Hand sewing

Right now I have a bunch of little tasks to hand sew on Alice's dress before I can really do much more to it. The lining must be hand sewed onto the dress so there wont be any weird and random lines showing on it. There is a part on the back that must be hand sewn. That shouldn't take me too long. I'm pretty good with hand sewing as it was what I did before I learned how to use the machine. Before I start I've been working on more editing on my novel to catch up on that.


There are so many cons going on this weekend it's crazy. A part of me wishes I had one to go to but I'm glad I don't. With all this work to be done I'd rather sit at home, listening to Marina and the Diamonds and hand sew than romp around at a con that I'm not prepared to go to. Seeing as we only have one costume that is con ready right now.

As soon as I get the last few pieces of Yuuko's outfit and the make-up I'll be doing a make-up test, show you guys the props we're bringing this year, how our xxxHolic costumes will be different from most and what pieces are included in the outfits. I want to try and do this to each cosplay but it depends on when we get them ready. If it's too close to con there is no way I can do it. We'll be getting the rest of stuff for Yuuko soon as well as some of the needed items for Oz and Alice.

I really cannot wait. I'm so excited to be bringing all these new cosplays. And I'm overly excited to be cosplaying Yuuko. I love black hair (I've dyed my hair black once before) and it looks really good with my skin tone. I'll be using make-up to make me slightly more pale which I think will make the wig only look better. I really can't wait to show you guys.

So I better get going as today is flying by already and there is much to be done!
