Kaylee Dress. FINALLY FINISHED!

Yeah.... it's finally done....
Finished it as of about half an hour ago.
Now... I'm wondering what to do next.
I know i didn't update while I was sewing the ruffles and making the overskirt.
I should have, but i've been busy.
I'm so happy that this is finally finished though.

Happy Cosplaying

Kaylee Update and Possible new costume

Okay so I haven't updated for a bit..

Two things mainly. Bodice is basically done aside from tailoring and sewing on the buttons.... I also need a ribbon belt which I forgot about the first time..

also... I now have all the fabric i need for the skirt. and I caved a bought a hoopskirt.
because I'm lazy and I don't have a lot of time on my hands

The next quick costume i'm going to attempt is Bennett Halverson from Dollhouse. it's relatively simple aside from the part where the character of Bennett has a dead arm. In a sling with a black glove. Might be tricky.
other than that, I can basically use my own clothes aside from the red hairclip

I'll post photos later
until then

Kaylee update

Hi all

Until my next update

Kaylee Update (Might modify this post with more pics)

Hi there

More updates
sleeves are done, but are currently unattached from the rest of the bodice until i figure out how to attach them.
I also now have the buttons and time to actually try and finish this.
My goal is to get the bodice done by the end of this week... though in theory... I could be done tonight.

So I might edit this post and throw up pics of the finished bodice.

Until I post again

Kaylee Update (Includes photos)

Hi All

I know I don't normally update during the week... but I have something to actually post today, as well as the promised photos.

But first to the updates
I've been a busy bee tonight and now my bodice for my dress is 70ish% done.
I'm happy enough with it to post photos... well a photo.

 Bodice... is 70% done...ish.. still need to add details... sleeves... the first layer of ruffles, and additional tailoring will be done later

 My Dr Who scarf... it's long enough to go around three people.

My weird loki inspired head band thing...

4 pipecleaners 

Also i'm reconsidering commissioning a loki cosplay costume and thinking about doing it myself... if anyone can forward me to any good tutorials, that will be a big help.

And Tomorrow is cosplay thursday... I'm going to do a partial Coraline cosplay wearing what elements of the costume I have. I'll post photos if I remember.

Happy Cosplaying

I'll post again as soon as I can

Kaylee and Coraline update, plus possible new costume and dr who scarf..

Hi everyone

It's been a couple months since my last update.
But I have things actually worth mentioning this time around.
I now have a sewing machine, which means I actually started sewing my Kaylee dress today. (FINALLY!)  The back panel is kinda confusing me at the moment, because this in general is breaking new ground for me. I'll post photos when I've got the bodice to at least a 50% finished stage, right now it's at the 17%ish stage.

I also now have a raincoat for my Coraline cosplay.
Which means all i really need now is possibly a blue wig and yellow gumboots.

Also for those who know me from other sites.. yeah... might have noticed a mild obsession with the character of Loki from  Avengers and Thor. If you haven't seen either already. GO AND WATCH THEM. they are awesome. back on topic,
yeah.
I'm currently considering a genderswapped loki cosplay costume as well.. either that or a dress inspired by loki's costume... possibly both.
I'll get back you all on that one, I still have Princess Luna from MLP to finish as well as my River Tam dress. but they are further down the list of things to get done.

Also I've knitted a seemingly freakishly long dr who scarf.
Pics will come when i next do a photo post. I got the pattern off here.
It was a fun activity and was something i've always wanted to make.

Happy Cosplaying
I promise photos ASAP

Armageddon (Photo Time!)

Hi there
Armageddon was this weekend just passed, and it was awesome!
For those who were at the Wellington Armageddon, you might have seen me as fluttershy on Saturday, and River Tam on sunday
there were soo many cool costumes there, and soo much awesome stuff there... i don't think even Dashie's 20% cooler remark will help much here.
I was in a group with two of my friends who dressed up as Rainbow Dash and Derpy for Saturday and Sherlock and Castiel on Sunday.

My Fluttershy wig got a little wonky more than once.

 The highlight of my weekend. That's me and my friends with Julie McNiven, who plays Anna on Supernatural!

Lots of photos were taken... but I only chose a few to go up on this blog
Fluttershy is now officially finished.
River Tam still needs a little work, but it was fine for the day.

Fluttershy Update and Over 2000 veiws

Okay so I caved to the demands of the bronies i talk to on facebook and took a pic to show off everything i have ready for my fluttershy costume.

I still need to do the wings and the ears, but then I'm basically done

And thanks so much everybody and everypony for getting so many views on my blog,
I didn't think it would be this popular!

Kaylee Dress update
I have finally started working on this dress
Though i'm kinda angry at myself for starting it so late, as this project has kinda been in the works for well over a year. But that's getting off topic. ANYWAY

So far I have cut and pinned most of the bodice
Though i can't sew yet as i do not currently have access to a sewing machine.
But i can tell you the front panel was a NIGHTMARE! and not in the pony way...
anyway... photos
Front panel. This will not be cut again until the lace is sewn down.

Back Panel
Side panels, side by side




Anyway.. that's all i have done for now.
Happy Cosplaying,
Leopardmoon.
