So as I mentioned I completely screwed up the front of my Romana dress and had to order more fabric to re-do it (so; in case you're counting, that's 16 yards worth of fabric I've poured into this dress thus far.) I remade the front section yesterday; I decided to do the pleated section has a separate piece on top of the dress, since that was the whole problem I had ...
So, I have my Dragoncon costume schedule pretty much finalized. Not sure I'm going to do that fourth one I mentioned; just depends on time and money. But, here's what we stand on them: 1. Romana I As you can see from my most recent post I messed it up! LOL. I ordered more fabric and I'm hoping to have the dress done this weekend, and the cape hopefully done by ...
Well I kinda messed up my Romana dress this weekend and had to order more fabric last night. So there's really nothing to post about the dress besides that. I did start playing with the cape. I'm going to need more feathers, but I was just getting an idea of what it was going to look like:
Now that C2E2 is over I can start planning Dragoncon stuff. I'm only planning on making 4 new costumes for myself; maybe only 3. I've got a work schedule worked out, and if I finish the 3 first ones by August, then I'll go ahead and tackle the 4th (the 4th will be easy to make; it's just budgeting factors.) Obviously one of those 4 is Romana I. Two others are group projects, ...
The back is put together, and I started pleating the front sections: I stopped since I need my extra fabric. Hopefully it'll be here tomorrow.
I'm so excited!!! There's been a costume I've wanted Chase to do since we MET and he's agreed to do it this year for Dragoncon! Which kinda throws my Dragoncon schedule into a tizzy because now there's a costume I want to make for myself to go with his and that's stuffing my schedule a little too full, so something may get dropped. I'm just playing it by ear and ...
I got Romana I started this weekend. I originally bought 8 yards of fabric - the Jet Set Poly from Joann's. I bought 8 yards because, besides needing extra for the pleated section, I'm also self-lining it since it's so thin. I'm using good old Simplicity 9891 - mine has been used so many times it looks like a giant bag of wadded up trash whenever I pull it out LOL. It's torn ...
I got a lot of sewing done this weekend; I mostly finished my Fionna backpack, which I will upload pics of soon. I'm still figuring out the back section, and I need to attach the straps. It was a pain in the butt, and I should have just bought one, but now that I've made it I'm sticking with it. It's functional, which will be great for the con. I ...
Yay, first post on my Romana I costume! I finally started scouting some fabric today. I ended up buying some fabric from Joann's online, for the dress. I also scouted out some furry feathery things for the cape. I have a good bit of yardage of white fur from Emma leftover, I don't think it's enough, but it's a start. I'll still need to pick up some fabric for the ...
