I once again skipped posting on Monday because I had nothing of importance to post. I did actually sew a little bit last night so I'm posting today. I spent most of yesterday afternoon listing stuff on ebay. For a couple of months now we've been stacking stuff we want to sell/donate in the dining room, and I just hadn't had the energy to start anything with it. Here's ...
...until I had more content to post this week, thus why I didn't post Monday. Monday would've just been a whole bunch of gifs I made on the reface app. LOL. I did not do much sewing the past week. I guess I did so much last weekend that I took a break LOL. How often do I get to take a weeklong sewing break in August? Last time that ...
That's me today. Because I found these shoes for my disneybound Leia and they were too dang expensive and there's no way I'm spending that much but now everything else I look at is just (me crying thinking about the jordans). I think what I'm going to do is find some cheap plain white high tops and just do some silver vinyl rebel symbols for them on my silhouette. Anyway. ...
So my big plans for sewing all weekend and getting lots of stuff done were foiled by fabric! Namely by the fact I can't buy/find the fabric I need locally anymore EVER (*cough*Joann*cough*) so I have to buy online and hope what comes is what I need - either that or pay, wait 2 weeks on a fabric swatch, go back, buy fabric, wait another week on fabric ...
I don't have a ton to post about this week! Didn't do much last week other than go to work. Saw Endgame again Wednesday afternoon. I had a migraine Tues-Thurs so it was a struggle to make myself go sew or do anything. I did get the yoke for Jedi Leia version 2 assembled. Here's the outer grey piece and the lining/batting piece laid out. I actually got pretty close ...
Seasonal allergies can DIAF. I took a benedryl last night before bed and this morning my eyes are still itching like crazy, it's driving me mad. Anyway. Let's talk sewing since that's the first thing in my pics for today. Last Monday I got home from work to a happy mail day! Star Trek TNG uniform pattern! WOO White knit for jedi Leia! But I wasn't super stoked about the ...
my brain's not working today. Let's start with fabric I bought in Atlanta. New Crait Leia fabric. This was the most expensive stuff I bought. Liked how it has that tinge of a browner-grey in some lights and desaturated grey in others. It's got a texture that looked fairly close to the close-ups of the cape. It's not exact, again, but it'll be a step in the right direction. I ...
Well this weekend was weird. To start off with, last night, I woke up in the middle of the night totally confused. We have a clock in our bedroom that shines the time up onto the ceiling. We haven't changed it since daylight savings so it's been an hour behind. I woke up at one point and was like "it was 3AM last time I woke up why is it 3...
I nearly forgot it was Monday and time to make my weekly post! So last week I took a break from working on Chase's suit - we'd gotten the fabric ordered and it was scheduled to arrive Wednesday, so I took that time to do something fun before diving back into the horror that is men's tailoring. First set was some Avengers ears! Originally I was going to do a ...
So last week - I think it was Wednesday night - I had a complete and utter breakdown over the pants of Chase's suit, cried a little bit, and threw the mockup in the trash. The suit pattern I'm using - do you know how many pattern pieces are in the pants alone? About 25. The front pockets are 6 pieces each. 12 pieces all together just for the pockets. WTF. It was ...
