I feel much better about things at the moment. I was able to get the waistband and zipper onto the Gaga skirt last night with no issues, and it went onto the cage just fine and I started stitching it in place. I tried it on with the corset and it looks fine (though not so happy with the shape of the corset, might remake it one day if I ...
So my Lady Gaga is not going to be that good. My shoes and bodysuit are going to be rushed and not right - my wig's not going to be right - and I don't have enough hoops for the outside. My skirt's not great, the seams didn't match up even though I freaking did them all together and pinned them all at the same time on top of each ...

It's like 80% done. I'm really hoping to have it knocked out this weekend. Fingers crossed. The collar is almost finished - I need to make the little tubey things to go up the insides and attach them, and I need to sew my second line of snaps in place for it. I need to finish the edges of the neck drape and attach it, finish beading (not too terrible much ...
Night before last sucked - I got the evening off to a bang by stepping on a needle. And I don't mean just pricking my foot with it, oh no, it went clear through the side of my toe. Nice little piercing, I should have just slapped an earring on it and say I meant to do it. It hurt worse pulling it out than it did going in. Luckily ...
Last night was spent sewing on ruffles, and then finishing the edges of what's left to hand sew onto the bodice tonight. And also on wigs. I hate my wig for Surprise #2. I tried to make it work last night - added some wefts, straightened it (though it didnt like that much) and just tried to make it NOT look like a cheap $15 costume party 1950s-style wig (which it wasn't, ...
I seriously don't understand why people think it's fine to repost people's photos without permission. I'm generally ok with it, but when it's a personal photo and nobody asked - it's not cool with me. I'm tired of having to turn my personal photos "friends only" just because people don't have the common sense to ask. Anyway. Yesterday I finally finished the edges of all my chiffon, so that's done. ...
I meant to spent last night getting some small things done - donna troy belt, mara jade bracelets, etc. I ended up spending the entire evening cauterizing the edges of my chiffon ruffles, and I didn't even get halfway done. I really should have done it before I started sewing them on but hadn't made up my mind at that point whether I wanted to cauterize them or not.
Had a small disaster when the dye I had for my ruffles ended up not looking right. Ran out, bought some dye remover and some other colours to mix, came back and dumped all the ruffles in the remover, then redyed them. They ended up right after that but I wasted a lot of time with it. Once they were dry I cleaned them up and started attaching them... Last ...
I've been playing "Godfinger" on my phone for the past couple of days. Silly little game, but fun. Anyway - after work today I came home and cleaned the house so we wouldn't have to do it later, then we Chase got home we ran errands. Another fabric store trip (more chiffon and a zipper), the beauty store (blonde wefts that I think will work well for the Gaga wig), ...
