FAQ Friday: What is a Convention like?

Today's question is... I've never been to a convention. What is it like? What do you do there? Boy, this is quite a question! I guess I can't just say, "it's where you go do fun stuff" like I used to tell my coworkers LOL I'll try to break it down into little pieces so I can make sense. This'll just be a general sort of overview meant for someone ...

FAQ Friday: I Would Do Anything for Costumes, But I Won’t Do That

Today's question is... Some people go all out for costumes, and I was curious, is there something you won't do? Where's the line for you? I'm actually pretty lazy. There's a lot I won't do, mostly just because of sheer laziness. "What, you mean I have to go out and BUY leather for this? screw that I have some vinyl in my stash I can paint and it'll be close ...

What a stupid snow day

It's not really a snow day. Last week they said, between Mon-Tues, we could possibly get between 3-6in of snow! Well we got none. Then out of nowhere this morning comes sleet and snow. Not a lot. But enough it delayed me going to work for 2 hours until the roads were clear. I was hanging out on the couch, watching the weather updates/news, and Indy comes snooping out ...

Johanna progress

So I started messing around with my Johanna costume, even though I still have other stuff to finish right now. I got the lining and most of the dress cut Sunday: I reaalllly like the fabric I got for the base dress and I'm kinda sad it's basically going to be covered up. Maybe I can figure out a way to leave the skirt uncovered. Anyway - I got the ...

FAQ Friday: How many wigs do I have?

Today's question is.... I'm just curious. You have so many costumes, how many wigs do you have and how do you store them? Oh gosh. I'm going to see if I can't think of all the wigs I've had. I'll put all this under a cut. (more…)

Sewing Room – finished!

I finally finished everything up last night and at last have a functional sewing room again. Indy is confused at finding she can actually walk into my office: Closet side: Desk side: I still have a ton of photos in frames I need to find a place for, but that can wait. Also need to organize my bins a bit better, but that's not an immediate concern. Tonight - sewing ...

new costume tags

Well I made some new tags on my side-menu there so I figured I ought to make a post to go with them... and updates on what I'm working on. 1. Silver Elf I haven't touched this in a year. Still can't decide what to do with the sleeves. 2. Elsa I've gotten some fabric samples and picked up a few options at fabric stores. I think I've got my top and ...
