Well since I'm mostly done for the year - outside of my little secret project - I'm gonna go ahead and post this. I've had it done for a while actually LOL At the beginning of the year, this is what I wanted to accomplish... keeping in mind that when I wrote this, Chase hadn't proposed yet and changed a lot of our plans for the year!! 1. Ceremonial Leia v.2 ...
I ran across my original 2005 costume list on the Jedi Council boards, did I get it all done? I said I'd do: -Padme ep 1 Parade gown Done! Besides the Princesses, this was my biggest project of the year, and the one I worked on longest. I'm still quite proud of it -Qui-Gon Jinn for my father Done! It wasn't perfect, far from it, but everyone recognized him as Qui-Gon. I ...
Yesterday I went to Hancock for some last minute things. I also got some done on Leia. Working on Snow White's collar now - once I finish that, all I need to do is add the cuffs, and do the bows for the shoes and hair, and finish her slip. Reckon I can do that today. For Leia, I need to make the vest, put the pockets on the sleeve, ...
Snow White... I still have to: -Make the hairbow -Make attach the collar -Make the cape -Finish the sleeves (red cuff at the bottom of each sleeve) -Put bows on shoes -Make slip I made Ash's gloves - tomorrow I'l make her feet and she'll be done. Which just leaves Leia and Polychrome. If Polychrome doesn't get finished I won't be too upset, as I'm having trouble fitting it into ...
Hee!! I'll be finished with Belle tomorrow. I finished the bodice today, all hemmed, got the grommets in, and all. I've still got to do the shoulder pieces and put the jewels on but neither should take long. Yay :D Also made more good progress with Ash's costume, I'm very pleased with how it's coming out. Those two things are good news because I've been in such a terrible mood ...
Today's fabric store run proved very fruitful!! For once. I got the bulk of Ashley's fabric. I'm not using what I got the other day, I don't like it. Not only am I happy with the colour this time, but they actually had enough of it!! Pink and yellow chiffon for Polychrome - the two colours they didn't have at Hobby Lobby the other day. So I've got everything I ...
For Belle... I've still got to hem the skirt, but I got the overlay finished and I'm about halfway through beading it. I got my shoes and spruced them up a bit, they're so gaudy they crack me up :D Tomorrow I'm going to tackle the rest of the skirt, and try to finish the beading so I can go ahead and attach that and get the zipper put in. ...
Went on a buying spree this morning! First, the Disney project: Belle (Me) It's coming along. My mom's ballroom hoopskirt is perfect for it. I got my yellow-gold material for the dress - it's exactly what I wanted from a few months ago. At first I couldn't find out and was bummed because I didn't like anything else at the store. Then my mum found a roll of it on ...
Jupiter isn't going to be ready for A-Kon. Why? Because it's about two weeks til A-Kon and I haven't bought a single thing for it. Which wouldn't be a giant problem except I got so much left to do on Yuuko, there's no time to worry with Jupiter. :( Oh well - I'll do it for MTAC next year! Speaking of Yuuko - I finally got the extensions so I started ...
I've actually been working on stuff! Yay, me. I finally got the serger correctly threaded to do the rolled edges for the petals, and have since made about 30 petals... and it was SO FAST!! *_* It would have taken me Iforever/I to do it on the regular sewing machine. I think I'm in love, haha. I painted my shoes for Padme - I wasn't going to, they were ok looking, ...
