This Padme costume is about to be my 13th reason. The fabric is just SOOO thin that anytime I have to unpick something it either damages the fabric or I accidentally cut a hole in it. Trying to get everything to line up correctly and looking ok at the neckline has been the majority of my weekend. I guess let's back up. The top with the cape attached. Now with ...
I have a lot of puppy content. Let's get to it. Walker stayed with us last Monday from around 8 in the morning to about 3 the next day. My parents were out of town for a concert and she's too little to stay at doggie daycare yet like Skye did. She slept most of the day Monday and Tuesday, until I got off work Monday and then we played hard for ...
Not a ton to talk about this week. Actually I think the thing I have the most to say about is sewing progress! For the first time in a while. SO. I had gotten that fabric to use as lining for the top and the skirt. I got the skirt pieces cut out - it's basically a miniskirt - got the "lining" layer sewn to the scuba layer, got everything ...
Well I don't have as much progress to show today as I would've liked, but I did cross a big hurdle with my Padme build. But before I get into all that, let's do a puppy pic dump. Friday my parents had to go up to help my granddad with some stuff, and Skye went to doggy daycare for the day, but Walker is still too little. So she got ...
Ok before I get into anything else... I've got puppy fever. My parents' new baby, Walker! Of course her big sister is Skye, so together they are Skye Walker - and Walker came on on May the 4th :) Skye is Walker's aunt, I think they said. omg I get to babysit one day soon :D Stole Skye's bed LOL More May the 4th Fun - Saturday morning I got up ...
So I had big plans of trying to do a start to finish mockup of Padme this weekend. I had 10 new yards of fabric, I was going to cut out all of my pattern pieces, assemble everything, make edits (hopefully small) and then be ready for my real fabric this week. Of course I knew that was shooting for the moon. But I was hoping I'd get close. Alas! I ...
Hello, I don't even know why I'm posting today because I have nothing of importance to share. The only sewing update I have is that I got the pieces I've "finished" transferred to paper. I played around the lining layer and ended up adding an extra seam to help it fit better (since that layer won't be seen anyway). I need to do one more test fit with it and ...
Before I jump into the weekend photos, I'll cover the few things from the week before... I'm going to have to get more fabric to finish the mock-up for Padme. I do think I finally figured out the hood pieces -- I transferred the hood and cape mockup pieces to paper. I still need to figure out fitted sleeves, the bodice pieces and the skirt of course... all the fabric ...
Even though I said "no" to April Fool's Day last week, I did make something for it: It cracks me up how well this went together for 5 seconds in photoshop LOL Monday I got my Padme lake dress cardigan from maxxmerch! I love it!! Plus it came with a pin, a print and a keychain!! I filmed an unboxing video, got it edited and uploaded to tiktok... where it stayed ...
I think I have finally decided what to take to Huntsville: 1. Honeymoon Leia 2. Packing Padme 3. Chip & Dale 4. Sailor Jupiter And I may also throw Seven in since she doesn't take up a lot of room, so no big deal if I don't get around to wearing her. Based on last year I don't think I'll have time for more than 4, especially since we're not going over Sunday at all. ...
