Busy, busy.

Haven't written on here for a while. Been super busy with writing and working out that I haven't had much time to blog. Or sew for that matter. Now that I'm feeling good about my writing again I'm going to take a few minutes to do a quick update post. I took the lining out of the Alice's dress as it had made the dress way too tight and made my bust look very strange and squished. So when I tore it out the sides came undone and the dress was a mess. One sleeve fell off too. I fixed both sides and tried the dress on. Everything fits again. It's a bit too roomy! Guess I've been doing good with losing weight so far. It'll take me a while to get to my dream weight but I'm very pleased with how it's going so far.

I'm going to work on Alice's dress tomorrow. Get that sleeve back on, hem the sleeves and start putting elastic in the bodice so it stays up better. After that I just need to hem the bottom and start on the ruffles. Then I'm done! Well, I'll need to make the matching choker....But that'll be easy. We were wanting to start on Oz's outfit (Getting fabric, ect.) this week. So I need to hurry and get Alice done. I've whipped through the dress and petticoat and am quite happy with it so far. Hopefully making another coat won't be too much. I'm pretty excited about making the waistcoat. No sleeves! YAY! I'll also be making a matching top hat for Oz's outfit. I already have the base started. I just need the fabric and roses to finish it. That might be all hand sewn.

We do want to make the Scythe as well. I really want to start on this as it's going to be a blast. I plan on making the scythe about seven or eight feet tall. I want to make it so we can detach it so it will fit into the car without taking up too much space. We may use EVA foam for the top or cardboard. Which ever I feel I can work with easier.

So lots to do and only three months to go. Not bad. I'm VERY excited for Kumori-con. Can't wait!
