I went home sick again. Feeling worse than the day before, I'm pretty sure it's sinus stuff. But I'm better today, head's still foggy but better. I did get a little work done last night. I got my base shirt for the "wood" part made. Got the front pleats sewn back down correctly. But I forgot to take any kind of pictures. I watched Project Runway on the couch and ...
Yesterday I ended up going home at lunch with a bad migraine. Meds weren't doing much of anything I felt pretty puke-y, probably from trying to take too much medicine. Went home, slept, felt a little better after that and tried to get some work done. Today it's more of the same. I think it's sinus stuff that has turned into a migraine. Anyway. I got my garment rack out ...
I got the top section of chiffon sewn in place and the edges cauterized. Started on the second section - after I took this picture I got it sewn in place, too. Tonight I've got to finish the back edge because it's really hard to pin and work with stuff on it when it's all droopy because there's no closure. I'm going to go ahead and finish the chiffon upper ...
Got my Anne Boleyn jewelry mostly finished last night - got one more pearl to attach - and the crown to go, but that's one thing off my list. I played around with my Johanna chiffon and got at least the top section figured out. It's not going to be exact but at this point I'm just hoping for a finished costume. Tonight I want to go ahead and get ...
So gosh, what all did I do this weekend? So much work to remember. Friday night, saw Guardians of the Galaxy, a lot of fun. Saturday morning had a Spin-a-thon I went to as Wonder Woman, fun. Saturday afternoon-evening, family cookout with way too much food. Around all that, I finished my surprise costume! Top to bottom. All done. Would have been done SLIGHTLY faster if I hadn't made two ...
It's kinda hard to talk updates when I'm not saying what it is yet. but I'll try. I got the backs put together last night (outside and lining), and pinned to the front sections. After that I had to stop, since I need my front design cut out (Chase is doing that for me) so I can sew it on before I put the whole suit together. I experimented with ...
I got my new hat for Marie Antoinette, omg I love it. Can't wait to decorate it this weekend. Also, now that my Peggy wig has fully dried - I really like it. I don't think I need to recurl it. I think I can just jump right into styling, so that's nice!
26 days til we leave and I'm really starting to feel the pinch. Freaking out a little bit. I'm hoping to cross some small things off my list this weekend and really dig into Johanna. I'm hoping to have my surprise costume pretty much done by the end of this weekend -- I think I could have the bulk of it done by Sunday. To-Do list for the next week or ...
No, not my costume, last night I went to see the movie Belle which was a nice break from working and the costumes were very pretty. So I didn't get any sewing done to post about today, but I did play around with my Peggy wig some more. My original was too dark, as you may remember me griping about back in June. The only other one I could find ...
Costumes I'm (more than likely) bringing to Dragoncon: Donna Unicorn & Wasp: 10% done. If I finish it enough to wear. I'm only focusing on the front panels right now. If I don't get it done enough, I may throw together a Fires of Pompeii Donna instead. Anne Boleyn: 98% done YAY Peggy Carter: 95% done - finishing wig and belt soon Johanna: 15% done. Gotta get cracking! But I have most of my ...
