Today's fabric store run proved very fruitful!! For once. I got the bulk of Ashley's fabric. I'm not using what I got the other day, I don't like it. Not only am I happy with the colour this time, but they actually had enough of it!! Pink and yellow chiffon for Polychrome - the two colours they didn't have at Hobby Lobby the other day. So I've got everything I ...
I finished beading the organza last night ("Beading the organza"... sounds like a euphemism, haha) and finished part of the bodice. I hope to have Belle done this weekend, along with completely finishing Cinderella and Snow White's skirts, and getting a start on their bodices. I reckon I'll have all three finished by next weekend. Hopefully. Also got a start on Ash's costume, finally... and Polychrome.
For Belle... I've still got to hem the skirt, but I got the overlay finished and I'm about halfway through beading it. I got my shoes and spruced them up a bit, they're so gaudy they crack me up :D Tomorrow I'm going to tackle the rest of the skirt, and try to finish the beading so I can go ahead and attach that and get the zipper put in. ...
I got my gloves and Cath's gloves in the mail today - Cath's are perfect, but mine were too light. (very, very pale yellow) I got some dye out and dyed them - they turned out pretty good. They match the fabric pretty well now. Am pretty happy. I got my basic skirt made for Belle, and laid out the pattern for Cinderella... But tomorrow I'm heading to my grandmother's ...
Went on a buying spree this morning! First, the Disney project: Belle (Me) It's coming along. My mom's ballroom hoopskirt is perfect for it. I got my yellow-gold material for the dress - it's exactly what I wanted from a few months ago. At first I couldn't find out and was bummed because I didn't like anything else at the store. Then my mum found a roll of it on ...
I'm still in San Diego - our flight is at 12:30 today... we're already packed so we're just hanging out in the hotel room. I do NOT feel good... I woke up this morning with my eyes and throat hurting - this is what Ash and I call the "Famiglia." Don't ask. Now I get to look forward to travelling all day... we have a 4 hour flight to Detroit, and then ...
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 ...
