Amidala Shoes, Parasol, Progress & Plans
I’ve actually been working on stuff! Yay, me. I finally got the serger correctly threaded to do the rolled edges for the petals, and have since made about 30 petals… and it was SO FAST!! *_* It would have taken me Iforever/I to do it on the regular sewing machine. I think I’m in love, haha. I painted my shoes…

Lots of updates and plans
I haven’t updated in a month! Good grief. Costume updates: Qui-Gon: No progress whatsoever. Ha, ha. Padme: I bought some more stuff (see below), and finally got the serger threaded correctly for doing rolled edges as of yesterday… but otherwise, nothing! Mara: I bought my fabric, shinguards, and goggles. I’m still trying to decide whether or not I want to…

when it was quiet
My little friend is gone, there’s nothing else to do now but move on and remember all the good times I had with him. Still, this house is very sad right now. Mum keeps crying and blaming herself. Dad is just quiet. I’m going out to lunch with my grandmother. That will be nice. I have no idea what do…

Shadowcon
I’m trying to figure out what I want to wear to Shadowcon. Heres the things I thought of: Anna – the only problem I’d have with this is curling my hair, and it would be cold. Arwen Wedding – it’s such a pain to wear, and the fabric on the sleeves is pulling apart – if I wear it again…

Thinking
Semester before last in my Faust class, I did some costume designs for the three major characters in part one (Faust, Mephistopheles, and Gretchen), because I thought maybe I could make one of them as my final project (but I didn’t have time). I think I may work some more on one, probably either Meph’s or Gretchen’s (most likely Meph’s),…

Qui-Gon and Amidala updates
In the past week I had to make a few last minute, extremely cheap (they had a v. tight budget) costumes for the play I was involved: An “Acrobatman” shirt (blue shirt with a yellow triangle and a red “A” on the front ala Superman), 3 Devo hats, and an Elvis shirt (with attached belt so the 2 actors that…
