Halloween, Part 2
Well this was probably the most disappointing Halloween in a long time. Since the only people who see me at my job are my coworker and my boss, and it was cold that day… I just wore Chase’s Spike kigu to work over regular clothes. Over the weekend I decided that for Halloween night, I’d wear my DCNU Wonder Woman…

Hoth Leia, Padme Nightgown and Dorothy updates
This weekend is Horrorfest; I’m trying to get Hoth Leia finished for it. I worked a little bit last night, but the sewing machine was being horrid to me so I quit (I swear, the needle came unthreaded three times in the space of, like, 5 minutes. The last time I just quit. I had been up since 5:45 yesterday,…

Padme Nightgown, Dorothy, etc
I worked for a while tonight, and got some good stuff done! Padme’s Nightgown – Got the basic thing put together. I really don’t like this McCall’s pattern – it’s strange. I used it for the basic pieces, made it larger to take out the fitted aspect of the bodice, and completely eliminated the bonig. The way they had the…

Upcoming Costume Schedules
There are five or six projects I want to work on over the winter months. Dorothy, which might hit the backburner. I was going to make it for halloween – still might – but now I’m not going to be in Memphis to do the group with everybody that weekend so it kinda makes it pointless. However, I might go…

I’m just so tired and ready for all this stuff to be done. It’s gotten to the point where I’m not even really thinking about dcon anymore, i’m just wanting all the costume stuff to be done for a while.
