We leave in one week. Things are in pretty good order. Still got a lot to do but it feels manageable now. I made the last swags for Belle's dress last night. Needs some tweaking but I can finish them tonight and get them sewn on, then I can finish off the skirt and all that's left is beading and stuff. Chase has caught a summer cold. He's staying home ...
We are getting close!! Group costumes #1: Totally, completely done. Group costumes #2: Need Ash to bring hers back over so I can sew some velcro on. Cut hoops for it just in case we decide to use them. Still can't make up my mind. Wasp: Chase painted my headphones last night. Should be dry today? Make black sleeves Batgirl: Everything is done except the gauntlets. Finished the gloves yesterday. Belle: Finish ...
We have 11 days left to finish these costumes. At least four of those days are weekend days where we don't have to go anywhere! I've been working on Belle pretty much all week, and Chase is working on Beast. To-do list: Belle: Finish last organza swag for the bottom of the skirt Sew skirt swags together Make waistband, finish off skirt Put zipper in finish beading Attach roses (I'll probably ...
Still plugging along, but I don't have much to show since for the past week I've been working nonstop on the two group costumes. One group is completely done except sewing on some hook and eyes and velcro. The other group is about 70% there and my plan is to have it done by Saturday. That leaves me two solid weeks to finish up Batgirl and Belle. For Belle: -Style wig ...
I made this yesterday and forgot to post it last night. A little collage of everything I'm working on:
I spent all day working on Belle. I got the bodice pieces sewn together, and the eyelets put in the back. I pinned on my trim to see if I still liked it. Haven't decided whether or not to use it yet. Then I started working on the shoulder piece. The shoulder piece is finished except for the back where the pieces meet - need to try it on and ...
So, haven't had much to post lately. I finished up the main part of Ash's Mary costume, I'm quite happy with how it turned out. We just need to get her shirt fabric, and making the shirt won't take long. Hem her skirt and weather it all and we're good to go and I can mark another one off my list. I did get a good start on Cath's Winnie ...
And I do mean rough I got the skirt pleated, and finished the basic corset. I got the outer bodice pieces cut and pinned together. I just pinned the fabric swoop on to get an idea of how the bodice was going to look with the skirt. I still have more fabric to buy (going tomorrow) before I can continue at this point. But I can see it forming now ...
So. Here's some pics like I promised. Here's my new Belle wig, haven't done anything to it, but I'm really pleased with it. And then I've got a lot of red stuff. And here's the cutest thing ever.
I have been lost in a haze of velvet and iron-on stabilizer the past two weeks, so I'm sorry for the lack of updates. I'm going to be taking some pics and posting them this weekend, both here and facebook, I promise! In other news, I nabbed some taffeta at Joann's for super cheap. Was going to use a 50% off coupon but then it was on clearance, for more the ...
