I had a last minute sewing/Halloween-ish marathon the end of last week. It was pretty crazy. For Halloween itself, I wore Jane during the day, because I was looking for something easy. (Yeah, I don't know what easy is - I just didn't want to wear a wig or ballgown). When I got home, I finished doing party prep, and then changed into Ariel (see - ( Read more... )

I finished the last bit of Rapunzel on Sunday morning, and wore her to our cast party on Sunday night. Here's a pic: www.instagram.com/p/B4JpkkZAxBU/
I'm also planning to wear her to a Disney cosplay shoot on this Saturday, though I hope it won't be too cold! I'm really pleased with how it came out - tbh, I like it way better than the actual ( Read more... )

Had a little time for sewing on Tuesday, so I managed to get 6 fireworks embroidered on the skirt (I am now thinking there will be about 35 total), and while I was doing that, I also cut out the lower sleeves for Ariel, sewed them together, and attached one of them to the puffy part of the sleeve. Earlier that day, I had to wait on a rental car to ( Read more... )

My mom was in town from Thurs afternoon till Sat morning, and the only sewing I did while she was here was to finish the last 5.5" of Rapunzel embroidery, and put the waistband on the Dole Whip skirt. So anyway, the Dole whip outfit is done, minus the ears, which aren't going to be started till I at least finish all my Halloween sewing.

On Sunday, ( Read more... )

Two posts in two days? Amazing.

Anyway, slight update to the sewing plans. I went to the thrift store on my way home yesterday, and apparently Fate/Value Village really wants me to do a Dole Whip Disneybound. Last time I was there, I found a short-sleeved yellow sweater with a pineapple on it, and yesterday, in the dress section (aka, not where it ( Read more... )

I got my sewing machine back from the shop on Thursday afternoon last week. Since then, I've done more on the Rapunzel embroidery, but it feels like it's going so slowly (even though now my machine is able to run at almost twice the speed, which is certainly nice). I'm one motif shy of being halfway done with the skirt, but I believe there's a ( Read more... )

The BB-8 baby dress is finished and in the mail! Picture here: www.instagram.com/p/B2tH5vBAP7W/

Of course, while I was doing the embroidery, I found out that when I brought my machine in for service a couple months ago, something must have been put back a little wrong, because when I started embroidering at the 600 speed (medium), it started ( Read more... )

I finished the other corset commission last week and shipped that off. This weekend I will probably start on the BB-8 baby dress commission, which is my last for a moment, though I will probably have some stuff for the caroling group to do in a couple weeks.

But in the meantime, what I'm really excited about is starting my skirt for Disney World. I ( Read more... )

I really don't feel like I made that much this year. I'm not sure if that's because I just started sewing for the first time in two months, or if it's actually true, though. So here's what I made:

1830s plaid silk dress and yellow bonnet, made for wearing in Oliver, plus the Victorian Festival and Costume College

Fell off the posting (and reading) wagon for a little while. Disneyland was wonderful! I didn't wind up finishing the white cotton blouse for the Disney print jumper, and I didn't make the tam for Merida, but I had alternatives, so it didn't even matter.

My friend Rachel and I flew down early Friday morning, dropped our luggage off at the hotel ( ( Read more... )
