A few weeks ago I did a post on "tips for new cosplayers" - and I was asked if I had any others. So I thought, I'll try to think of every tip I can, and as a result, here are my 120 Tips. 1. Do your research Find & save as many photos of the costumes you'd like to do as possible. The bigger the better. Find other people who have ...
I still can't completely decide what to take to Momocon. So thinking "outloud" here. I'm definitely taking Meg, since it's new and I should have it done in the next couple of weeks. I don't think I'll have time to also finish Johanna. It's was planned for Dragoncon anyhow so no big deal. I was planning on taking Belle - but I'm doing a photoshoot with her Sunday so that ...
Mooooooom how come Luke gets a lightsaber and I don't??
Today's question is... What kind of dressform do you have? My dressform's name is BooBooHead. I don't know why, for some reason mom and I started calling her that when we first got her. But I'm guessing you probably didn't want to know her name. She's a Prym-Dritz My Double dressform. I got her in 2004. I like her ok (and I apologize in advance for calling it a "her" throughout ...
Last night we went out for my mum's birthday, then I ran by the fabric store to pick up some seam tape. I was planning on working on my pleats, but Chase wasn't feeling good, and I had the beginnings of a migraine, so we both ended up in bed and asleep by 8:30. wow. Had weird dreams all night about being back at my old job. I wish my brain ...
So as I'm going through my old hard-drives and uploading new versions of my old pics, I've been coming across a LOT of stuff I've never uploaded before. So of course I'm uploading it just to have it available, though not really using it for anything. So, here's my Quidditch uniform on my dressform, for some reason I never used this: And that makes me really sad since I lost ...
So, Saturday I got my base dress cut and sewn together: And the interior support cut out and pinned together. Got my chiffon dyed: And cut, and started playing with pleats: I stopped because I really don't have a thread that matches very well, and if I'm going to be sewing the pleats down, I need it to match.
Yeah! We just booked our hotel room for MomoCon in Atlanta! I'm super excited to visit a new (for me) con, in one of my fav cities. It was up in the air if we were going to go, but now it's more than likely; so I'm entering panic mode in trying to finish up a couple of new things for it. I'm definitely going to try to finish at ...
Today's question is... Are there any costumes you started but never finished? Oh yes. I actually made a post about this a while back on my blog, so I'll just expound on that first list. Now, there's plenty of costumes I planned on making and never did - too many to list (but I'll touch on a few at the end) - for now I'll try to stick to costumes ...
I was hoping to get a lot of sewing done this past weekend but hardly did anything. I couldn't wrap my head around where I'd left off on Johanna. I cut out the gores for the skirt and that's about it. So I'm hoping to jump back in this weekend. I'd like to get the main bulk of the main dress done, and start drafting the chiffon parts. I really ...
