Costume Progress Collage

I made this yesterday and forgot to post it last night. A little collage of everything I'm working on:

Costume Progress and a Giant Photo of a Book

So, haven't had much to post lately. I finished up the main part of Ash's Mary costume, I'm quite happy with how it turned out. We just need to get her shirt fabric, and making the shirt won't take long. Hem her skirt and weather it all and we're good to go and I can mark another one off my list.

Random costume notes

Not a lot to mention recently. I posted on my main page that I got my Batgirl mask! I'm so excited about it. I'm doing the new 52 version, mostly because I like the purple cape. I've only barely started planning it; I've ordered some swatches for the suit and I'm going to start patterning it soon. I got my Romana wig in the mail! I'm pretty happy with it. It's ...
