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…

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…

Dragoncon 2011 Costume Recap
First up, Supergirl. My plan was to wear Supergirl all Thursday night; I ended up wearing it for about 20 minutes because I wanted to put on Donna. So now that Supergirl was out of the way (LOL) I wore Donna the rest of the night – there were so many Doctor Who people around and with K9 out, it…

Sneak Peeks: Lady Blackhawk, Donna Noble, etc
Here’s a few pics I took of stuff I was working on fri-sat. Trying on Lady Blackhawk. My hat is huge! LOL. I will always have that problem because I have a tiny head. Hippolyta embroidery. It’s not perfect, but it’s going to show up a LOT better than the original drawn on lines. It’s a pain and taking longer…

Lady Blackhawk is done!
It’s a crappy pic, sorry LOL I got my patch blanks earlier this week, and got the hawks embroidered last night, and sewed the patches on this morning. I’m pretty pleased with how they turned out; they’re not perfect, especially since I realised about halfway through the first one that I’d reversed the symbol when I drew on my guide.…

Lots of Updates, Still no Pics
I need to break out the real camera and take some pics to post. My blog is awful bland with no pics. I’ve been working on “Pink Barf” – got the suit picked apart and cut the legs off. Got new front pieces cut. I had to go back and re-dye them because the chunk of leftover material I dyed…

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…

Lady Blackhawk updates, old pics
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…

April Costumes
I’ve got 2 costumes I’m supposed to be tackling this month: Donna and Lady Blackhawk. I got a fabric sample for Donna that I’m mulling over, for the jacket. I can’t decide if I like it not. I have a pattern that should be easy enough to mod. Found shirt fabric I like. Hair is a work-in-progress 🙂 Should be…
