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…

Supergirl and Batgirl
We took some Supergirl photos back in February but I’m just now getting around to posting them. I’ve added a couple to my Supergirl page, here’s the rest on smugmug: I also got my Batgirl mask today! Planning on having it done for Dragoncon; I haven’t done anything else on it yet!

Belle Updates, Laundry Room, etc
I haven’t had anything to work on recently so I’ve been working on Belle again. I got the apron made and the sleeves done. All that’s left now is attaching the collar. I’ve also got to figure out a hairbow, since I threw away the scraps of the blue material when we moved from the apartment. But – who knows,…

For new stuff I have: Romana II Donna’s Silence in the Library outfit Batgirl Belle’s ballgown Group costume #1 Group costume #2 Surprise (if I have time – may save it for next year) I’ll probaby bring 4 or 5 more. Here’s the “old” costumes I’m considering:…

Romana, plus comments
Got the skirt sewn in and the sides sewn up last night! I’ve got to fix a little fit issue on the top, and hem it. Then to find a shirt, a tie, a wig, socks and shoes. I’ve had the worst time looking for shoes for this. I haven’t decided if I’m going to look for a blazer or…

Romana + house work
The house is still a disaster thanks to us painting the laundry room, but it’s getting there. I forgot to take a before-photo of the laundry room before we took everything out, and before we stacked the washer and dryer. But here it is pre-painting: Only room in the house we’ve never done anything to – that floor tile is…

Romana II in-progress
Made some progress on Romana this past week. I started out with a pdf pattern, drew out the pieces on newsprint and cut them out of some $1 a yard fabric I’ve had hanging around. Took it part and used it to cut out my black fabric (leftover from Lady Blackhawk!). I got the top pieces put together with their…

Donna Noble in-progress
I got a lot done this weekend! I made several orphan dresses for a middle school production of Annie, and then nearly finished my Donna Silence in the Library top. The shrug is just a stand-in til I make my own. (I picked that one up for this costume but I think it’s too light, so I’m going to make…

New Leia pics
Did a quick photoshoot this weekend and got some new senatorial Leia pics on the white backdrop. There are a few more on my smugmug page, and I’ll add them to my Leia page soon.

More Belle progress
Got the bodice rehemmed last night, and had to fix a seam on the back, but it’s done now. Got the other sleeve put in, and cut out a collar, too. I still need to hem the shirt, finish the sleeve edges, attach the collar and make the apron. This fabric is some of the worst wrinkling stuff I’ve ever…

just a little weekend blurb, and an old picture.
Had a great weekend in Nashville. Went to Cheesecake Factory, the Container Store (so excited – we don’t have one in Memphis but we went to the one in Little Rock for my aunt’s birthday last year LOL), Antique Archaeology (the American Pickers store), and then spent the rest of the night filming video for Ryan’s concert. Had lunch with…

Belle Village Dress In-progress
I’ve been working on my Belle costume again – started the shirt last weekend, but then ran into a wall finishing up my bodice. The bodice is from 2009 — so there was a lot I didn’t remember about it and a few issues that I had forgotten about. (same problem I’m having with the padme nightgown from 2006.) After…

Old pics, part 1
I’ve been uploading some old costume pics from my external hard drive, just as a back-up, mostly. Some of them I haven’t seen in YEARS. Heres a handful of ones I found funny or interesting; I’ll just post a few now and some more later. This one cracks me UP because Kevin is passed out asleep behind me. This was…

2012 Schedule!
I finally put together a 2012 schedule! 1. Belle’s blue dress – I’ve been posting a bit about this – I started on this in 2009 and never finished it. I picked it up again last month and its getting close to being done.

Dragoncon 2011: found flickr pics
is it too late to be posting random flickr pics from dragoncon? I’m squinty in this pic but I really like it. This one doesn’t have sharing enabled, but I love this shot of me as Donna with Rose. And just a nice shot of my Marie…

Happy New Year!
I don’t have a lot to post except Happy New Year! I haven’t really been working on anything with the holidays, hoping to get started on a few things soon though. I did make a World Cosplay account – if any of my friends have an account let me know so I can follow you. 🙂

boredom sets in
So I have nothing to work on – I finished my other puzzle, we can’t finish painting… so I pulled out a couple of old projects I never finished. First up was Belle, my 3rd version of the village dress. I thought this was in pieces, but when I got it out and looked it over, it was really close…

I updated my dcnu Wonder Woman page with a shot of the bodice detail, since it’s hardly visible in full length photos. In other news, working a new puzzle. starting painting again tonight. the fun never stops!

Disney Trip Surprise w/Belle!
Got to do something fun last night 🙂 Friend of mine’s family is going to Disneyworld for Thanksgiving and it’s their niece’s first time there. I got to stop by their house (dressed in Belle) and give her a gift (her own Cinderella dress, tiara and light up shoes). She was really, really sweet and adorable. I hope she has…
