Hippolyta Progress
I got the upper part of my bodice cut out of my leather and put together, and started doing sketches on it. I’m going to finalize the sketches today and draw them on tonight. I just barely had enough leather. Chase tried to tickle me while I was walking away from him in the kitchen last night. I jerked away…

MidSouthCon 2011 Plans
With Seattle behind me, I’m planning for MidSouthCon at the end of the month now. I’ve been steady working on my new costume for it – I feel like I’m right on track to get it done in time. I’m pretty excited about it. Chase is doing quite a bit of it for me, and I’m excited to see the…

Seattle trip, ECCC
We’re home! We really had a great trip. I got to see where Chase lived and went to school when he was in Seattle, see his friends who still live there, and the con was a lot of fun. I don’t have any pics from the “real” camera yet, but I’ll post a few from my camera phone. We got…

Enchantress mask
costume updates: last night I put the straps on the bodice. I wasn’t going to, but the cotton base of the whole thing ripped a bit at one of the grommets. I didn’t use my usual cotton, it was a much thinner cotton, and I think that was the problem. I reinforced it, but to keep from having to put…

Enchantress pants!!
love was such an easy game to play! for real I did nothing interesting yesterday. Chase was gone shooting the tennis tournament nearly all day. I did laundry all day (managed to do all of it!!) and sewed. Worked on my puzzle. My parents and Ash and her parents came over to watch the Tiger game which SUCKED. Not that…

Enchantress progress!
what’s left: adjusting the gloves. they’re a little too long, I need to take some of the length off so the top sits right. will take about 5 minutes. belt fit. I just made an extra long belt, I need to put it on me with the bodice and cut off the extra length and put some velcro on. finish…

my day off!! :D
I had today off! OMG I was so excited over it, LOL. Went and got my haircut this morning. Not too much, since I’m growing it out for my Donna costume. Showed her to the guy who cuts my hair, Frankie, and he said I wouldn’t have any problem getting that length by then and he’d make sure my bangs…

Enchantress boots progress
I’ve nearly got the bodice done – I’m trying to decide if I want to keep the busk in the front or go without. I’m not liking how it fits with the busk at the moment. I’m thinking it might be better if I shorten it, so Chase is trimming it down for me tonight. Then I’ll see again, if…

snowing!!
It’s snowing AGAIN! I don’t know man. Got to leave work early though so that’s a plus. I’ve got quite a few costumes I could do some nice shots of out in the snow. We don’t get a lot of snow here – usually it’s only like once a year if that – so when it does it’s a great…

Rogue shoe tutorial… kinda
I took these pics when I was making my Rogue boots back in 2006 and never posted them. I honestly would do it a little differently now – but I figured I should post them anyway! My Starfire boots were the exact same base boots, just a slightly different boot cover (I wasn’t happy with the Starfire boot covers so…

Enchantress skirt and boots!
As a costumer, I hate that moment when you see someone say, “I’ve never seen anyone do this costume well.” And you’ve done that costume and all you can think is, “omg, did they see mine and think it was crap? Is it crap? maybe they never saw it. or maybe they did and they think it’s crap!!” LOL. Anyway…

green fabric everywhere – Enchantress
I started cutting out my Enchantress bodice. Chase is going to be gone almost all day tomorrow so I’m going to try to get a lot of work done! I may stop and play Harry Potter lego with Kevin for a while though 🙂 I deleted all but two of my Rebel Legion costumes today. feels good man. I didn’t…

2011 costumes
So here’s what I’ve got planned for now. March projects: already underway. Enchantress: quick and easy. DC Character: light on sewing. more of a crafty-thing. April projects: Lady Blackhawk: all sewing. Donna: piece-mealed, will probably make the jacket. (I’m hoping to actually start on these in March and move everything up a bit.) May projects: Marie Antoinette: just starting on…

Starting Hippolyta
Starting working on stuff for March – Enchantress for Emerald City Comic Con, and a surprise for MidSouthCon. The surprise is actually going to end up being pretty easy on my sewing side. Enchantress is going to be fairly easy as well – I got my fabric samples for her yesterday and I’m excited 🙂 Here’s what I have going…

2010 wrap up…. 2011 plans
(I realize I have this post on my blog basically twice – but one version was imported over from livejournal and I wanted to preserve it and its comments. This version is the livejournal post.) I can’t believe 2010 is already over. Seems like just a few weeks ago I posted my 2010 plans. I didn’t do very well in…

Sewing room + hogwarts robe
my office is back to being clean after finishing Kevin’s christmas present (outside of attaching the patch.) It went so quick! I’m really pleased with it. And then Chase hung a few things up in my office – the 2 Adam Hughes prints he got me for my birthday a few years ago, and my Mike Mayhew Ms Marvel sketch…

Photoshoot pics + puzzle!
I put Donna Troy & Sleeping Beauty up today: I’m a little annoyed that people are IGNORING my puzzle pics on flickr, and instead looking at and commenting on stupid costume pics! So here, LOOK at my puzzle pics!!!!!!! Man I can’t believe people aren’t going crazy over these puzzle pics. Tomorrow is thanksgiving. I am thankful for my husband,…
