blah
LOL I have apparently already had 10 other posts named “Blah.” This is “blah 11.” I am almost done with everything. Should be finished up this weekend… in fact everything is looking good enough that I’m switching my days off around. I’d originally put down I’d be off next Thursday and Friday (even though we aren’t leaving til Friday). I’d…

Dressform Pics
Here’s everything so far. I’m only missing 3 actually so maybe I should have waited, but our server is down at work and I’m bored. Belldandy and Urd from 2003 and 2002, respectively. These two costumes have really stood the test of time. I knew Belldandy was in good shape since I wore her to Momocon earlier this year, but…

GMX Pics: Part 2
Got the rest of my pics uploaded last night! A few pics of Sarah Sanderson from friday night: Time Lords visiting the Doctor… Kevin really was out of his element in this costume – the collar was uncomfortable for him, he had trouble walking in it – but he FELT really cool, haha. Peggy with a couple of Caps: I…

GMX 2014 – part 1
Got back home late last night from GMX! I only have my iphone photos so far – which is mostly pictures of Kevin – but tonight I’ll download the pics off my camera. (Chase forgot his flash so no nice pictures from this weekend, sadly) In the meantime, here’s my little recap and a handful of Kevin pictures. Friday we…

Hocus Pocus preview

So the only news of any import is that we did a Hocus Pocus photoshoot this past weekend. YAY! Haven’t gotten them all yet but here’s a preview. I’m really excited about the rest. We didn’t do them…

Hocus Pocus Costumes In-Depth
I thought I’d go a little more in-depth on our Hocus Pocus costumes than I did on my construction page. I had a lot of fun making them and didn’t get to share it here on my blog as much as I would have liked, since they were supposed to be a surprise! Firstly I started out by digging up…

Birthday Stuff and Dcon 2012 Pics
I had a really great birthday! 🙂 Chase got me this amazing Haunted Mansion sign: I’ve already put it up in the hallway and am now planning to turn the whole hallway into a Disney hallway LOL Speaking of which, Chase and I booked out Disneyworld anniversary trip last week. We won’t be able to go on our actual anniversary,…

Hocus Pocus thoughts
I wanted to write a little more about our Hocus Pocus costumes, because I was thinking in the car just how much of those costumes I dyed LOL Really it’s easier to list what I did NOT dye, than to list what I dyed. I did NOT dye: Mary’s skirt Mary’s bodice lining Winnie’s darker purple skirt Winnie’s sleeves Winnie’s…

Costume Updates: Wasp, Batgirl, Belle

Another costume down: Winnie Sanderson
Finished Cath’s Winnie costume, minus the belt buckle piece on the front. I’ve got the pieces ready for the buckle piece, I’m going to put them together today and pin them on, I need to try it on her one more time to make sure I don’t get it too tight. I may just lightly sew it in place, or…

Costume Progress Collage
I made this yesterday and forgot to post it last night. A little collage of everything I’m working on:

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…

Costume Progress and a Giant Photo of a Book
So, haven’t had much to post lately. I finished up the main part of Ash’s Mary costume, I’m quite happy with how it turned out. We just need to get her shirt fabric, and making the shirt won’t take long. Hem her skirt and weather it all and we’re good to go and I can mark another one off my…

More Hocus Pocus progress
I just about finished my Hocus Pocus costume. Just need to finish reenforcing the eyelets, and put a closure on the skirt.

The Time Lord & Witch sweatshop
Three Time Lord robes in-progress Derek’s needs the sleeve pieces sewn together, Chase’s has the sleeves cut but I need to go through and put the stabilizer and interfacing and lining on. I took mine apart to recut the lining of the main body and the sleeves. I’ve got one other side to unpick tonight, then I can cut the…
