Glinda and Padme Snowbunny updates

I've just about finished the snowbunny cape - I need to add the ties, the toppers for the boots and gloves, and fix my belt... please ignore the fact I'm in my pajamas LOL I got the glinda underdress dyed and dried and pinned on -- unfortunately it doesn't show up AT ALL once the outer dress is over it. Oh well - if the underdress shows while I walk ...

Forgot to mention…

Chase got Thursday and Tuesday off in addition to Friday for Dragoncon! So we'll be leaving at the crack of dawn Thursday morning - instead of 1 in the afternoon like last year. So we'll be able to pick up our badges Thursday instead of wasting 2-3 hours Friday morning with it. And! We'll be leaving Tuesday now! I'm REALLY excited about that, it's such a pain to leave the con ...

Snowbunny and Glinda progress

I finished the basic cape for Snowbunny Padme friday - went home today and found my trim and started sewing it on tonight. Unfortunately I ran out of thread about half way through! Stupid tiny travel sewing kits. I've got about a foot of it pinned on, so despite the pic below it's not as done as I'd like. Chase is bringing me some more when he gets here later ...

win!

The seller emailed me back; she is sending the right boots monday and told me to keep the other pair as an apology. Awesome! LOL I'm sure I can use them for a costume at some point.

Black Canary boots

I've been making some good solid progress the past two days, and I was excited when what I thought were my Black Canary boots were delivered today... because that was the last piece I needed, so I could make the yellow straps and be done with it. Unfortunately the seller apparently sent me the wrong pair of boots. Instead of black motorcycle-esque, mid-calf boots, she sent me a pair of ...

fabric shopping!

Went to the fabric store last night, it was a successful trip! I got the lining for the snowbunny cape, the yellow satin I need for the "special" belle. I got my pattern for the wonder woman bodice. But best of all I found fabric for Glinda that I just squealed when I saw it. At first I thought there wasn't enough on the bolt - I wanted 10 yards - ...

So, Dragoncon Plans

Starfire - I got my wig, I need to start working on it - unfortunately my wighead clamp doesn't fit on any of our new counters or tables! D: Hopefully it will fit on the new work table I get pretty soon. I've got my fabric, and I got my boots in the mail today. I order the bodysuit... and Chase has been working on the gauntlets. I'm excited. WW ...

Starfire, Poison Ivy progress

Chase started on my gauntlets for Starfire today, they are looking pretty cool. This weekend I need to order my boots, and maybe go ahead and get the base wig, too. Haven't really done anything on Poison Ivy - but today I want to work on the boots. I need to go to the fabric store at some point and find something to cover the boots with. eta: he's also ...

Summer Costume plans

In a vague sort of order. 1. Poison Ivy I'm definitely doing this for Adcon in June -- I've got boots I'm going to mod (hopefully, I need to get them out and see what kind of shape they're in), going to reuse my Phoenix wig, and I've got a corset to mod on the way - should hopefully get here by the end of the week. We're house-sitting next week, ...
