Didn't get a lot done yesterday. Storms and family lunch took up the bulk of the day, but I did get my Belle wig finished, re-dyed my chiffon, nearly finished Chase's Zaphod gloves and finished altering his Zaphod pants. The only pic I have to share today is my wig that I posted about dyeing saturday - here it is after drying: Pretty happy with it. Today, writing up a ...
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 ...
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.
Spent most of the weekend working on stuff. First up, Chase got his Zaphod wig. Secondly, we bought some leather. Thirdly, I made the outer layer for that bodice I've been working on. The purple leather on the bodice is the same as what's above, it looks icky in the yellow lighting of our room. And the start of covering boots in the leather. These gave me conniptions this weekend.
Didn't get a lot done last night. But! We did start wet-forming my gauntlets.
