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, ...
Before I jump into the weekend photos, I'll cover the few things from the week before... I'm going to have to get more fabric to finish the mock-up for Padme. I do think I finally figured out the hood pieces -- I transferred the hood and cape mockup pieces to paper. I still need to figure out fitted sleeves, the bodice pieces and the skirt of course... all the fabric ...
Even though I said "no" to April Fool's Day last week, I did make something for it: It cracks me up how well this went together for 5 seconds in photoshop LOL Monday I got my Padme lake dress cardigan from maxxmerch! I love it!! Plus it came with a pin, a print and a keychain!! I filmed an unboxing video, got it edited and uploaded to tiktok... where it stayed ...
I think I have finally decided what to take to Huntsville: 1. Honeymoon Leia 2. Packing Padme 3. Chip & Dale 4. Sailor Jupiter And I may also throw Seven in since she doesn't take up a lot of room, so no big deal if I don't get around to wearing her. Based on last year I don't think I'll have time for more than 4, especially since we're not going over Sunday at all. ...
We're back from Atlanta! We went down to celebrate Chase's birthday. But, as usual, let's start at the beginning. Finished Honeymoon Leia FINALLY. Just got to put a closure on the belt and add the 3d printed pieces Chase is working on. And it needs steamed really bad because it's been manhandled like crazy the last few weeks. Luna says hi I've been wanting this bag for a while and ...
I have got nothing to post this week really. Yes I could've finished my Leia dress. Did I? No, in fact I made it worse. I did get my belting and tried it on with the dress. I'm still not happy with how lumpy the waist-seam looks EVEN THOUGH it's hidden. I think I said in a previous post I'd been wishing I'd made the purple "skirt" as a separate ...
I don't have a lot to chat about this week EXCEPT costume stuff. I worked on Honeymoon Leia every night last week and almost all of that was me monkeying with the back zipper. It took me forever to get it installed without it pulling at the bottom weird. TBH I don't know what I was thinking doing the zipper the way I planned and did - I kinda wish ...
