Let's start with costume stuff for this week. Here's my Star Trek dress as of a week ago, still had to put the collar on which I thought would be easy but... the pattern had very sparse directions for doing this. there was no pattern piece included, just "measure the neckline and cut a length of black fabric and sew on" So that's what I initially did and immediately was ...
Nothing like a slightly different angle of morning sun (like time change) to really show you how dusty your work desk is. Gotta get the swiffer up here. I spent last week working on my Star Trek skant. Got the panels put together It was overall way too big so spent one afternoon sitting in just the new bra getting it fitted down, especially through the shoulders and sleeve openings. ...
Let's jump right in - my undergarments for my star trek dress came in Tuesday! Yay! Unfortunately did not fit. Boo. Ok so the cincher is just a little bit big and doesn't seem to do anything, I think I should have sized down, but I'll just take up the back seam, nbd. But the bra... ok so the bra fit great through my underbust/ribcage/shoulders which is saying ...
I was not feeling my WFH office today so I'm camping under the dining room table. Change of pace. Not much sewing progress to share this week. But! My undergarments for my star trek uniform are arriving today! Here's hoping I hear the delivery person so I can sign for it and I don't have to wait another day. I did get the panels for the dress cut. Haven't started ...
Nothing like having an unusually busy day at work, feeling like my brain is being pulled into 15 directions, and our neighbors decide to fire up their 2 gas-powered leaf blowers. My brain feels like it's going to explode. I just had to go find headphones and block out the noise so I don't go mad. So anyway, the last week has been tiresome. Work has been nuts in general and I ...
oh hi there Leia is pretty much done. I sewed down the support ribbon in the center back, finished sewing on the swirls on the lower sleeves, and i finALLY tried it all on to mark off where I need to cut and attach the ribbon belt. I haven't done the belt attachments yet - that will be tonight. But i'd been avoiding doing that for a while just because ...
I've had Eyes Without a Face stuck in my head all morning and I have no idea why. Before I dive into sewing news let's talk about the generic life stuff. Ice storm last week, again. Fun. Saturday things were cleared up and warmer so we went out to run some errands and also checked out some places we've never been. Also discovered this: This was by the dumpster at ...
Guess what! I actually come to you today with sewing updates. It's not a LOT to show but I did get a good amount done and it's making me feel good about at least having the dress done by next weekend. Note I said dress, not costume... lol I FINALLY got the back floral pieces cut. That's kinda why I kept delaying this, I was a little scared to cut ...
Oh hey so yeah I totally didn't post last week. Monday was crazy busy I was like, I'll just do it tomorrow and then I forgot. Not like I really had much to post about anyway. Outside of the photoshoot I have basically done nothing except play Star Wars Lego. Let's start with the interesting stuff - photoshoot results! Hild Ok so Hild even after being let out does not ...
Hey if you saw my photoshoot post from Friday you might have seen me mention I wanted to do another photoshoot day while everything was still set up... Well we're doing it this weekend. What am I shooting? First up - HILD! I've had Hild on my list to get shot for a looooong time because in the back of my brain I'm always like "you can't wear Urd again ...
