It’s such a pretty costume. Hopefully I’m going to make a fabric store run tomorrow. If I don’t get sidetracked at…

    SDCC 2006 Prep

    Now that COSI is behind me,  here’s what I need to focus on for Comic Con: Vader Chase has pretty much got everything done. The pants still need some tweaking, I need to hem his cape, and get the shirt started. The shirt won’t take long (at least I hope it won’t). Now that he has his shoulder armor I…

    a long overdue update

    (EDIT: This was a catch-all collection of recent costume photos and events originally posted to my livejournal. Since I ported it over here, it may be a bit redundant.)
