First wrap-up on one of the new costumes - Peggy ! I was super pleased with how it came out. It was relatively comfortable - outside of being insanely hot. It wasn't too bad as long as I was inside - even in the oven that is the Marriott - but outside was no bueno. I had to leave both the USO Girls/WWII group and the Marvel universe shoots early ...
Spent all last night running around the house, finishing packing, finishing projects. I don't know how we're going to fit it all in the car. This is just part of it: We've got: 4 garment bags 1 large costume bin 1 16x16x16 wig box 3 boxes we're carrying for friends 1 mini fridge 1 giant box of food Chase's costume bin K-9 Tom Servo 2 duffel bags Chase's camera equipment I'm sure I'm forgetting something. Anyway, ...
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!
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 ...
I didn't update yesterday because I really didn't have much to talk about. I finished off the other sleeve, and I got the neckline trim made. Last night I got it attached and repleated the skirt. TheN I tried everything on! I was going to pin the sleeves on but it was too difficult once I had everything on, so they're just tucked in (and kept slipping down, hence my ...
I REALLY dug in on Peggy this weekend. Chase was gone Friday-Saturday evening, so I attacked it with everything I had. Worked until about 1AM Friday night/Sat morning, got up, had breakfast, ran to the store, and then back at it until Chase got home around 5. I was kinda in a rush because I REALLY wanted to take it and show it to my grandfather yesterday on Father's Day. ...
Shirt & tie are just stand-ins! Needed to see the jacket with something similar on underneath. Last night I top-stitched the front, got the collar put in and started on the epaulets. I'm going to have to take the collar back off because it's slightly too big and I need to put a couple of darts in so the whole thing lays right - in the photo above I've got ...
Doesn't look all that different from yesterday's post, but last night was clean up. I cleaned up the inside and pressed some stuff and fixed my dart, and reshaped my collar. Also made the upper collar but haven't attached it yet. It's a little big on my dressform, it's fitting me better - I'll try to take my next picture of it on me instead. Tonight, I will hopefully finish ...
Didn't get to work much last night; but I did get the jacket basically put back together. I need to go back in and trim and replace my seams and darts, and also I think I may need to move the left side down - the pockets ended up uneven and I think it's just because I've got it placed too high (I hope that's all it is. Otherwise I'm ...
I got the other side cut out, got my pockets done, darts put back in place and started putting the jacket back together. It looks like a right mess in that photo but I wanted a progress shot. Tonight I'm going to get the darts put back into the lining and get the lining and outer layer reattached. I'm hoping I can get to the point I can top stitch. ...
