I am ensconced in velvet
I have been lost in a haze of velvet and iron-on stabilizer the past two weeks, so I’m sorry for the lack of updates. I’m going to be taking some pics and posting them this weekend, both here and facebook, I promise! In other news, I nabbed some taffeta at Joann’s for super cheap. Was going to use a 50%…

The Time Lord & Witch sweatshop
Three Time Lord robes in-progress Derek’s needs the sleeve pieces sewn together, Chase’s has the sleeves cut but I need to go through and put the stabilizer and interfacing and lining on. I took mine apart to recut the lining of the main body and the sleeves. I’ve got one other side to unpick tonight, then I can cut the…

Cleaning my office
Chase helped me tackle the closet in my office yesterday. While I’ve cleaned and reorganized my office in the past few months, the closet I haven’t messed with since before dragoncon last year. I have 11 bins shoved in there, and 5 of them just had various scraps of random stuff in them. Chase helped me pull all the bins…

More Hocus Pocus Progress
Here’s what I’ve been working on! My Hocus Pocus costume is coming along. I’m doing the Sarah Sanderson costume – my cousin is being Winnie and Ash is being Mary. I’m making all three; I’ve only done some research and scouting for fabric on the other two so far, but I’ve nearly got everything bought for mine, and a good…

Avengers midnight show!
Avengers was amazing! There were quite a few people dressed up. The audience was amped and it was a really great show. I wore Black Widow (with jeans added, just for comfort’s sake!) Here’s a few pics!

Romana & Belle Progress
This post is useless without pictures, but ah well. I finished Belle, finally, with the exception of the hairbow. I bought some ribbon that’s fairly close and I’m hoping to just make a bow and glue it to a barrette, instead of having to tie it on everytime like I’ve done in the past. Romana is almost done, too. I’ve…

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…

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,…

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…
