The most random post ever
This weekend was CRAZY busy… Well let me start with Thursday. I started pulling out stuff for our trip this week, and decided our one stitch patch on our park bag looked lonely, so I dragged out my patch collection to see what I could do. After some fiddling around with placement and seeing what would fit, I ended up…

2015 Year in Review!!
Maybe the morning after Star Wars isn’t the best time to do this. I went to bed hours after I normally do and still had to get up at 6:30 for work today so I am beyond fuzzy. BUT I realized I hadn’t done this yet and got all excited to type up the post, so here we go, fuzzy…

Random Stuff
Hey! I’m behind on posting. Here’s what’s been going on lately. Last week I made a dress for a friend for Halloween! It’s not a great picture of it. The main part of the dress is a really neat, heavy matte knit that I really liked working with. My only issue was that I didn’t have the best needle for…

More art
Here’s ewok village Leia… And metal bikini Leia… I’ve been working on a Halloween costume for a friend and finished it up last night! It’s not the best pic of it but it’s all I’ve got.

Dragon
I haven’t posted in a few days – sorry! Since getting back from Disney World, we’ve been rushing to finish up the Dragon project we’ve been working on. We’ve been making a Dragon costume for a middle school production of Shrek! We finally finished it up last night. I don’t have very good photos of it, because it’s meant for…

2013 Year in Review
2013 on its surface looks like I was a lazy bum on the sewing front this year. So, first, let’s look back at what I said I wanted to accomplish in 2013: Romana I Yes! I actually did this one! Yay! an Edwardian dress No. I did a ton of planning for it, got fabric samples, and then decided it…

Sewing non-costumey stuff
last night’s viewing: 2 mst3ks. I did a lot of sewing, but none of it was for dragoncon. I pulled out a dress I started making back in 2006 to see how much was left to do on it. I got the skirt finished off and the top put together, and started looking at the waistband. I’m giving myself tonight…

Indy the Wonder Dog
This is what happens when I organize my fabric and realise I have enough scraps to make a silly costume for my dog. This was the best pic I could get of her in it. We’re going to the St Jude Showcase of Dogs this weekend… and I was going to take her in her superdog costume. But then I…

when i thought about normal sewing
I am totally digging the patterns on this site! I think maybe after dragoncon I might look at buying a few patterns from them and making some new clothes for the winter… they have some really cute stuff. just a random thought.

when i realized i had a jango shirt
So I have this shirt I hang out in a lot. I sleep in it occasionally. It’s just a comfy t-shirt to wear at home. I’ve had it forever. It’s a kid’s yellow t-shirt with some Star Wars stuff on the front. So today I had it on, and I looked down at it, and was like, “WTF! Why do…

Padme: I bought some more stuff (see below), and finally got the serger threaded correctly for doing rolled edges as of yesterday… but otherwise, nothing! Mara: I bought my fabric, shinguards, and goggles. I’m still trying to decide whether or not I want to…
