I finished my Marie corset, only to be totally unhappy with the fit. It's "ok" right now - a tad big. I already took it up a a ton and it's still overlapping in spots. The tabs along the bottom are stretching out too far, and it's not pulling tight around my waist - the only place it's pulling tight is around my rib cage, and I just don't feel ...
I got the corset put together last night. I had to take some of the boning out and trim some of them so I could take it up, because it was too big the first time. I just pinned it on the dressform to take a quick pic: Tonight I've got to put the lining in, finish the bottom and start putting the edging on. I've got to get eyelets, ...
So apparently taking a whole imitrex in the afternoon leaves me wired for the rest of the night. I feel like I'm on drugs or something. Taking a a partial one makes me feel a kind-of cool anticipation feeling in my chest... this is that x10. So. I started Marie Antoinette. I haven't taken any pics yet. I'll try to take some tomorrow. I'm using Simplicity 3635 and 3637, with help from ...
I'm posting this so I don't forget. Ms Marvel - black suit Ms Marvel/Moonstone - red suit Lady Blackhawk Donna Noble Marie Antoinette Surprise #1 Surprise #2 Surprise #3 Surprise #4 (maybe) Enchantress Queen Hippolyta Shadowcat (my old one from dragoncon 2002. I thought it would be fun to wear it 10 years apart.)
I got started on Marie Antoinette. Got my corset started, and my panniers cut out. A long way to go but it's a start. Otherwise didn't do a lot this weekend. Helped my mum move stuff out of her classroom, watched Doctor Who, did yardwork, and Ash came over today and made a sockmonkey. Basketball season is over, which I'm sad for because the Grizz lost and I won't have ...
This weekend was busy! I had Friday off and worked on Ms Marvel/Moonstone off and on - I had a sinus headache thing going on so I slept when i wasn't working. We went out with Ashley & Kevin friday night and saw Thor - it was great. Saturday Chase was at the Grizz game allll day, from around 12:30 to 8. I spent the day finishing up Ms Marvel and ...
My Donna Noble jacket is finished, except for finding buttons. Chase cut out the leather pieces of the belt for me, once he's got those shaped right I've got to dye them and get them attached to the elastic and get the buckle put on. I'm really not happy with the tank top I got - it doesn't even look purple in this pic, looks white. It's way too pale. ...
Here's my pics of the donna jacket, start to finish so far.
One week worth of work: It's almost done! I'm actually on schedule to have 2 costumes done for dragoncon by the end of this month. I can't believe it LOL Tomorrow I am OFF work and I'm going to the zoo with my awesome husband of THREE years (as of tomorrow!). I've been looking forward to this for months so I'm super excited :D
Like I said last post, I am powering through Lady Blackhawk - I actually think I'm pretty well on schedule to have both Donna and Lady Blackhawk done by the end of the month, which would mean TWO costumes down for Dragoncon already. Here's Lady Blackhawk as of Sunday night: Tonight I'm putting the zipper in, and getting the waistband on the skirt. Also: Dragoncon postcards! YAY! Chase's came Saturday, ...
