Progress!

Finally getting somewhere with the Pandora Hearts cosplays. Today I got the sleeves on and in the right spots so I can wear them and still move my arms comfortably. Which is important since I will have a huge scythe to carry around.  I did take some pictures of what I did today with my 3DS but I guess you can't upload the pictures with the cord or email them so I can't post them. My computer does not have a SD card input so I'll have to wait until tomorrow and will just upload them later on.


So anyway. Today I fixed the sleeves like I mentioned as well as put elastic into the bodice top so it wont fall down. Which is important obvious. Lol. Really all I need to do now is hem. The sleeves need hemming as well as the bottom of the skirt which I will need my mom's help since there is so much. It'll be pretty tricky. But I can do it. It might take two or more days but it will get done. I'm not looking forward to it because of my hatred of hemming. Not sure if the way my mom taught me is a hard way than most people use but it's rather challenging. I might cheat a bit and only fold the fabric once instead of twice like my mom taught me. It will go a lot faster.

Tomorrow we are going shopping for the supplies for Oz's coat and waistcoat. I'm super excited to make these pieces and see how my fiance looks in them. For fabric I'm hoping to find something light weight so he wont get overheated. I'm using this pattern. The coat I'll be using is B. This coat is short in the front, rounding  upwards at the bottom just like Oz's. I was so happy when I found one that was spot on. I wont have to do any big modifications to it. I will have to make it longer but the pattern luckily has seam and hem allowances so it should be pretty easy to add on length.

I'll be making:

~Coat
~Waistcoat
~Jabot
~Mini top hat


Of course I have to add on fabric for the length, as well as the top hat and get black fabric for the cuffs and front collar. Right now my list is at...


I still have to measure my fiance so I can't list how much of each fabric I'm getting yet.

• Red fabric for coat/waistcoat/top hat
• Black fabric for cuffs,collar,belt (Waist ties)
• Gold trim
• Gold buttons x7
• White fabric for jabot/ruffles/bow
• Red ribbon (An arse load of it) for Oz and Alice (may wait on this.)
• Black see through fabric (Alice. May wait on this too.)
• White ribbon- very little needed.

So that's my big list for Oz (And some for Alice.) that we'll be shopping for tomorrow. Oz, it turns out needs more than Alice did. Silly Oz, such a drama queen. I'm super excited about going for it. We most likely are going to the larger fabric store. since the store near me doesn't sell good plain colored fabric (It's mostly  costume-y stuff that feels and looks horrible.) 

So I'll do a little post with pictures tomorrow.

See you then!
