Batgirl & stuff
Saturday I got to spend a few hours as Batgirl at the Jackson Generals Superhero night! It was really fun though I absolutely burnt up! I have a handful more; but all these were just taken on Chase’s iphone because I forgot my real camera at my grandma’s house! It was super hot, I had to take several breaks to…

2013 Year in Review
2013 on its surface looks like I was a lazy bum on the sewing front this year. So, first, let’s look back at what I said I wanted to accomplish in 2013: Romana I Yes! I actually did this one! Yay! an Edwardian dress No. I did a ton of planning for it, got fabric samples, and then decided it…

Batgirl Pics
I’m in love with the shots we took on the white back drop after MCFC! There were so many I liked I had trouble weeding them down to pick out which ones to post. But here’s a few. My favourites are up in my portfolio and the rest are over at my flickr account.

MCFC!
Been busy the past few days! But Saturday we headed over to MCFC for a few hours, and it was a lot of fun. I wore Batgirl. Although since I’d curled my hair AND it was warmer out than I’d thought it would be (thus I was quite toasty) I never wore the cowl at the con, just carried it.…

Dragoncon Costumes: Everything Else
Thoughts & Pics on all the “old” stuff I wore this year… 1. Belle I wore Belle Friday morning for a while. Had wanted to wear it again but didn’t get a chance. (Well, that’s a lie, there were chances… I just didn’t have the energy for it!) I love how it looks with my Marie Antoinette hoops, and really…

Dragoncon 2013!
Well I’ve been home from Dragoncon for a few days but haven’t posted a thing here – sorry! It was a good year. Even though I felt like i was a day ahead the whole time (Thursday felt like Friday, Friday felt like Saturday) by the end of it, it felt like it had rushed by way too fast. I…

More from yesterday
SO I already posted about yesterday a bit, but here’s some more. I was up really early yesterday thanks to a migraine, so I got up and ran out and bought a garment rack. It’s been driving me crazy and holding up my packing progress to not be able to bring my costumes I need to hang up into the…

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,…

Argh: Belle and Batgirl
Can dragoncon just be here so I don’t have to keep sewing?? LOL I’ve almost got Belle done. All the swags are finished, they just need to be attached, and then beading and roses. Here’s a shot from last night. And here’s my Batgirl belt “buckle.” Along with a bracelet my husband made for me out of one that didn’t…

Batgirl progress
Yesterday I cleaned my office from top to bottom. It took most of the morning but my office is a much more pleasant place to be now. I then tackled Batgirl again, instead of Belle like I said I was going to. I finished the boots – the top’s a little more wrinkly than I’d like but at this point…

Cath’s costume needs the front piece sewn in ( can’t do until she comes to try it on on wednesday), sew the trim on, sew the lower sleeves…

Dragoncon updates: Group Costumes, etc
Still plugging along, but I don’t have much to show since for the past week I’ve been working nonstop on the two group costumes. One group is completely done except sewing on some hook and eyes and velcro. The other group is about 70% there and my plan is to have it done by Saturday. That leaves me two solid…

I have pants
I finished my Batgirl pants. Only took two tries. But they fit decently well… and I never want to make pants without a pattern ever again. So tonight I will start on the waist section…. I dyed Cath’s Winnie costume last night. Seems to have turned out pretty well, although I ran out of one colour to mix with the…

Working, or not… Batgirl stuff
So I don’t have a lot to show right now. I’ve been on some meds than been irritating my stomach really bad, to the point it’s hard to do much of anything except lay on the couch and rub my stomach. Today is my last day on the medicine, though, so hopefully it’ll be better soon. I did get Cath’s…
