I know I haven't actually updated on any sewing for a while - but that's coming very soon I promise :) Chase was asked to take part in this cable trade show for Turner networks in Washington DC, as one of several clonetroopers in their booth. I got to tag along as a handler :) It was nice quick little trip, we'll have to go back sometime since we didn't really have ...
What I accomplished in 2008 (and what I didn't, LOL) Well it was weird year for me, costume-wise, because the first part of the year was eaten by my wedding, both financially and time-wise. I was still attemping to work on stuff - to make things that were easy, or that I already had material for. I think after the wedding and our move after everything kinda got settled I tried ...
1. Giselle I was really pleased with the updates to Giselle. An hour's worth of work turned it from a costume I really didn't care about to something I was really happy with. I actually wish I'd tossed it on on Monday at the con as well. I might wear it sometime at Halloween if it's not too cold out. 2. Black Canary This costume was SO freaking comfortable! I really fell ...
Hey guys... sorry I haven't posted in a few days!! Dragoncon was a blast, as always. I managed to come home with a nasty head cold so I've been kinda in-and-out of it since then. I finished uploading our photos today, though - had over 1000, almost filled up the memory card, LOL. I think I'll break up my posts by days... there's a lot of stuff to go through. Our ...
I've finished my Giselle costume and added it to my portfolio!
We're back! We had a fun time. Just long drives to get there. I'll write more about it later, once I finish getting my pictures up. I've got the first few on my flickr, but I haven't had time to finish resizing the rest of them.... we had company last night so I didn't get to finish them :) This afternoon I'm going back up to the summer camp for Ever ...
Last night was spent turning the apartment upside down looking for various costume pieces. Blegh. We even made a run back to my parents' house at 10pm to see if maybe the things we were looking for were there (for me, it was my Kingdom Come shinguards & wing harness). Finally found them around 11 - turns out the box Chase has been using as an impromptu nightstand was a "prop ...
Poison Ivy is finished! Yay! I went ahead and packed it up last night. My Giselle wig is finished - the zipper is in, top is finished, and it's hemmed. I need to attach the white shoulder piece, the ribbon and the straps, and it's done. I'm also taking Kingdom Come Wonder Woman. I don't know if I feel like taking regular Wonder Woman now, after wearing it yesterday. I ...
I got my Poison Ivy boots basically finished, I just need to glue down a few spots, and add leaves. Also made my gloves - just need to add leaves to those, too. Fix that one spot on the briefs, and she's done. I got my Giselle pieces cut out -- I left all the pieces at home with the sewing machine (I'm not bringing the machine to the new ...
Tomorrow is moving day, and I haven't packed any of my costume stuff. I think I've got a plan. Most of my stuff is in plastic storage bins. When we get the uhaul here tonight, I'm just going to put whatever loose stuff in whatever plastic bin has room, and load them up that way. Messy I know, but I didn't have time to sort anything beforehand - I'll go ...
