Group progress: Time Lord Updates

All Time Lords, all the time this weekend. Derek's is completely done YAY... mine is done except for putting on some hook and eyes. Chases's just need hems and to finish the belt. Ash still needs a lot, but I think I'm finally to the point it's like sleep walking, so I'm hoping to be done with ALL of it by tuesday. Here's some pics from the weekend. The collar: ...

Costume Progress Collage

I made this yesterday and forgot to post it last night. A little collage of everything I'm working on:

I have pants

I finished my Batgirl pants. Only took two tries. But they fit decently well... and I never want to make pants without a pattern ever again. So tonight I will start on the waist section.... I dyed Cath's Winnie costume last night. Seems to have turned out pretty well, although I ran out of one colour to mix with the main colour, so had to improvise to finish it off. ...

Working, or not… Batgirl stuff

So I don't have a lot to show right now. I've been on some meds than been irritating my stomach really bad, to the point it's hard to do much of anything except lay on the couch and rub my stomach. Today is my last day on the medicine, though, so hopefully it'll be better soon. I did get Cath's outer dress done for her Winnie costume, did my test ...

Finally, some Belle progress

I spent all day working on Belle. I got the bodice pieces sewn together, and the eyelets put in the back. I pinned on my trim to see if I still liked it. Haven't decided whether or not to use it yet. Then I started working on the shoulder piece. The shoulder piece is finished except for the back where the pieces meet - need to try it on and ...

Costume Progress and a Giant Photo of a Book

So, haven't had much to post lately. I finished up the main part of Ash's Mary costume, I'm quite happy with how it turned out. We just need to get her shirt fabric, and making the shirt won't take long. Hem her skirt and weather it all and we're good to go and I can mark another one off my list. I did get a good start on Cath's Winnie ...

Wasp Costume Progress

Basically finished up Wasp. I want to fix one spot on the back of the skirt and I miiiight shorten it a tad (I was worried it was going to be too short but I think it ended up a tiny bit too long). I need to make the upper black glove sections, and the headphones. Ordered my wig friday :) The best part is that the yellow gloves and boots ...

A rough idea of my Belle Costume

And I do mean rough I got the skirt pleated, and finished the basic corset. I got the outer bodice pieces cut and pinned together. I just pinned the fabric swoop on to get an idea of how the bodice was going to look with the skirt. I still have more fabric to buy (going tomorrow) before I can continue at this point. But I can see it forming now ...

Oops: Updates & a Sleeping Beauty GIF

Sorry no new updates. I know I promised pics but haven't gotten around to it! I'm almost done with Wasp, hopefully finishing up her dress tonight, and bought my wig tonight. I'll take some progress pics tonight. I cut out Belle's bodice last night, putting it together today. Made the mockup for my cousin's costume and it actually fit right first attempt. Very proud of myself! The biggest news though ...
