Well, Friday, I added the panels into my Donna Noble skirt and started beading, and Chase and I went out for sushi and saw Monsters University (it was cute). Aaaand then the next morning Chase woke up with food poisoning. I felt so bad for him! So I spent all day Saturday doing more beading, so I could stay nearby. Yesterday I started on one of his Dragoncon projects. So, ...
So last night I dreamt that I was at Dragoncon with my Donna wedding dress still in the state it currently is. I was freaking out because it wasn't finished, particularly because I didn't have a veil. So I'm in the hotel room, trying to hot glue scraps of chiffon together to make a veil (for some reason I had a bag of fabric scraps...). Chase is there, telling me ...
This went together fast! I bought the fabric for this last weekend, and started on it during the week. I had a little bit of hang-up with the upper portion, my first pattern tweaks didn't work out and had to revisit and re-cut them. Here's the satin parts pinned onto the dressform, from Thursday, I think? And here it is with all the chiffon parts added and everything put together, ...
I don't really want to go into details, but this past week has been rough. So I dove into sewing!! I kinda put Romana to the side for a bit, since I was tired of breathing in feathers and fur (I bought a mask to wear, so I can finish it up without hacking out feathers!) and started on one of my other Dragoncon projects. This one was supposed to ...
Here's the mostly finished dress with the wig. This weekend I got the cape put together, although I ran short of fabric for the hood. I ran out and got some more yesterday so I'm going to finish the base of it up this week. Here it is with my feathers pinned on: I started on one of my other dragoncon projects yesterday... I got my mock-up of it almost ...
So I pretty much finished my Romana I dress last night. First, the MST3K shot because I watched Catalina Caper last night. Even though it's kinda impossible to read. Then, before I put the sleeves on: One sleeve on: And mostly done: I may need to take the sides up a bit. I like the way it fits right now but it is a tiny bit big in the ...
I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. After four days of sleeping in, it was really hard to get up and come to work this morning. Saturday we went to Chris & Leah's wedding in Nashville. It was really pretty - wish we could have stayed longer but we drove back home that night. It was a fun quick little road trip and we listened to Goblet of Fire ...
Dragon*Con Questionnaire What’s your badge name? kelldar I think it is anyway. I may have changed it this year. I can’t remember at all. Where are you staying? Marriott - been there every year since 2002. What day are you arriving/leaving? Arriving Wednesday leaving either Monday or Tuesday. Will you be cosplaying? What days? As whom? (edit: photo link was broken, can't find it anywhere, so I've ...
I was thinking of making Donna's Runaway Bride costume for Dragoncon. That's NOT the 4th costume I had in mind; but it would be cheaper and quicker to make. It's going in the maybe pile for now - I'll see how things are looking in July. I'd definitely make it instead of buying something; it would be an easy two day project for the basics, and then some beading. I'm ...
