Last night I spent most of my time digging through closets looking for costume pieces. Where-ever my Lady Blackhawk belt was, it wasn't labeled, so I just had to look in every costume box to figure out where it was. (I finally found it in my Ms Marvel box.) I also pulled out everything else I needed for this year, and got Emma out so I could fix the cape ...
So! Yesterday, I started kinda packing, almost finished embroidering my pants, then Chase and I ran errands and fell asleep on the couch. Today we got up early and went and had breakfast, then a couple more errands. Came home and got to work on stuff. I finally broke down and dyed my wig. Been scared of doing it. It was kind of a dusky pink at first, which I ...
I got some decent work done last night! And took pics! This one is actually from night before last. Gollum made my Donna Runaway Bride earrings for me. I worked on the corset for the last costume for a bit - got the straps added, cleaned up some loose threads. Then I patterned out my skirt and cape. Thankfully I had JUST enough fabric (though I wish I'd had more ...
So we're in the final stretch here. We have 20 days before we leave. I've got to get a lot done this weekend. 3 of my costumes are pretty much finished - Donna Runaway Bride is totally done, Trillian is totally done. Romana I and Supergirl are at like 90%. The other new costume is only at like maybe 40% but I've been having to wait on Chase to finish some things before I ...
Yesterday I didn't do much in the way of sewing. I got Chase's Zaphod pants altered to fit, I just need to hem them and add the panels to turn them into bell bottoms and they're done. I spent most of the night creating the widow's peak on my Belle wig. What an annoying process. It should have probably been a little bit bigger, but I got to the "good ...
So I went to my grandmother's this weekend, I needed a little get-away and it was really nice to be almost completely out of pocket for a couple of days. (And by almost I mean that the reception on our phones was so bad that we really couldn't get online most of the time or anything!) But that doesn't mean I didn't get anything done. I finished the embroidery on ...
I don't have many pics to show of work this week. I've worked on my corset embroidery off and on. Last night I cleaned out my makeup bin, organized everything and wrote up a list of stuff I needed for Dragoncon, and then sculpted my Romana buckle. Here's the corset, one side done: And over the weekend Kevin and were racing our brooms around the yard and playing a little ...
I had a 4 Day Weekend this past weekend - I had Thursday and Friday off to sew. I didn't get much of anything done because I've had so little to work on. Today is also the 5th day in a row I've woken up with a migraine. I mean, my medicine takes care of it in like 15 minutes, but it's still a pain. I've never had one longer than 3 days, ...
I haven't gotten much of anything done this past week, I've been super lazy. I was off work yesterday and again today to work on stuff, but hardly got anything done. I did make this. Really using my time wisely. We did play withe Worbla. And I dyed my chiffon for my cape, although I think I'm going to re-dye it to go more lavender than pink.
