I have a costume. Well, almost. I 95% have a costume. I'm really pleased with how quickly it came together. It has a couple of issues, the zipper is kinda funky and I should have gotten black instead of nude, but ah well. I need to move the snaps on the skirt in a little - it's a little too loose where they are now, and I need to paint my ...
A little update on, well, everything. Lady Gaga: Haven't touched it, needing more fabric. I did get my shoes. I need to order fabric for the bodysuit, and also my wigs. This one still has the most work left on it. I'd say it's at 20% Black Widow: Got my wig, wristbands are nearly done, need to put my belt together. I'd say it's at 75% Surprise #1: Been making ruffles. Need to ...
OMG OMG
last night's viewing: mst3k Monster a-go-go I got the sleeves cut out and hemmed, the skirts cut out and finished, except for attaching them together at the sides. Tonight will be working on the design on the front. I'm hoping I can get it pretty finished tonight.
last night's viewing: mst3k: crash of the moons I cleaned my office, then started cutting out pieces for MJ. Got the bodysuit cut out but not sewn together - I want to sew the front design on before I sew the pieces together. Started cutting pieces out of my blue fabric - cut the front skirt, anyway. Made a mockup of the sleeves before I cut my fabric - ...
last night's viewing: Interview w/the Vampire Didn't get a lot done. Almost got one of the shoes for Surprise #2 done. Given up on finishing the dress for the formal thing simply because my black satin has gone missing. It's been floating around my fabric bin for 4 years and now it's gone... lame. Going dress shopping tonight w/my mom.
last night's viewing: 2 mst3ks. I did a lot of sewing, but none of it was for dragoncon. I pulled out a dress I started making back in 2006 to see how much was left to do on it. I got the skirt finished off and the top put together, and started looking at the waistband. I'm giving myself tonight to finish it - if I don't, I don't wear it ...
Yesterday's viewings: All MST3ks: Jack Frost (again), The Beast of Yucca Flats and half of Lost Continent. (also some random stuff on tv while doing some hand-sewing in the living room). The bodice of Surprise #2 is finished! Well, except for embellishments. Made the skirt, got it attached, made the sleeves, got the embellishments on them finished. They're a little iffy looking in places but I'm leaving it for now. ...
Last night's movie of choice: The Royal Tennenbaums Just more work on the bodice. More hand-sewing than I expected. Got a little more of that to do today then I can finally get those grommets in. Got both my Black Widow AND Surprise #2's wigs in the mail yesterday. Love my Black Widow one, Surprise #2's I was a little disappointed in, but I think we can make it work.
last night's movie of choice: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind I started out with dyeing my Mara Jade/Arica netting - I couldn't quite get it dark enough with either dye, though. So now it's dry and I'm considering what step to take next. I need to order my skintone fabric soon - I've tried looking locally and can't find anything. Then to work on the bodice for Surprise #2. ...
