I took a few pics of things before I went to work this morning. My Starfire suit, just pinned on the dressform since I can't put it on there. Doesn't look that great pinned on, oh well, you get the idea anyway. The only part on this piece that's not finished is the front section - that will be attached to my undersuit, so I'm waiting to finish that part ...
I need to take some progress pictures, just haven't felt like it. I took apart Chase's tunic today and replaced the front panel that I ripped. I used the ripped front as a lining for it, so in the end it was a good thing, I guess. I decided not to use the fabric I got for my WW bottom - I pulled out the other fabric I had and ...
I remade my starfire suit today, and got it mostly finished. I think I want to take up the side sections a little more, though - will do that, tomorrow. fixed up my gloves and wig for the new "special" belle, and I finished the bodice for it, yesterday. It's basically done - I need to practice getting it on. I may tweak the gloves once more but that's it. ...
I finished the dress yesterday, outside of ironing it. it gave me some fits yesterday... my sewing machine did NOT like sewing through all of the layers of the top of the dress, plus it kept trying to eat the fabric. blargh. I hope to finish the wig tonight... Chase has been working on the crown, I don't think there's much left to do on it, either.
Took yesterday off work - got all of our weekend errands done a day early. Also worked on Glinda, and still working on it this morning. Zatanna progress: see what i mean about my zatanna hat looking a little too small? I won't have the replacement until right before dcon. I'm starting to freak out a little bit, dragoncon is looming closer... I'm hoping to finish Glinda this weekend... finally ...
I didn't do ANYTHING last night - I poked around my WW bodice and the Starfire suit, but didn't really DO anything. Watched Project Runway and got over my headache. I should be getting an integral part of Starfire - hopefully Saturday, if not, then on Monday. And then major parts of my WW costume middle of next week. Having those things will help things fall into place. Tonight it's ...
Last night, I had a headache, so I didn't get much done. I got the collar for the GA tunic finished and sewn in, and I took up the Starfire purple suit and started hemming it, but stopped when I realised it's still not fitting right around my hips. I'm going to take it to my parents' house tonight and get her to pin it for me again, while I've ...
worked on WW bodice again. did some fit work on the secret costume. got chase's GA tunic cut out and basically put together. Hanging on the dressform it kinda looks like I'm making a Legolas costume. tonights to-do: weather belle bodice stuff so i can finish sewing it on dye chiffon for belle bodice wrap get collar sewn on GA tunic finish taking up starfire suit
The local costume rental store will rent me a nice tophat for $20 for a week. sweet :)
Well let's see. The wig that I got that was too short? The seller wouldn't do anything about it, so last night I found some black hair extensions in my wig box and sewed them into the wig. It's all I could do. Got the jacket taken up, and I ended up having to attach the bottoms/briefs to my white shirt, because otherwise they wouldn't stay up high enough ...
