TooooDAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY...
...I HAD THE PERFECT CUP OF COFFEE! :D
*ahem*
Hokay, so Momocon is TOMORROW. DX So much to do! But it's a testament to my sewing skills that I honestly believe I can get it all done today, even though I have to work for most of the day!
Here's what's left to do on Miyako:
The helmet is easy enough, but I have to figure out how to give it the raised parts near the ears, the lines that go across the top, and not make the front look like crap. Paper machee?
The vest is simple, I have the whole three pieces of it cut out already, I just have to sew them together, put in the zipper, and fiddle with the seams until it fits me. Oh, and put in pockets. Delicious pockets. :3
The backpack I just literally traced out a pattern for yesterday and have everything cut out for. The interfacing I'm using isn't as stiff as I'd like, but it'll work. This backpack is going to be AWESOME, by the way. I just need to buy a zipper for it, good thing I work today! :3
The boot covers will be, like Filia's, a last-minute experiment on what exactly I can do with flannel, batting, and my former Liz boots. xD
Oh, and I don't have ridiculous glasses. *sad* I'll try to find some for NashiCon, since I'm definitely gonna rewear this costume to that! I've got all the stuff to make her real-world outfit with the bandana of awesome, so I'll probably be in that for most of the con (the maid café definitely, if I have time I'll even make an apron with the crests of Love and Sincerity on it )
I also have to dye and straighten my hair, fix parts of Ling (mostly the jacket), fix parts of the Roberta costume (like the apron), find the red umbrella (or buy one?), and find the extension I used for my Tsubaki costume and sacrifice it to make my braids epicly long. Or just go buy a $2 extension pack from the Sally Beauty two stores over from work, whichever works. (oh god unintentional pun *shot*)
I'm really talky when I've had coffee! WHEE COFFEE!
After MomoCon is over I have two commissions to crank out - a generic Bleach uniform for daftdragon and a to-scale Tentomon plushie for vin_faucon . I'll also try to crank out my real-world Miyako and a Poromon plush if I can swing it. Then I'm going to go into full-gear NashiCon mode! Preparing for the maid cafe, making all the stuff for OTAKU, and cranking out as many small plushies as I possibly can. That means I'm gonna start carrying a sewing case and an assortment of colors of fleece with me at all times. Driving to work? I'll be sewing. Waiting on food in a restaurant? I'll be sewing. TBR? I'll be sewing. Walking down the street?
...well, maybe not THEN. xDD
Less than a month until NashiCon, guys! *oh god wait less than a month until NashiCon OH SHI-*

Here's what's left to do on Miyako:
- hit the helmet with a few more coats of spraypaint
- comb out the wig
- make the vest (including a zipper pull for the vest)
- make the backpack
- make the boot covers (stitch together the outer parts, put in the batting, hand-stitch on the white parts)
