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 3
Today is Star Wars costumes I want to do… and I’m going to split this into 2, because I somehow still have a lot of Star Wars costumes I want to do! Viqi Shesh. I just think this is a beautiful oufit. Jarael. Another one that I just love this outfit. I’m considering doing this for Dragoncon. Bastila Shan. I…

Costumes I want to do, Part 2
Continuing the posts of pics from my want-to-do folder! DC Comics costumes, including Wonder Woman. Ame-Comi Black Canary. I’m doing this one for Dragoncon this year, too. (edit: again, I must have deleted this photo after I did the costume, so I am substituting a picture of my finished costume 🙂 ) Supergirl. This is the only version of her…

Costumes I want to do, Part 1
I keep a folder of costumes/characters I like on my computer… anytime I find something I think is neat I save it and keep it in there for inspiration. 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…

Cleaning my office, costume schedules
I’m off work today – going to NYC today! Flight’s not til this afternoon – still got a few errands to run, etc. Anyway. I got my office cleaned up and made work-able again. I got some little baskets for my cabinet, so I can eventually organize stuff in there. I also got that new stool – it’s much more…

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…

Patrick Stewart
Finally got around to scanning our pic with Patrick Stewart. What a cute group, eh?

C5, Photoshoots, Convention planning
I know a lot of people are excited and I don’t want to bring anyone down! So you can just skip this segment if you don’t want to hear non-excited talk about C5 LOL. I am very disappointed that C5 is going to be 2 weeks before Dragoncon. Just about any other time of the year and we would have…

Snow White + Graveyard Party pics
I ran out of time because I ended up having to be at my aunt’s house an hour earlier for Trunk or Treat than I expected… I didn’t get a chance to make attach my bows or put the snaps on the upper part of the cape to keep it in place… but all nitpicky, I’m really happy with it.…

Snow White finished!
Well, almost. Snow White as of last night. The skirt is finished but I may rehem it, it’s still a little longer on (with the shoes) than I wanted. The cape is not anywhere finished… that’s just my fabric pinned on to see how it would look LOL The collar is also just pinned on, there’s a lot of extra…

More Snow White progress
I still haven’t finished the back of the bodice but I went ahead and started on the sleeves. The sleeves are mostly finished here but not attached, just quickly pinned on for a pic.

Snow White updates, SW Family Fun Day Pics
I’ve been working on my Snow White costume for next weekend… it’s coming along. I’ve got no decent pics to show of it, just a few iphone pics – As of last week: my shoes: and as it was yesterday morning: It’s hard to tell but I decided to take the center piece of piping out. I’m hoping to finish…
