Bail Organa
Below you'll find all blog posts related to the two Bail Organa (Star Wars) costumes I've made for my husband - the ROTS teal robe in 2021 and the Obi-Wan Kenobi grey cape in 2023.

2023 Costume Wrap-Up
All rightie it’s that time of the year when we compare last year’s to-do list and see what I got done. At the end of 2022, here’s what I said I wanted to accomplish in 2023… 1. Finish Wedding Leia — YES! I did finish wedding Leia! 2. Rebels Leia — YES! I have been saying I was going to…

all work and no play
I feel like I didn’t get much done last week, but then I look back at where I was last week and realize… I did get a lot done. I finished up Bail. I didn’t like the trim I bought for the neckline, so I made some out of leftover Vader pleather. Also added some elastic loops to the bottom…

Yes, we took Saturday off costume work and did a double feature. We started with breakfast at the Liquor Store: Then off to see Oppenheimer on the imax: Chase got a leg cramp right as they were starting the Trinity test. He had to awkwardly try to get out of the aisle, then was stuck standing in the hall for…

the truth is out there
Did I mention before I’m doing an X-Files rewatch? I was going to watch all of Voyager after finishing TOS, but instead I got sucked into one of my OG fandoms. Fond memories of scouring the 90s internet for X-Files fanfics… Oh and did I mention I’m doing a Scully costume for Dragoncon? LOL Just a cheap quick thing. Using…

huntsville con report!
Hey look I actually titled a blog post what it’s actually about. Yeah a couple of days late with this. Wanted to gather up all the pics first including the ones from Chase’s camera. So Thursday I get off work and go to take a nap and as I lay down, I get an idea. And I have to go…

2021 Wrap-Up
omg hi I haven’t posted this week. I was trying to wait til I had all the new photoshoot pics uploaded, and now that I’ve got them I’m like… augh I haven’t done my wrap-up post for this year! So I’m doing this first instead of a regular post and I’ll do a post about Christmas next. So at the…

Dragoncon Part 2!
Ok I was hoping to have this post up last week, but Chase had a lot of trouble exporting the photos and I was only getting them in chunks. I think I’ve got all of them now, or at least, most of them. Might be a few more stragglers. Besides uploading pics, last week was absolutely crazy at work, and…

back to fake life
I started to title this “back to real life” but I realized doing something normal like going to Dragon Con is real life. Going back to the day-to-day of the last year is the fake life. So — Dragon Con was actually pretty great. I had my reservations, as you may have noticed in the last post. But the low…

dragoncon is nigh
I’ve decided I’m officially considering this dragoncon #20. Actually I take that back. Going to wait and see how the weekend goes. if it sucks this is dragoncon #19. If it’s great it’s dragoncon #20 LOL. This year would’ve been #20 if they hadn’t canceled last year — but i DID participate in the virtual con last year so I…

crying wont help you praying wont do you no good
oh hello. Can you even believe it’s dragoncon week? I can’t. My brain isn’t registering it. Still not done with everything. Still chipping away. Well Padme is done. I got the 3d printed buttons glued onto bases, painted and attached. Here they are before any of that. And I finally finished up the wig. Although once I finished it, I…

thats me in the spotlight
T minus 2 weeks and 2 days til dragoncon. How did it sneak up on us so fast?? You know things are bad because I haven’t packed “the old stuff” yet. Chase and I are trying to quasi-quarantine before the con, only going out when necessary. We’ve both still got hair appointments in the next week, and we’ll have to…

dangerous but irresistible pastime
I recently cleaned out my folder where I keep all my photos for my blog posts, there are some in there that have been there for ages. Among them I found this one: My sweet girl Speaking of cozy puppies, Skye stayed with me for a day while my parents went on a day trip. First up today I have…

Well here we are, it’s monday again. And it’s been another week of panicked flailing around for something to do to work on while dragoncon stares me down in the horizon. I spent pretty much all of last week doing little repairs on older costumes and what not. I fixed my broken Arwen necklace, finished sequining my Dorothy shoes (I…

hey remember how
remember how I called a post a couple of weeks ago “lost weekend”? Well I take that back. This was it. This was the lost weekend. Ugh! I was so excited to have a 3 day weekend and get a lot of costume work done. I ended up being so stuck that by Sunday I didn’t do ANYTHING. We ending…

when it rains it pours
So hey remember how last week my grandma broke her back, I had to spend a very awful night with her in the hospital, and then my laptop died? Well we are apparently in a “season” because in the week after all that, I got sick, Luna got sick, and the AC in my sewing room went out. Today I…

the goblin universe
Yall it has been a CRAZY week. I’m still not fully recovered from Friday. What was Friday, you ask? Well let’s start at the beginning. I’ll do some bolded titles so you can skip past the long bits if you don’t want to read them. Enjoy some weird pics of Luna after I threw some money at her while I…

with thunderous applause
Ugh it’s Monday again. At least next week is only a 4 day work week with Memorial Day. Something to look forward to. Speaking of Memorial Day, I mentioned last week we were going to do a white backdrop shoot that weekend, because I really need Arwen and Eliza pics. But we decided to push it off to July 4…

sail away
It’s Monday again. And once again I really don’t have much in the realm of sewing to show you guys this week. I did do a little. Excited about my new fabric, I decided to start messing around with Liberty Dies Padme. Decided that my smallest hoopskirt was closest to the right shape. It’s not 100% but it’ll work as…

please leave me alone
It’s a Monday after I took a Friday off so of course I am super busy and everybody needs something from me all at once. Please just let me breath LOL. Also the internet keeps going down. I’m writing this post while it’s down… hoping it comes back up soon so I can plug my photos in. I’ve got no…

i wish you would find your chill
Speaking to myself. I normally don’t sew much in Dec-Feb. I’ve made 2 full costumes (accessories not withstanding), and half of a disneybound already. I’m glad I’m getting ahead but also… like, calm down a little bit and stop feeling anxious if I don’t have anything to sew. Like it’s ok. I don’t have a con til March, one in…
