I really don't have much to post today, no real costume updates to mention. This past week has mostly just been slowly packing, and helping Chase finish up Vader: He finally got to try it all on last night. The only thing that didn't work was his shinguards, so after this pic we replaced the strapping with something different that worked better. He's worried the head is too big and ...
Well not quite but it's close enough. I'm in good shape. Here's a random pic I took of the jedi Leia tunic last week just for IG. No updates here. Got a new button cover kit last week, so I replaced Padme's cuff buttons for a 3rd time. Please I never want to do this again. Luna supervised. Finished all my little updates on wedding Leia. Since the April photoshoot ...
Work is really trying my patience. I'm soooo ready to go. I need a break from work, a week out of the house. Well of course, I don't really have much to post about since I'm pretty much DONE. I'm just gonna go through this weeks pics one at a time in no order. Ok so first up let's talk Christmas decorations because I have 2 new ones I really want ...
It feels really good to be almost done with 6 new costumes + soft parts for 2 costumes for Chase nearly a month before Dragoncon. Ok so I'm just gonna go through my pics in order. We finally made our own badge ribbons to hand out this year! Obviously I'll be handing out the Space Bun Club ribbons LOL And Chase will have the Laszlo ones. Got out the wig I bought for ...
I feel like I didn't get much done last week, but then I look back at where I was last week and realize... I did get a lot done. I finished up Bail. I didn't like the trim I bought for the neckline, so I made some out of leftover Vader pleather. Also added some elastic loops to the bottom right edge that the belt with thread through, to keep ...
Yes, we took Saturday off costume work and did a double feature. We started with breakfast at the Liquor Store: Then off to see Oppenheimer on the imax: Chase got a leg cramp right as they were starting the Trinity test. He had to awkwardly try to get out of the aisle, then was stuck standing in the hall for the rest of the movie because of the cramp. I ...
Did I mention before I'm doing an X-Files rewatch? I was going to watch all of Voyager after finishing TOS, but instead I got sucked into one of my OG fandoms. Fond memories of scouring the 90s internet for X-Files fanfics... Oh and did I mention I'm doing a Scully costume for Dragoncon? LOL Just a cheap quick thing. Using my Diane skirt, buying a blazer. I went ahead and ...
Let's start out with Seven progress this week because looking back at my last post... dang I finished a lot since then! It didn't feel like that much but it was. I did finish getting all of the HTV sewn on and FINALLY got to start sewing everything together. The back panel It took me a minute to remember how the sleeves worked on the TNG uniform -- the yoke ...
I don't have much of anything to post this week. Spent most of the last week trying to get the HTV for the Seven yoke to work. Basically everytime we'd do a test it'd come out backwards. Chase was definitely sending it mirrored - backwards. Then not mirrored - backwards. We'd finally get a test square that was right, go to print a full page of that - backwards. We ...
So I posted a silly video on my tiktok yesterday about why I don't do commissions and I used Bespin Leia as an example of an incredibly in-depth costume project that I'd NEVER EVER do on commission - I mean, I'm not gonna do anything on commission but in particular THAT ONE - mostly because 95% of people who ask about something like that don't understand how much it would cost ...
