    C2E2 2013!

    We will be at C2E2 next weekend! I’m really excited because I’ve always wanted to go! I’ll be wearing Ms Marvel and my brand new Fionna (Adventure Time) costumes on Friday, and Donna Noble on Saturday! If you see me please say hi!

    You guys

    I’m so excited!!! There’s been a costume I’ve wanted Chase to do since we MET and he’s agreed to do it this year for Dragoncon! Which kinda throws my Dragoncon schedule into a tizzy because now there’s a costume I want to make for myself to go with his and that’s stuffing my schedule a little too full, so something…

    Romana I start!

    I got Romana I started this weekend. I originally bought 8 yards of fabric – the Jet Set Poly from Joann’s. I bought 8 yards because, besides needing extra for the pleated section, I’m also self-lining it since it’s so thin. I’m using good old Simplicity 9891 – mine has been used so many times it looks like a giant…

    Another Fionna pic

    I actually still haven’t finished those little things I mentioned last tie (velcro on the hat, etc) but I fixed the top hem of the skirt, so I took a slightly better pic of it. One without a fake pipe sticker.

    Costume Updates: Fionna 99% done

    The only other time I’ve even posted about Fionna was last weekend when I nearly had the backpack done; I haven’t even posted my pics of it. I wasn’t expecting to have it done for a couple more weeks (it’s for C2E2), but I made a big push yesterday and knocked almost everything out. All that’s left is a velcro…

    Fionna and Romana Updates

    I got a lot of sewing done this weekend; I mostly finished my Fionna backpack, which I will upload pics of soon. I’m still figuring out the back section, and I need to attach the straps. It was a pain in the butt, and I should have just bought one, but now that I’ve made it I’m sticking with it.…

    Deep Cosplay Thoughts

    Chase & I were talking today and the subject of a certain, very large, costuming website came up. He asked it people even still use it; I told him yes, all the time, that’s part of its’ problem. You upload something now and it’s buried as soon as it posts, because there are so many users now. You’re lucky to…

    Lady Mary Costume Planning

    I finally decided which Edwardian dress I wanted to do; I’m going to do Lady Mary’s red and black dress from the first season of Downton Abbey. (this one) I’m hoping I can either get away with my own hair, or use the wig I’m getting for Romana I with it. Anyway, I’ve picked out my fabric for the main…

    Romana I Costume Planning

    Yay, first post on my Romana I costume! I finally started scouting some fabric today. I ended up buying some fabric from Joann’s online, for the dress. I also scouted out some furry feathery things for the cape. I have a good bit of yardage of white fur from Emma leftover, I don’t think it’s enough, but it’s a start.…

    More New Costume Pics: Time Lord and Wasp!

    Here’s some more new costume pics we took recently! My Time Lord robes: (Should have made Chase put his on and taken shots of him, too, but didn’t think about it!) And Wasp: I uploaded my favourites to my portfolio and the rest are over somewhere in my smugmug account.

    New costume pics: Boushh and Donna Noble!

    Here’s a few new costume pics we took recently. Boushh: Decided to take some shots of Boushh just because my cousin was doing some of his Luke Skywalker, so I did Leia-as-Boushh to do some matching shots. I still don’t have a new helmet and it’s in some desperate need of repairs (my blaster was a mess.) but it’s great…

    Life update

    Well I figured I’d write some about stuff that’s been going on lately. I’ve been trying to sew some stuff for my etsy store but haven’t had a ton of time; after getting back from Disney Indy got really sick. It was back and forth from the vet to the animal hospital to the vet – they finally diagnosed her…
