Day 14- Wig killer

I killed a wig. I'm used to styling, trimming longer wigs or just spiking short wigs so when I was trying to style Watanuki's wig it....sort of turned out badly. I cut the bangs too much, trying to thin them out and it just was not working. So we bought a new one. I hate ruining wigs. And it makes me feel so badly about having to get a new one. But the wig did only cost $12 so it wasn't like it was a $40 wig or anything.

We went shopping yesterday got white thread, wide black ribbon and velcro. I threw out the top hat and re-made it. I am so happy with how it has turned out. The other one had lots of flaws now I can proudly say I made that. I really should have gotten a ribbon that had white strips but I didn't even think about it. Since i didn't get fabric paint (1.95 for one little bottle!!!) I am using acrylic to paint on the white strips for Oz's top hat.

We also got these yesterday.

~Caterina's new wig (I freaking love it. It's longer and more full. I just need to spray the hell out of it when it comes. I will not let it frizz this time.)

~Roll on stuff (For the leg brace, the gloves, ect.)
~New Watanuki wig
~White gloves for Oz (Last ones! Oh yeah!)


All we need now (Since I forgot.)

~Shoulder pads for Oz's coat


I also finished the trim yesterday on the coat, as well as put on the buttons on the cuffs. All I need to do on the coat is sew the wait ties (plus trim on those.) and add the chain on the back, sew on the buttons on the collar. Finish the bow with ruffles for the shirt. Sew on the button holes on the waistcoat. Finish top hat. Put scythe together. Make black band for Oz's pants

And that's it.

Not much more to do. As I said before I can most of it done within a few days. There is only 14 days until we leave for day zero. I have lots of time. I am trying to finish the top hat before I start on the hand sewing the button holes. I'm saving those for last so I can put all my energy into that.

1. Sew waist ties (iron on trim)
2. Sew on pockets
3. Finish bow
4. Sew on ruffles on top hat
5. Make black band for Oz's pants
6. Sew button holes.

I also need to fix/touch up Alice's leg accessories but I'm holding those off until later since that can be done at night with hand sewing. I'm so excited!
