I've been working on my Belle costume again - started the shirt last weekend, but then ran into a wall finishing up my bodice. The bodice is from 2009 -- so there was a lot I didn't remember about it and a few issues that I had forgotten about. (same problem I'm having with the padme nightgown from 2006.) After nearly finishing it I had to go back and rip out hems ...
So I have nothing to work on - I finished my other puzzle, we can't finish painting... so I pulled out a couple of old projects I never finished. First up was Belle, my 3rd version of the village dress. I thought this was in pieces, but when I got it out and looked it over, it was really close to being "done" - I'm surprised I never finished it. ...
I planned to work on stuff this weekend - haven't gotten a thing done so far. I want to work on Belle, and I also need to make the little skirt-thingie for Chase's clonetrooper. The clonetrooper thing will be first on the list once I make myself go to the work room - earlier this week I started putting together the blue Belle top, so I want to finish getting ...
Secret project is FINISHED! I'll try to post pics tomorrow before we leave. I took these pics a while back, when I bought a new backdrop - I want to try to put together a nice book of some of my costumes, eventually. (Sort-of, to use a portfolio - I've got a nice setup for my artwork, but nothing for my costume-stuff) I finally thought to upload them... This is ...
Well since I'm mostly done for the year - outside of my little secret project - I'm gonna go ahead and post this. I've had it done for a while actually LOL At the beginning of the year, this is what I wanted to accomplish... keeping in mind that when I wrote this, Chase hadn't proposed yet and changed a lot of our plans for the year!! 1. Ceremonial Leia v.2 ...
I've finished my Belle village dress and have added it to my portfolio!
This week has been very hectic at work, I just finally finished editing the photos from this weekend and got them uploaded today. So we drove up to Nashville Friday night, had an awesome dinner with friends. :) Saturday we got up, and I put on Belle, and Chase and I headed over to the fairgrounds for the Nashville Comic/Horror Fest. We were supposed to have a 501st table, but, ...
On the left, the dress as it was on monday. On the inside, every seam was pinned up, so it looked really lumpy LOL. Also no zipper yet, and I had just pinned up the hem once to give me an idea of where to cut the excess off. On the right, as of last night - almost done - to-do: cuffs, collar, & ironing.
The blue dress is finished, except ironing. Got it all taken up, hemmed, and the sleeves fixed. The white shirt still needs the cuffs on the sleeves and the collar. Other than that, it's finished. I'm regretting my fabric choice on the shirt, though. Already! Geez. So, the upcoming Halloween-related events: Friday - leave for Nashville Saturday - Nashville Comic/Horror Fest. I'll be going in blue Belle (since it'll ...
Last night I dug around in the costume closet, found the 2006 blue Belle dress, and pulled the apron out. The apron was fine, it was with the dress I didn't like, so yay - I have an apron. I can't say I have an apron with NO work involved, because it was a pain in the butt to climb into that closet and find that stuff! It does, however, need ...
