Can dragoncon just be here so I don't have to keep sewing?? LOL I've almost got Belle done. All the swags are finished, they just need to be attached, and then beading and roses. Here's a shot from last night. And here's my Batgirl belt "buckle." Along with a bracelet my husband made for me out of one that didn't work LOL
We leave in one week. Things are in pretty good order. Still got a lot to do but it feels manageable now. I made the last swags for Belle's dress last night. Needs some tweaking but I can finish them tonight and get them sewn on, then I can finish off the skirt and all that's left is beading and stuff. Chase has caught a summer cold. He's staying home ...
We are getting close!! Group costumes #1: Totally, completely done. Group costumes #2: Need Ash to bring hers back over so I can sew some velcro on. Cut hoops for it just in case we decide to use them. Still can't make up my mind. Wasp: Chase painted my headphones last night. Should be dry today? Make black sleeves Batgirl: Everything is done except the gauntlets. Finished the gloves yesterday. Belle: Finish ...
Yesterday I cleaned my office from top to bottom. It took most of the morning but my office is a much more pleasant place to be now. I then tackled Batgirl again, instead of Belle like I said I was going to. I finished the boots - the top's a little more wrinkly than I'd like but at this point we're going with it. I got all the snaps for ...
Finished Cath's Winnie costume, minus the belt buckle piece on the front. I've got the pieces ready for the buckle piece, I'm going to put them together today and pin them on, I need to try it on her one more time to make sure I don't get it too tight. I may just lightly sew it in place, or put some velcro down, and then just adjust it or ...
We have 11 days left to finish these costumes. At least four of those days are weekend days where we don't have to go anywhere! I've been working on Belle pretty much all week, and Chase is working on Beast. To-do list: Belle: Finish last organza swag for the bottom of the skirt Sew skirt swags together Make waistband, finish off skirt Put zipper in finish beading Attach roses (I'll probably ...

Got a lot done this weekend. The group costumes are totally done except for a hook and eye on mine. Ash's costume is done except for sewing some greeblies on the bottom. Cath's costume needs the front piece sewn in ( can't do until she comes to try it on on wednesday), sew the trim on, sew the lower sleeves in, and the ribbon up the front. And finish the wig. ...
Still plugging along, but I don't have much to show since for the past week I've been working nonstop on the two group costumes. One group is completely done except sewing on some hook and eyes and velcro. The other group is about 70% there and my plan is to have it done by Saturday. That leaves me two solid weeks to finish up Batgirl and Belle. For Belle: -Style wig ...
