Arica Progress Pics

last night's viewing: mst3k Monster a-go-go I got the sleeves cut out and hemmed, the skirts cut out and finished, except for attaching them together at the sides. Tonight will be working on the design on the front. I'm hoping I can get it pretty finished tonight.

last night's viewing: mst3k: crash of the moons I cleaned my office, then started cutting out pieces for MJ. Got the bodysuit cut out but not sewn together - I want to sew the front design on before I sew the pieces together. Started cutting pieces out of my blue fabric - cut the front skirt, anyway.

costume catch up

So I posted my Dragoncon list the other day but didn't really go over it. I thought I'd post it again and update each. 1. Lady Gaga I've got the top basically made. I've got the organza cut to cover it, but haven't put it on yet - I'm worried I might run out since I'm using the same organza on costume #3, and if I do I don't want to end ...
