it’s the 2024 costume wrap-up post
Finally! Ok as usual let’s start with what I SAID I wanted to make in 2024 at the end of 2023, and see how I did: 1. Honeymoon Leia – YES! This was kind of a given considering it was mostly done when I made this list in December 2023. 2. Star Wars Cruise Dress – YES! Turned out so…

word vomit
Well this has been a shit 2 weeks since I last posted. On top of the obvious shit news, my uncle (Kevin’s dad), passed away Thursday after a short stint in the hospital. I still have not wrapped my head around the new reality of Daddy Bob being gone, much less this. It’s a lot. I got a new friend.…

dragoncon persists
Well I’m back from dragoncon. It was a weird time. Good? But weird. I felt off the entire time. I did a really bad job at taking pics of my costumes and I’m kicking myself for it now. I also had a ton of plans for videos and didn’t do any of it. It was like I only had a…

HSV Expo Wrap-Up and What-nots
Before I jump into the weekend photos, I’ll cover the few things from the week before… I’m going to have to get more fabric to finish the mock-up for Padme. I do think I finally figured out the hood pieces — I transferred the hood and cape mockup pieces to paper. I still need to figure out fitted sleeves, the…

half way to dragoncon
We’re back from Atlanta! We went down to celebrate Chase’s birthday. But, as usual, let’s start at the beginning. Finished Honeymoon Leia FINALLY. Just got to put a closure on the belt and add the 3d printed pieces Chase is working on. And it needs steamed really bad because it’s been manhandled like crazy the last few weeks. Luna says…

mistakes were made
I have got nothing to post this week really. Yes I could’ve finished my Leia dress. Did I? No, in fact I made it worse. I did get my belting and tried it on with the dress. I’m still not happy with how lumpy the waist-seam looks EVEN THOUGH it’s hidden. I think I said in a previous post I’d…

make the friendship bracelets
I don’t have a lot to chat about this week EXCEPT costume stuff. I worked on Honeymoon Leia every night last week and almost all of that was me monkeying with the back zipper. It took me forever to get it installed without it pulling at the bottom weird. TBH I don’t know what I was thinking doing the zipper…

But let me just go through everything from the beginning. Or as close as I can get. Finished this little puzzle. Gonna glue it together. I…

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…

i’ve dabbled in being a bitch
I actually don’t have much to talk about this week EXCEPT a little bit of progress on honeymoon Leia. I can finally see it coming together! Sleeves! So last week I mentioned I gave up on lining the skirt and just did french seams. I planned to finish the edges with white bias tape – machine sewn on the edge…

dont lose your head
Well. What a week. Last Monday was HVAC install day. Our front yard with all the old stuff was a disaster area. They were here for nearly 12 hours that day. The new ductwork takes up SO MUCH more attic space 🙁 I could just barely fit everything back in. I had just cleaned this space and our closet spaces…

the horrors persist, but so do i
Whelp. Remember how last week I talked about my dressform breaking? Well, it broke AGAIN. I was readjusting the waist measurements and the entire interior waist components popped off. Ugh. Guess a new form is what I’m spending my christmas money on — though apparently they dont make the burgundy one anymore? I’m going to have to get the beige…
