - half done. I got it re-gathered and ready to go but wanted to wait til my beads arrived to make sure the two things together are sized correctly. 3. Do tacks on top - no, i am too lazy 4. Research stamp stuff for ...
Here we are again on another Monday morning. Today has been a very monday monday already. Feeling better about Padme. Got a bunch done this weekend. I think I've said about 5 times now that the top is done, but everytime I put it on, I find another place that needs tacked. It's currently sitting with about 3 pins in it for places that need to be tacked down. I also need ...
This Padme costume is about to be my 13th reason. The fabric is just SOOO thin that anytime I have to unpick something it either damages the fabric or I accidentally cut a hole in it. Trying to get everything to line up correctly and looking ok at the neckline has been the majority of my weekend. I guess let's back up. The top with the cape attached. Now with ...
I have a lot of puppy content. Let's get to it. Walker stayed with us last Monday from around 8 in the morning to about 3 the next day. My parents were out of town for a concert and she's too little to stay at doggie daycare yet like Skye did. She slept most of the day Monday and Tuesday, until I got off work Monday and then we played hard for ...
Not a ton to talk about this week. Actually I think the thing I have the most to say about is sewing progress! For the first time in a while. SO. I had gotten that fabric to use as lining for the top and the skirt. I got the skirt pieces cut out - it's basically a miniskirt - got the "lining" layer sewn to the scuba layer, got everything ...
Well I don't have as much progress to show today as I would've liked, but I did cross a big hurdle with my Padme build. But before I get into all that, let's do a puppy pic dump. Friday my parents had to go up to help my granddad with some stuff, and Skye went to doggy daycare for the day, but Walker is still too little. So she got ...
Ok before I get into anything else... I've got puppy fever. My parents' new baby, Walker! Of course her big sister is Skye, so together they are Skye Walker - and Walker came on on May the 4th :) Skye is Walker's aunt, I think they said. omg I get to babysit one day soon :D Stole Skye's bed LOL More May the 4th Fun - Saturday morning I got up ...
So I had big plans of trying to do a start to finish mockup of Padme this weekend. I had 10 new yards of fabric, I was going to cut out all of my pattern pieces, assemble everything, make edits (hopefully small) and then be ready for my real fabric this week. Of course I knew that was shooting for the moon. But I was hoping I'd get close. Alas! I ...
Hello, I don't even know why I'm posting today because I have nothing of importance to share. The only sewing update I have is that I got the pieces I've "finished" transferred to paper. I played around the lining layer and ended up adding an extra seam to help it fit better (since that layer won't be seen anyway). I need to do one more test fit with it and ...
This is a continuation of my last post! We left Huntsville around 10 and drove to Birmingham instead of home - because we were going to the Art of Disney Costume exhibit at the Birmingham Museum of Art! I took a ton of photos and I'm not going to post everything here - HERE is the whole gallery! Disclaimer... I was really excited and moving a little too fast with photos, ...
