Ahh gosh I don't remember what I posted about last time. Last week was mostly working on the Leia I was making for a friend. That's my new one on the left, hers on the right. I got it finished up on Thursday - and now I want to redo parts of mine, LOL. Namely that I made the dress a bit slimmer through the chest/waist. I want to ...
Friday night we had a birthday party to go to! And we were going to be playing an 80s Murder Mystery game, so we had to come as our characters. I was "Toni Oregano" who had 1 hit with "Hey Dickie" and who also ran a mogwai rescue. LOL. Chase was "Nork from Pork" who was on a popular tv series but now believes he's actually from planet Pork. I put ...
Friday Chase and I used our moviepass for the first time and went to see I, Tonya. It was good but the theater was FREEZING. Usually in the winter I take a blanket with me... I got this tiny little Olaf blanket from the Disney Movie Club a couple of years ago that fits in my purse and I can cover my legs up with it. But the past couple ...
Birthday blog month is over. Site look has been updated. Still need to update the art segment but I'll get to that in a bit here. Back to Tink! Round one of dyeing didn't turn out dark enough. So back in the dye once more. Better. I was left looking like I was ready to play Elphaba though. I didn't even realize I'd dripped it down my arms too until ...
Ok so wow... my expensive fabric I ordered for Amidala is ALREADY HERE. I was prepared to wait a month for it, because it was coming from India. I ordered it last Friday and it arrived Tuesday. WOW! It's not perfect, but I think the pattern is good and has been the closest I could find in a decent fabric (found plenty in a cotton...). It's a little sheer, but ...
So I've come to the last post for my week of fav costumes blog posts/notable moments. This post will cover 2014 til now! January 17, 2014 - FAQ FRIDAY: RENTING COSTUMES 2014 starts off with a rant-y post. Like who thinks I am just going to give a random stranger one of my costumes?! January 23, 2014 - SEWING ROOM – FINISHED! 5 years into having my own sewing room... I finally got it to its "finished" ...
Today's post covers my favourite posts/notable memories from my costumes category, starting in 2010 and going through 2013! January 15, 2010 - CLEANING MY OFFICE, COSTUME SCHEDULES I spent a good part of the late part of 2009/early 2010 getting my sewing room in order. And of course making some plans. February 8, 2010 - JANE AND BATGIRL UPDATES Boy talk about stuff that didn't happen. I was supposed to do Jane and Batgirl for Anaheim. ...
Today's post covers my favourite/notable costume blog posts from 2006-2009. These were some pretty busy years, sewing wise - but a lot of it was just more of the same, there's not a lot that's notable off the top of my head. So let's see if this ends up being as long as 2003-2005 was... January 7, 2006 - ONE PIC FROM SHADOWCON Ash and I went up to Shadowcon for ...
This post is dedicated to my fav/notable/memorable costume moments of 2003-2005! I did a lot of costumes in 2003. More than any other year to date. But that's because a lot of them weren't made - they were "piece mealed" together out of stuff I bought. (I don't do a lot of that anymore.) 2004 was a transitional year. I started moving around from doing anime costumes - in fact, ...
This week the theme for my Birthday Blog posts is costumes! There's a ton of posts to go through for this week, so let's get to it. October 25, 1998 - WHEN I THOUGHT ABOUT HALLOWEEN COSTUMES In 1998 I kinda threw together a last minute costume for Halloween - I'll get to that in a minute - but while I was thinking about it I decided to think about what I wanted ...
