May. 10th, 2009 01:40 amI think Schroedy likes this costuming hobby of mine. She is currently sleeping on the fabric. The white fabric, of course, as her fur wouldn't show up NEARLY as well on the blue. I'm pretty sure I don't have to cut anything more from the white though.
This is a Water Pretear costume for Anime North. Which is in two weeks. I started the costume today. Because I am THAT AWESOME. It's going pretty decently though. I have the basic shape of the bodice down. Though I need to figure out how to actually do it up in the back, as the art explanation is "It's all one piece, screw physics". I'm not sure I have enough slack to do velcro, so I may try making it lace up. I also have the underskirt done, it just needs to be hemmed. Though I want to be sure the back is done up properly because I try hemming it, I think.
So that just leaves the detailing and the overskirt. Hemming the overskirt is going to take forever. This may not have been a wise costume considering I hate hemming. Oops.
My laptop keyboard has more or less given out. The letter keys have gotten wonky in addition to the missing Ctrl and F5. So I decided it was time for a USB keyboard. All I could find at Best Buy was a roll up one. I tried it. The keys wobble and it's clearly meant for someone who types more slowly than I do. So I returned that and went to future shop and now have a proper keyboard. The only tricky thing now is positioning it so I can still use the trackpad. :p
