Starfire & Gaga updates

So last night I finished installing the bra in the front of Starfire. I'm really nervous about wearing it. I'm going to be taped to high-heaven, but it's been a long time I've worn something like this and I'm worried. I went ahead and sewed the boots back onto the bodysuit, too - I just need to fix the brooch (a bunch of the beads fell out, chase painted some ...

to-do list 8/25/10

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 ...

Lady Gaga Updates… or something

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 ...

Supergirl progress pics

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. ...

it’s friday: Alyss and Supergirl updates

last night's viewing: mst3k, Laserblast! I dug around looking for various bits and bobbles but couldn't find what I was looking for at all. :( I pulled out Surprise #1 again, got the zipper put in and the sleeves finished and on. Now! I've got previews of both Surprise #1 and Surprise #2. #1 is on the left, #2 is on the right. #2 is not staying like that, as sad as it makes me, because ...

progress… Alyss and Gaga

last night's viewing: more mst3k - since chase had my computer, couldn't watch netflix. Mostly did stuff on Surprise #2 - was working on the embellishment on the front. I'm not 100% happy with it but I don't want to tear it off and re-do it in something else, so I'm just going to have to figure it out. Bought more stuff for Gaga today - namely, my wigs. Saturday I ...

Ame-Comi Supergirl progress

last night's viewing: The rest of the Anne Boleyn segment, half of the Jane Seymour segment. I'm getting too into it; wanting to watch it instead of sew! Last night was all more work on Surprise #2 (Supergirl). I'm going to have to get spandex in a matching colour to my vinyl to finish the shoes, the vinyl won't curve around the shape. I got some of the trim cut out ...
