Back to the Craft Store

I know, I know. It's been ages since I posted anything. I finished up the Worth Jacket project I was working on, and I'll try to throw together a post either later today or this week. We'll see.

Time for a list of still unfinished projects, and some *new ones:
~Kari's Xmas present
~A new Conbat, made of super soft fuzzy fabricy goodness*
~Messenger bag, because I'm sick of all my purses*
~Veser hoodie for Momocon/D*Con, whichever it gets done by.
~Another blouse is probably on the way, in BLUE this time. :D

Hm...yep. Lets see how much I can get done before I go back to class. I'm gonna be so broke!

I don't have time to do a full part 1 post for my Worth Jacket just yet, but I thought I'd slap up a teaser photo of the half of the front I got finished today.

SHINY, isn't it? Already started on the second half of the front and totally screwed it up by making the pocket half an inch higher, and I'm nearly positive I don't have enough fabric left to redo? Trying that is in consideration, though.

I also think that the pockets are a bit too high in general, but there's nothing I can do about it now. LE SIGH. Dear computer, stop making that weird noise.

Wait...hold on. That Snuggie ad just terrified me. I need a second to recover...


WHOA. Ok. So! Found a Burda pattern at Joann yesterday that is, like, PERFECT for my Doc Worth Coat project! I'm super excited about it, and I hope to get going on it this week, since my computer's in for repairs. The pattern is going to take way fewer modifications than the other one I had, so I think it's going to be much, much easier for me. GNEE!! I'll try to do some actual step by step pictures this time. :D

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.

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

Another top planned from Burda Style, because I'm tired of not having a red blouse and not being able to find any that I like in the store. Have yet to decide if I want to do the long, turned over cuffs or not. Any opinions?












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
