Frustration, and Starfire progress

So the situation I talked about last time has at least come to some kind of resolution. The guy said yesterday that he was pulling my pieces that night, and that he would send it out today. I sent him a fedex slip for sat. delivery, so if it doesn't show up tomorrow that's our clue to start working on my backup. Chase's isn't going to be done at all. ...

I think everything will get done

I am feeling ok about getting everything done in time. The only thing I'm not feeling ok about are the pieces of my Wonder Woman (my chestpiece and belt to be exact) and Chase's Green Arrow that a friend of Chase's was making for us - he still hasn't sent them. It's going to SUCK if they don't come in time and I don't get wear WW after doing all ...

Wonder Woman progress pics

Making progress, feeling better about things. I got my new Starfire boots and made the new covers for them and finished them up last night. Chase airbrushed my bodysuit and I made my armband. There's not a lot left to do on Starfire - Chase is finishing up my collar, and painting that and the gauntlets... I just need to sew up the front of the bodysuit and attach the ...

various costume updates

I haven't posted in a few days, let me try to get caught up with where I'm at on stuff. Starfire - Chase got the chestpiece cut down, it looks so much better. Today we'll be airbrushing the suit, and once that's done I can finish hemming it. My new boots should be arriving tomorrow, and once they come I'll whip up new boot covers (won't be hard, I can ...

Starfire, Glinda, Ame-Comi WW Pics

I took a few pics of things before I went to work this morning. My Starfire suit, just pinned on the dressform since I can't put it on there. Doesn't look that great pinned on, oh well, you get the idea anyway. The only part on this piece that's not finished is the front section - that will be attached to my undersuit, so I'm waiting to finish that part ...

2 weeks til Dcon!

I need to take some progress pictures, just haven't felt like it. I took apart Chase's tunic today and replaced the front panel that I ripped. I used the ripped front as a lining for it, so in the end it was a good thing, I guess. I decided not to use the fabric I got for my WW bottom - I pulled out the other fabric I had and ...

Wig Problems and Updates

Well let's see. The wig that I got that was too short? The seller wouldn't do anything about it, so last night I found some black hair extensions in my wig box and sewed them into the wig. It's all I could do. Got the jacket taken up, and I ended up having to attach the bottoms/briefs to my white shirt, because otherwise they wouldn't stay up high enough ...

Starfire and Ame-Comi WW Progress pics

Chase brought up two things out of the shop that he's working on -- First up, my Starfire gauntlets. He's downstairs cutting the excess off of them right now. I won't be able to bend my hand outward at the wrist, but I can deal with that. Wonder Woman shins - This will probably give away which version I'm doing - you can see where he's drawn guidelines on these. ...

Lots of updates

Got the bodice of the new WW basically put together yesterday. I've got to figure out where my boning is so I can hopefully get it finished by this weekend. Starfire wig is coming along. I got one Starfire boot almost finished. I need to do a little more fitting around the upper portion, and hem the top edge. The other boot pieces are cut out, need to get it ...
