Soo. Spent a large part of my day yesterday sewing up the Emily blouse, finding out how much of a bitch collars are, etc, only to find out that it's too small! WHO'DA THUNK?! I apparently just need to shut up, and do what the pattern tells me to do. So, I'll have to get more fabric and start over. Woooo...
In other news, I've got another project to add to the list, a seeecret Christmas present project.
So we've got now:
~Emily blouse (general wear and for Femme!Conrad costume for Halloween {If I get it done by then.})
~Doc Worth jacket (future cosplay and, let's face it, it's awesome)
~Secret Xmas project
~Veser hoodie (for Dragon*Con next year, but that likely won't get tacked until the summer)
Still have to get pictures of the Adelaide and "Float On" hoodies.
The Emily shirt's frustrating me a little bit. I'm going to go check out the pattern they have a Joann and see if the instructions are any different, because I SWEAR I'm missing something out of there. Freaking out a little bit, because this shirt's going to be part of my Halloween costume, and I need to get it done by the 30th. However, I've got two papers this weekend, and one next weekend.
In the meantime, check out a video of just how awesome Ludo is!
Ludo FTW!
Finished Leg of Mutton
1 comments is not enough! Typed up by DoubtingSalmon at Monday, October 11, 2010
Finished the Leg of Mutton top. I'm lazy and will post what I said on my DA:
The shirt was pretty simple to put together, and I actually had a lot of fun with the gathering and stuff. Over all, I'd recommend giving this one a try, but there's only one size to the pattern, and it's a little too small for me. If I'd realized it, I'd have made narrow part of the sleeves a little bit larger so they're not so skin tight like these are. I'd also make the shirt longer, because it is pretty short.
And yes, that's a necklace I made from my HINABN pins, because I wanted to wear them around, but was too paranoid I'd loose them all the time. Only ones missing are the AX ones (which are secured on my bookbag), Lee, and the shirt and tie pin, which is misplaced, at the moment. I know it's not lost lost but...stupid thing disappeared!
Photos taken by a couple of friends. :D
Up next is going to be the Emily top. Hopefully will be able to start work on it this week. Sorry there weren't more step by step photos for this one. I always forget to grab my camera when I go downstairs to get to work, and then I get really focused and don't even think about pausing for photos.
My grandmother just gave us her sewing machine (only 3 years old! :D), so now my sister and I are going to put one of them upstairs odds are, it'll help me remember to take more pics. Wee!
Also: finished both the Adelaide hoodie as well as the "Float On" hoodie, but I've yet to get photos taken. Sorry! I'll try to get some this week. :D
Some newly developed projects of mine are more immediate matters (and can only get done when I get my room straightened up...it's HORRIBLE in here!), because they're not cosplay related...well, one of them is. XD
First up will be me creating this awesome top from Burda Style; there's a large grey and black houndstooth that I've got in store for it. :D

And lastly on my list for some fall/winter styles is a coat that I can actually use for a cosplay, but may just wear it because it's AWESOME! I speak, of course, of Doc Worth's jacket from the February reward comic! A friend of mine's got a pattern I'm going to use as a base, but there's going to be a lot of modifications. They scare me, but I think I can manage! We chose a darkish khaki canvas for the coat, and I've got lots and lots of left fur still for the collar. Doc needs more fur clothes so I can get rid of this stuff. XD
