I got a lot done this weekend and I am sore AF. But first let's talk about the happy things! My besties got married Friday! Chase and I took the day off work and went downtown to the courthouse with them. It was really cool and very sweet and then we ran around downtown taking some more pics around the area. Then we went and had a good lunch. So ...
Fully back to real life now, ew. I don't know that I want to post anymore "Dark Lady" progress pics right now. I feel like if you watched the source material, you will recognize it at this point. But I did make good progress on it this weekend. My trim fabric arrived, I got it all cut apart and pressed and sew in place on the costume. It's all done ...
groundbreaking! I did nothing this weekend except sew. It was marvelous. First up, on the "Dark Lady" costume - my swatch came in and looked great! So I ordered a yard and it's shipped, should be here next week and then I can finish up that costume. So that's 2 down - onto #3? As I said last post I got started on my Multiverse of Madness Wanda FINALLY. I've had the ...
Hey I've got real costume progress to show yall today! First, I decided early last week I wanted to dye my Troi fabric. It was just too bright. Thankfully I had a bottle of graphite. I came up with a formula and did some tests. Bottom fabric is the original undyed. I had to do it in batches because it was too much fabric for my pot to do all ...
Well hi. I do actually have costume updates this week. But first let's get everything else out of the way. 4.5 weeks post-surgery -- I feel like 99.9% normal. Remember just a week ago I said crawling around on my sewing room floor to work on costumes left me sore so I needed to take it slower? Well I did take it slower, but I spent a good bit of time crawling ...
Guess what? I'm coming at yall live from my new laptop! Chase did try to fix my computer, ordered a new battery, etc. But the writing had already been on the wall for that laptop; it was buggy and super slow, and photoshop did not like it at all, I'd regularly have weird things happening in photoshop because the graphics processor couldn't keep up. We'd been shopping for a new ...
Finally! Ok as usual let's start with what I SAID I wanted to make in 2024 at the end of 2023, and see how I did: 1. Honeymoon Leia - YES! This was kind of a given considering it was mostly done when I made this list in December 2023. 2. Star Wars Cruise Dress - YES! Turned out so cute! 3. Baylan and Shin - YES! Though I still need to drag Chase in front ...
