General Progress

Packing it in for the night. So tired...I'll finish that coat tommorrow.

Also, started making a totally awesome cuff(singular-assymetry is KEY) for the Caterpillar....I love antique Kimono fabric.

... So, um, I've decided I'm not as good at sewing as I pretend to myself that I am. Next time I will stare at material for a good solid hour before I decide which side I like best. (SO MANY HOURS WAISTED. //sob)

Started making a petticoat today though. It's a "I have no clue how to do this, so I'll just go with what my head thinks works", which most of the time doesn't.

... So, um, yeah. It's actually pretty cool so far =w= I'll try and get some eleastic for it tomorrow, so that I can finish it. And maybe some lace to finish the ends off, if I feel the need to decorate something that most people won't see 8DD.

... I like how there might be enough material because I'm so short 8DDDDD.

@ Pura, I had something of the same experience. I made a pair of pleather pants and almost had a heart attack when I thought I cut out two right legs.

@Thread: Dress is slowwwly coming along. As its the first I've ever made, I don't think its doing too badly. Tomorrow -- sleeves and sailor collar.

I've been lazy with sewing this week DXX
Hopefully I'll finish cutting out material tomorrow, and possibly sew the bits of the skirt tomorrow. Then I get to figure out what patterns to paint on it >__>

I think they came out quite well, but the shaft is still white, so I may have to paint them. Also THEY ARE EVERYWHERE. Bed. Desk. Windowsill. Sewing machine. Bookcase. @_____@

Finally! Have finished up Red mage coat for Tracer...just gotta tidy it up a bit.

It looks kinda like a Badass santa, what with the white trimming on red....Hopefully this effect will be lessened when it has the cape over the top.

Run into a snag on a commission - I am two freakin' inches too short of fabric to finish it. ARGH. Will be finished early next week, customer - you know who you are! ;D Another commission is looking good - will also be finished early next week. Yay money!

@Static: I wish I had that...lol

I am letting my Followers on Twitter determine my next costume to make today...either Quetesh from SG1 or River Tam from Serenity...Quetesh is winning...

EDIT: I made a Confessor Dagger last night ;D

I really need to put my glove making tutorial online. I've made enough of the suckers, and as they are custom drafted fit perfectly ;) Yeah, will get that sorted. Along with a few others I want to put online.

Spoiler:

It took three hours last night to overlock the lining pieces together, overlock the pleated panels together and then pin the two layers back together again.
So much pinning and repinning and unpinning and pinning again ;)

what character is that for? looks like C.Cs Clamp gown.

I got my Nihilus mask and fabric

**Guest** Guest

I got fabric and a wig head today, going to start styling wigs.

I managed to make it to Harrads fabric shop before it closed. So I now have two lots of fabric for one top and two props or under $20. And the prop fabric is unique in fabric shops in NZ, and end of line stock (cheap as a result too)? Backed industrial nylon, in black. Suppose to be for fabric boards, think notice boards. I will use it for gun holsters since I can't find the proper stuff. (Mechwarrior and Jayne/Firefly). Stiff as stuff.
Will keep me busy for a little while.

And my flatmate is looking at the patterns for the Jayne Cobb hat too. So either she will make them, or I will learn to knit. But ... Jayne ... Hat!

I.. uh...

watched TeniMyu while my internet was screwed in order to try and figure out how to do Oishi's hair? 8D

I partook in an awesome photoshoot? I count this as progress anyway, seeing as we'd been planning to do an FF4 shoot for a long while now.

By **Admin**. 16/01/10, 10:03 am

^This. 8D

So excited to see the photos.

All up in your forums, spamming your portal.

By azeria. 16/01/10, 10:29 am

I finally cut out all the pieces for the skirt part of my sakura dress XD

Now to sew them together. Then I get to continue painting 8D
Oh I also painted a plain tshirt I bought~
Mother needs to go back to work so I can get her to enlarge pictures for the other ones I have planned =P
