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 with the 3 princesses around Stitch (since he's playing a guitar ...

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 headed or not. 1. Pink Dragon I made a giant, wear-able pink ...

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 it, so when I went to sew the main hem, ...

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 4 people - one girl (who is playing the Dragon and ...

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 was going to be too much work the way I was wanting ...

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 to finish it - if I don't, I don't wear 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 found out they're having a costume contest.. LOL I'll hopefully ...
