Ms Marvel updates & Belle art
Today’s Princess is Belle. I didn’t want to stick her in a robe à la française like I did for Cinderella, so I just picked something I thought suited her LOL I’m really pleased with this one. My Viv from Pretty Woman Ms. Marvel boots came yesterday! I’m going to make boot covers for them so that match the rest…

Costumes I want to do, Part 4
Continuing Star Wars costumes I want to do! Bespin Leia – duh! I’ve had this sort-of put together since 2006. I pulled it back out earlier this year to start on it again – I’ve decided to scrap the material I had and start over with a different fabric. I’m hoping to have it done later this year. (edit: finally…

Costumes I want to do, Part 1

I thought I’d share some of the things I’ve had in that folder. Part 1 is Marvel superhero costumes. 90s Rogue. I’ve wanted to do this costume for YEARS but have…

Making Ms Marvel! And Snow White art
Costume switchup! I’ve decided I don’t have enough time to dedicate to finishing Batgirl before Anaheim, so I’m going to push her back to summer. I’m going to move my Ms Marvel costume up to do for Anaheim instead. Ms Marvel will be pretty quick on my end… Chase is going to make the mask for me. Anyway, this week’s…

C4 all over again
We couldn’t go to Celebration 4 because of the wedding – we just couldn’t afford it AND a wedding in the same year. Hearing people talking about it, and people constantly asking if we were going just made me so sad that year, because I really wanted to be there! I was so disappointed we couldn’t go. And now the…

Yellow fabric, and Mermaid art
I got a LOT done on my corset last night – I started cutting and putting the boning in, only to realise I’m not going to have enough. I used up so much of my last batch with Anne Boleyn that it went a lot faster than usual. I went to order more this morning only to find the place…

Van Helsing? and Mermaid art
My costume that gets more hits from searches isn’t something like Slave Leia or Wonder Woman… it’s Anna Valerious from Van Helsing, which I don’t understand. Does it have some huge fanbase out there? I get hits for people searching for “anna valerious costumes” or “van helsing costumes” EVERYday. Multiple hits! I don’t get it. Don’t get me wrong, I…

Jane and Batgirl updates
So I’m building a new corset, and it’s different than any one I’ve ever made. For one, I’ve never made a corset with an open front – I had no idea how to do that, and I had to read the instructions 20 times to understand it. But I successfully got the hoop side in – I’m so proud! I…

Lady Gaga costume
I love Lady Gaga. I have planned on doing one of her costumes for Dragoncon for a while, but couldn’t make up my mind which one – it was a tie between the “Mickey Mouse” costume from the Paparazzi video or the “Black Max” costume from the Bad Romance video. I was leaning towards Black Max because it was a…

sleeping beauty wig
I finally broke down and bought a new wig for Sleeping Beauty. I’m really happy with the colour. I wanted something much more golden than the sort of colour-less blonde I got last time. I haven’t done anything with it yet, I’m going to curl up the bangs. I wanted some opinions… I think i might sew some extra wefts…
