Cable Show & Photoshoot Photo dump
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…

2008 in review
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…

Dragoncon 2008 Costume wrapup
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.…

Dragoncon 2008 – thurs and friday!
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…

Adventurecon 2008 – Poison Ivy PIcs
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…

Costume Madhouse and Poison Ivy updates
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…

Poison Ivy & Giselle updates
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…

We are moved in!
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…

Poison Ivy updates and packing…
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…

Starfire, Poison Ivy progress
Chase started on my gauntlets for Starfire today, they are looking pretty cool. This weekend I need to order my boots, and maybe go ahead and get the base wig, too. Haven’t really done anything on Poison Ivy – but today I want to work on the boots. I need to go to the fabric store at some point and…

Boots & Marion
Yesterday shopping went well – Found two pairs of boots that I could possibly use for the costume – I bought them both, as they were only $6 a piece! The others can always be used somewhere else, LOL. I got a pair of shorts/briefs for Poison Ivy at target – got them covered in leaves last night, but I’m…

Poison Ivy progress
Went home last night for an hour or so and messed with the bodice to get it to fit better – luckily the first thing I tried worked like a charm! It fits great now! I also sewed up the front permanently so I wouldn’t have to deal with a gazillion hook-and-eyes everytime I put it on. So I went…

Quick Poison Ivy update
Got my bodice for Poison Ivy – it’s too big. I’ll be taking it up tonight and then start sewing leaves on. Chase has convinced me to add another costume to the Dcon list; I swear, but it will match his major new one for Dcon, so I was already thinking about it anyway. It’s something I can put together…

Summer Costume plans
In a vague sort of order. 1. Poison Ivy I’m definitely doing this for Adcon in June — I’ve got boots I’m going to mod (hopefully, I need to get them out and see what kind of shape they’re in), going to reuse my Phoenix wig, and I’ve got a corset to mod on the way – should hopefully get…

Poison Ivy costume?
Out of the blue I kinda want to do a Poison Ivy costume. I realised I’m going to have all these silk ivy leaves leftover after the wedding (the ones that are going on top of our arbor at the ceremony site) – why not put them to good use? Also can reuse one of my red wigs and use…
