Thanks! That's a lot. I'm guessing it's because of the link I posted on DA. I'll update with more pictures on there later. Today I'm taking a bit of a break and am focusing on hemming Alice's dress so I can start on the ruffles. Those are the last two things I need to do to the dress than I can focus on making the matching necklace and I will be done. I will need to get red gloves later and add some ruffles to those but for now the dress is almost done.
I'm still really tired from my late night prop building session. But I got a lot done. This morning I coated the Model Magic clay on the rode in Mod Podge to get it firm. This also helps keep it form being damaged later on. Then I put another coat of it on the scythe top piece. I need to cut out the second piece too today but I'll do that later.
I got my obi today!
Pretty, huh? I'm in love with it. It's nicely made and well taken care of. It was so cute! They gave me a note with my name written in Japanese. I'm so happy with working with the site I'm planning on getting another kimono from them some day. Instead of making another for Yuuko I think I'll just buy from them.

The prices are great and they are super nice people. Products are amazing.
Today I'm trying to focus on writing and sewing but I'm REALLY excited as the store I love and want to work at just opened up some spots and is hiring. I applied and plan on calling them in a few days. Hopefully I get the job! That'd be awesome. I'm also thrilled about the obi. I need to practice tying it with my kimonos on. I can't stop going in my room to look at it. It's so pretty. I love roses and I'm so glad I found an obi with roses on it. Plus it's purple. It's a win-win.
I'm going to try and finish all the hemming today. It's going to be a lot of work but I want it done so I can focus on the ruffles. Mainly so I have a reason to touch the chiffon because it's so silky and smooth. It feels like water against my skin. I'm very fond of it.
The best thing about finishing a costume is seeing the out come. Trying it on for the first time with it being 100% done is amazing. You feel so happy and so proud that you made it by hand that it's crazy. I'm ready for it to be done so I can start planning Oz's coat and waistcoat. We most likely wont be buying the supplies for that for another two weeks.
Anyway. Lots to do today. I'll update later with pictures again.
