First off, my new toy came today! oh heck yes... New Leia pics we took a while back-- I want to do the Rebel Legion trading cards this time around, so I needed better pics of some of my costumes. Next up - padme lake dress -- stormtrooper -- imperial officer -- maybe the parade dress Although, speaking of that, when I was cleaning and organizing my costume closet the ...
I've finished my Hoth Leia costume and added it to my portfolio!
Friday we went and saw The Prestige. I left my phone at the restaurant and we had to go back for it. Geez. Saturday morning I woke up with a horrible headache and eyeache. I took some advil and it went away, but I was left with a lingering feeling of slight ickiness the rest of the day. I got into Hoth Leia - the hair took longer than I ...
Here's some better pics of my finished Hoth Leia... still going to make the arm thing pretty soon, but for now it's done. It was pretty comfortable but I still want to redo the back of the jumpsuit. I can't sit in it without undoing the neck as it is now. It was also nice and warm... however on saturday it was pretty warm so that costume ended up being ...
12:30 at night doesn't make for the best pictures, particulary with our horrid lighting in the kitchen, but I wanted to show that it's basically finished. Still got my rank badge, and arm thing (arm thing won't be ready for this weekend, but rank badge will). Tonight I've got a couple of things I want to do: belt loops on the bodysuit, try to fix the neck on it, and maybe ...
This weekend is Horrorfest; I'm trying to get Hoth Leia finished for it. I worked a little bit last night, but the sewing machine was being horrid to me so I quit (I swear, the needle came unthreaded three times in the space of, like, 5 minutes. The last time I just quit. I had been up since 5:45 yesterday, so I wasn't in the best mood to begin with.) Tonight I ...
Making a quick post of my progress from work, because I realised I won't be home to do this until at least tomorrow night! (Going to my grandmother's tonight :) The vest as it was yesterday evening: Just pinned together, and inside out. The vest as it is right now: Still need to turn the front, the sleeves, make the pocket for the rank badge, and make the collar. (this pic ...
I worked for a while tonight, and got some good stuff done! Padme's Nightgown - Got the basic thing put together. I really don't like this McCall's pattern - it's strange. I used it for the basic pieces, made it larger to take out the fitted aspect of the bodice, and completely eliminated the bonig. The way they had the straps being made was tedious and didn't work well with ...
fabric finds this weekend: My grey/slightly purple satin for Lois that I found a couple of months ago.. they still had it, and I got it for 50% off, yay. Material for the inner dress for Padme's funeral dress... most expensive thing I got today, but well worth it, I love it. Dorothy fabric The rest of the stuff I needed for hoth Leia Greyish blue matte sain for padme's ...
In other news, I'm in Nashville and will hopefully be in fabric heaven this weekend - with the Columbus Day sales, I'm hoping to pick up at least a few key fabrics I need. I've got a 50% off one item at Joann's and a $50 gift certificate to Hancock's... and I'm going to fancy fabric store (I don't know the name of it) just to look and drool LOL On my ...
