I finished my Arwen dress! Ok, haha, so maybe not. But I did get the new fabric! Thanks so much to padawansguide for pointing me to syfabrics.com! I've still got to take the black fabric back (not a problem, they know me there), and send back the white fabric. I also finally bought my trim... should be arriving soon. I got my fabric parts for Leia yesterday, too. I ...
First off - I actually won the Amidala Look a Like Contest at Cosplaylab. I couldn't believe it, there were so many good entries, and people I knew - I was hoping to get maybe honorable mention, but - yay! It made my weekend. SO I didn't get Yuuko *completely* finished - I'm going to get it finished for MTAC next year. I didn't attach the sleeves to the bodice, ...
Jupiter isn't going to be ready for A-Kon. Why? Because it's about two weeks til A-Kon and I haven't bought a single thing for it. Which wouldn't be a giant problem except I got so much left to do on Yuuko, there's no time to worry with Jupiter. :( Oh well - I'll do it for MTAC next year! Speaking of Yuuko - I finally got the extensions so I started ...
I've actually been working on stuff! Yay, me. I finally got the serger correctly threaded to do the rolled edges for the petals, and have since made about 30 petals... and it was SO FAST!! *_* It would have taken me Iforever/I to do it on the regular sewing machine. I think I'm in love, haha. I painted my shoes for Padme - I wasn't going to, they were ok looking, ...
tentative schedule for next year: Shadowcon (jan 7-8, Memphis) nothing new - only going on saturday, will probably just wear Ozma. MidSouthCon (April 1-3, Memphis) Padme Parade gown (which is what I'm working on now - I have 3 months to finish it, so it *should* be done... if not, it'll be at CIII) Celebration III (April 21-24, Indianapolis) Qui-Gon Jinn (for my dad) Mara Jade (MAYBE... it all depends on ...
I don't think I'm going to do Arwen's Blood Red Dress for the ROTK opening anymore; it's just... I dunno. Iwant to do something else. Which one of these do you guys like better? I would rather not do Eowyn, because I don't want to wear a wig at the theater, but I like her dresses a lot so I'm adding them in. If I do one I'll probably go ...
I would just like to say here that I do not want to be a babysitter and tour guide at Dragoncon. That is all. Anyway. Other than that, I'm SO looking forward to Dragoncon. FINALLY a convention where all 3 or us - me, ash and cath - are together. So, so excited. God, Cath is going to LOVE dragoncon. I already know me and Ash love Dragoncon :D I don't ...
OK ok ok last post for today I swear!! Mom wants me to make Arwen's Blood Red Dress for Dragoncon/ROTK opening. But it's just not interesting me. I mean, it's very pretty, but making it would be just like making the Eowyn dress again, or my Chase outer dress. It's pretty much the same. You know what I want to do? I wanna go as Aragorn. I think it ...
