Fluttershy and Romana II Photos
Here’s some new shots of my Fluttershy and Romana II costumes…! My Fluttershy shots were much needed. I only had a handful from Dragoncon and none by myself. And the Romana II pics too: My portfolio’s been updated with these and the rest are over at my flickr account.

Romana & Belle Progress
This post is useless without pictures, but ah well. I finished Belle, finally, with the exception of the hairbow. I bought some ribbon that’s fairly close and I’m hoping to just make a bow and glue it to a barrette, instead of having to tie it on everytime like I’ve done in the past. Romana is almost done, too. I’ve…

Random costume notes
Not a lot to mention recently. I posted on my main page that I got my Batgirl mask! I’m so excited about it. I’m doing the new 52 version, mostly because I like the purple cape. I’ve only barely started planning it; I’ve ordered some swatches for the suit and I’m going to start patterning it soon. I got my…

I would like to put in a complaint…
…that weekends go by way too quickly. So anyway. Got a bit done this weekend. Got the laundry room nearly put back together. It looks nice. Very happy. I’ll post a pic soon. Finished up my Donna top, and nearly got Romana finished except I ran out of bobbin when I had about 5 inches left to go hemming it.…

Romana, plus comments

Romana + house work
The house is still a disaster thanks to us painting the laundry room, but it’s getting there. I forgot to take a before-photo of the laundry room before we took everything out, and before we stacked the washer and dryer. But here it is pre-painting: Only room in the house we’ve never done anything to – that floor tile is…

Romana II in-progress
Made some progress on Romana this past week. I started out with a pdf pattern, drew out the pieces on newsprint and cut them out of some $1 a yard fabric I’ve had hanging around. Took it part and used it to cut out my black fabric (leftover from Lady Blackhawk!). I got the top pieces put together with their…
