More Hocus Pocus progress

I just about finished my Hocus Pocus costume. Just need to finish reenforcing the eyelets, and put a closure on the skirt.

So it took me a week longer to finish my embroidery project than I expected, on top of going to Minnesota for a weekend trip to see my in-laws last weekend. So I was feeling a little stressed the other day, and really buckled down and tried to finish some stuff last night. And I did! I finished the embroidery, and almost finished the bodice (just need to re-enforce my ...

Attn my velvety friends

I have finally finished the sleeves, and started attaching them. I decided to re-do mine, again, since I am a masochist, apparently.

The Time Lord & Witch sweatshop

Three Time Lord robes in-progress Derek's needs the sleeve pieces sewn together, Chase's has the sleeves cut but I need to go through and put the stabilizer and interfacing and lining on. I took mine apart to recut the lining of the main body and the sleeves. I've got one other side to unpick tonight, then I can cut the new pieces and get it put back together. And while ...

Time Lord costume progress

This weekend Derek came down and we worked on Time Lord stuff! Got some work done on the first collar... And I got Derek's robe done pretty far along! I fixed some issues I had on mine . For his, I still need to finish the other pieces of the sleeves, put it together, and sew both sleeves together and put them on. I've started on Chases's with what leftover fabric ...
