Hey guys! One final, and kind of pithy update before Friday. Yay, party time! Anyway. Painted the boots I got from Savers, and made some gloves out of some pleather I picked up at ~Walmart~ and it was wicked easy because it was basically the exact same cut I used for my Amidala gloves I made something like 5 years ago at this point. Anywho. Have ( Read more... )

    Hello everybody! I am back with another update, and some exciting news: The two main parts of the costume are essentially done! YAY! I took a bit of a break from this project to prep for school start, but to be honest, I was mostly just waiting until my linen for the yoke of the shirt showed up. It did on Wednesday, so I finished making my mock ( Read more... )

Hey!
So I vowed myself that once I got back from my roadtrip to New Orleans, I would start hauling ass on my halloween costume so I can help as many of my friends out as possible. And thus far (not trying to jinx it here) I am doing alright. School starts in a week so we'll see how that factors into my scheme. Anyway. I got off the road on Saturday ( Read more... )

   Hello everyone! So, I guess it didn't take very long for me to find myself a new costume project. And, to tell the truth, I was already plotting it well before I had even finished making my Furfur costume. So, here's the scoop:

So, this is it guys, the finished garment- and this one is definately up there in some of my favorite dresses a.) cuz it's an original work, and b.) I think it fits me the best c.) came out looking rather professional. Bragging. Whoa! Sorry!
Anyway,Last minute alterations: taking it in a couple inches in the back (don't know how or when that ( Read more... )

So, in my original plate of the costume, I drew this weird crown/headband/circlet type deal that I had essentially given up on, but of course, at the last minute I changed my mind and roughed something together.
My original doodle was based off of a Christmas ornament I had seen it Hobby Lobby, but since the holidays are long since over I had no ( Read more... )

Good news. The dress, it's essentially finished. Need bop in the zipper and "hem" it (hem: serge once I fix my serger). There a couple small alterations that need to be made to adjust the fit so it all falls just right, but nothing so drastic that it takes it out of the stage of being "complete".
The beadwork on the facing on the capelet went a lot ( Read more... )

So, more beading has transpired in the time since my last post. Nothing crazy-extensive since my last post. But I did start to assemble my capelet, which includes sewing/beading the trim on that. So it's about 3.5' of hand-beading and I've only just finished the first row of beads. Wasn't bad, as I've said all along, just time consuming, and as I ( Read more... )

No real need for a description. Just pictures.
