How about some costuming content?

Wow, it's been a while since I've visited that space. Too long. It's mid-CostumingJuly! Need to get to work. Wait... according to The Now Habit, that's negative self-talk and instead I choose to get to work. I'd love to get to work! I'd love to pull out my sewing machine right fucking now and whip up something gorgeous. But there's other work to be

That's gorgeous! (All of it - the fabrics, the design...)

Explain to me this mid-CostumingJuly?

Thanks! The elves clearly have all their textiles made in India. ;)

So, last year after Dragon*Con, I realized that was when I kind of made "new year's resolutions" of a sort of what I was going to accomplish. And that D*C itself felt kind of like the New Year's Day of the costuming year. So I came up with this concept of the costuming year, September being CostumingJanuary, October is CostumingFebruary and so on. If I've counted correctly, March is CostumingJuly. It gives me a better idea of how long I have to get stuff done and it's kind of a fun way to differentiate those projects from other areas of expertise.
