Costuming Insanity
Working on the Namine commission for Adrienne's friend, and scrambling to finish my Mother Confessor *runs in circles and combusts*
Sooo, I probably should have been medicated for all this, but I've been enjoying this whole actually eating food business far too much. I will have to start taking it more often if I'm going to finish though. Bleh.
The Namine dress is pretty simple, so that shouldn't be a problem. The only challenge is the scalloped hem, and getting them even. I am nervous about it fitting Kim, since I won't have time to fit it on her before Tuesday. Here's hoping the crazy measurement-sizing ordeal worked out...
Badass Mother Confessor... oh man, so much to do!!
Current dilemma is that the woman at the fabric store misheard me and only gave me 1.5 yards instead of 2.5 yards. Well, crap. Since I didn't go back right away, they are now out, and I'll have to check other locations.
The Dreaded Far-Too-Long To-Do List
* finish sewing the leathery lacing onto the second sleeve by hand and lace it (which takes foreeeever, and is mostly what I've been doing up until now, along with fussing over the pattern)
* sew the details and finishing onto the cuffs of the sleeves
* attach sleeves
* make hood and attach it
* sew on piping
* sew lacing onto the back
* make any fit adjustments
* make ohshitcorset (Which entails many steps of its own, and will have to be done with *sob gag* plastic boning for now. May redo it later, Kahlan deserves steel)
* do all the topstitching on the corset
* get 7-8 yards of lacing so I can lace myself in (and figure out how to hide it so the BAMC doesn't have a tail)
* make the metal details and figure out how to attach them
* find more fabric!! >.<
* make epic skirt of sexiness
* add the scalloped triangle edging (yes, they are scalloped, damn you wonderful HD screenshots!!) and the lacing
* find my boots and make bootcovers with sheaths for daggers
* find my silver dagger and try to acquire a twin at least for pictures and showing off later
* make replicas of hilts for Comic Con
* make belts
* get used to not using my arms very much, vinyl is not flexible
Ooooh gods, this is going to be a tight one. I shouldn't have procrastinated so much, but at least I have until Friday. And really diving into this would probably be good for me.
