New pics!

I've actually already got these uploaded on their individual portfolio pages, but I was waiting til I had the Anne pics uploaded for making a blog post... but I want to post them now and it's my blog so I do what I want. Megara: It's not like I didn't already have nice pics of this costume (I love the ones Chase took of me at Momocon last year), but ...

2013 Year in Review

2013 on its surface looks like I was a lazy bum on the sewing front this year. So, first, let's look back at what I said I wanted to accomplish in 2013: Romana I Yes! I actually did this one! Yay! an Edwardian dress No. I did a ton of planning for it, got fabric samples, and then decided it was going to be too much work the way I was wanting ...

Dragoncon Costumes: Everything Else

Thoughts & Pics on all the "old" stuff I wore this year... 1. Belle I wore Belle Friday morning for a while. Had wanted to wear it again but didn't get a chance. (Well, that's a lie, there were chances... I just didn't have the energy for it!) I love how it looks with my Marie Antoinette hoops, and really happy with the wig now that I restyled it. If I'm ...

Dragoncon 2013!

Well I've been home from Dragoncon for a few days but haven't posted a thing here - sorry! It was a good year. Even though I felt like i was a day ahead the whole time (Thursday felt like Friday, Friday felt like Saturday) by the end of it, it felt like it had rushed by way too fast. I was so bummed on Monday because I didn't want it ...

In which Chase holds props

We worked on costumes for the past 2 1/2 days and I only have two photos to show today. First, I finished my Fionna sword! Whee! And here's the staff for my last costume. I took pictures of some other things but the paint needed touching up very badly so I didn't post them. Another thing to add to the to-do list tonight (sigh!) Tonight, I've still got to: -finish attaching boot ...

New Costume: Fionna

I've finished my Fionna (Adventure Time) costume and have added it to my portfolio!

c2e2 pics – part 2!

I got the photos from my camera uploaded last night! First up, here's the finished Fionna costume. It was so comfortable and I can't wait to wear it again at Dragoncon. I didn't get a lot of shots of it at C2E2 so I may have to do a photoshoot before then. The guy doing the chalk art all weekend was really neat: Kevin in his new Luke costume! ...

Another Fionna pic

I actually still haven't finished those little things I mentioned last tie (velcro on the hat, etc) but I fixed the top hem of the skirt, so I took a slightly better pic of it. One without a fake pipe sticker.

Costume Updates: Fionna 99% done

The only other time I've even posted about Fionna was last weekend when I nearly had the backpack done; I haven't even posted my pics of it. I wasn't expecting to have it done for a couple more weeks (it's for C2E2), but I made a big push yesterday and knocked almost everything out. All that's left is a velcro closure for the hat and finishing the edges of ...
