Stuff from last night
Yesterday I didn’t do much in the way of sewing. I got Chase’s Zaphod pants altered to fit, I just need to hem them and add the panels to turn them into bell bottoms and they’re done. I spent most of the night creating the widow’s peak on my Belle wig. What an annoying process. It should have probably been…

Yay!
So I went to my grandmother’s this weekend, I needed a little get-away and it was really nice to be almost completely out of pocket for a couple of days. (And by almost I mean that the reception on our phones was so bad that we really couldn’t get online most of the time or anything!) But that doesn’t mean…

Embroidery & Quidditch
I don’t have many pics to show of work this week. I’ve worked on my corset embroidery off and on. Last night I cleaned out my makeup bin, organized everything and wrote up a list of stuff I needed for Dragoncon, and then sculpted my Romana buckle. Here’s the corset, one side done: And over the weekend Kevin and were…

4 Day Weekend
I had a 4 Day Weekend this past weekend – I had Thursday and Friday off to sew. I didn’t get much of anything done because I’ve had so little to work on. Today is also the 5th day in a row I’ve woken up with a migraine. I mean, my medicine takes care of it in like 15 minutes,…

updates & whatnot
I haven’t gotten much of anything done this past week, I’ve been super lazy. I was off work yesterday and again today to work on stuff, but hardly got anything done. I did make this. Really using my time wisely. We did play withe Worbla. And I dyed my chiffon for my cape, although I think I’m going to re-dye…

Updates on stuff
Spent most of the weekend working on stuff. First up, Chase got his Zaphod wig. Secondly, we bought some leather. Thirdly, I made the outer layer for that bodice I’ve been working on. The purple leather on the bodice is the same as what’s above, it looks icky in the yellow lighting of our room. And the start of covering…

How I wear so many costumes at a con – part 2
Since it’s Dragoncon season again, the question keeps coming up – “How do you wear so many costumes at a convention??” I’ve answered the question here at my blog once before, but I thought I’d tackle it again, this time a little less tongue-in-cheek. The amount of costumes I can take/wear depend on several factors. 1. On-site Hotel Staying at…

More progress stuff
Didn’t get a lot done last night. But! We did start wet-forming my gauntlets.

A bodice
I finished the base of the bodice for the 4th costume. That’s just the interior, I still need to make the outer layer and get it attached, and then I can put the eyelets in the back. I’m waiting on my fabric, just ordered it today!

Yesterday
Yesterday was errand day – after breakfast and a haircut, we went to Tandy, Hobby Lobby, the wig store, and a shoe store. For me all of those were busts; didn’t find anything at the wig store or shoe store, the only place i got something was Hobby Lobby. But, I got all the closures on the Zaphod jacket finished,…

Runaway Bride Donna is done!
I finished up everything on Donna yesterday! Finished the petticoat, fixing a small issue on the outer skirt layer, rehemming the front (since I got shoes to wear with it now), and finishing the tiara. I just need to press it again, and re-sew down one bead in the front that’s come loose. That’s 3 I can say are 99%…

Me & Walt
I love how whenever I get emails from WDW about our reservation, gmail shortens the conversation so it looks like this: Yeh, just me and Walt talking about my vacation, nbd.

welp
Yesterday Chase and I went through a big list of costumes I knew I would have time to make and budget break-downs of each, and we came to a decision on a particular costume that, if I have extra time, I might make for Dragoncon. And then last night we went to the thrift store to find him some Zaphod…

More progress stuff!
So yesterday after I got tired of fooling with the Zaphod jacket, I cleaned up my office and moved on to my other dragoncon project. Here’s some pics. Sculpting a thing The bodice I was talking about That’s actually the inside lining. I haven’t gotten to the outer layer yet, but last night I got all of the pieces cut…

Zaphod In-Progress
I’ve been trying to get Chase’s Zaphod coat done over the weekend. It’s mostly finished at this point; I need to press it again, and do the front closure. I don’t have buttons for the front yet, so that’ll have to wait. I miiiiight take the sleeves up a bit once we get the rest of it together. I think…

Calvin
Mum called me Thursday night, Calvin passed away. I guess with a cat 19 years old it wasn’t necessarily unexpected, but the thought of him actually being gone is so strange. This cat has been in my life for 19 years. I mean, look at what a baby I am in this pic with him as a kitten. I mentioned…

Can we just talk about this pic for a minute? It looks like I just punched a guy to the floor and then posed for a picture.
