I hate being sick

I hate having a cold. Last few days I've had  a stuffy nose, bad coughing, and a ton of mucus. Which is no fun at all. And is causing me to have no time to sew. Which sucks. I do have the train drafted for Seth's skirt. I just need to cut out the pattern in the satin fabric I'll be using for it. The skirt needs to have the waist band re-sewn on, the first attempt I messed up and I plan on re-doing it so it looks cleaner. I think its important for me to try my hardest and make the pieces look clean. Even if the piece isn't going to be seen. Such as the top of the underskirt. It won't be seen but I want it to still look good. I'm hoping by re-doing things will help me stop being so lazy about pieces that won't be seen.

This is how the skirt will look with the waistband and the bottom sewn upwards. I still need to sew on the waistband and sew the bottom.

I did try it on for the first time and it fits very nicely. The skirt stops a few inches above my knees. Just as it should. I guess its good I'm so short.

Don't know if I posted this or not but oh well. This is the train for the skirt. It's shown folded in half. The bottom is rounded and it is short enough to where it will not drag on the ground. I may trim the sides a bit as there will be lace trim around the edges.

This inner train will be pretty simple, but I think I may add my own little touch and add beads to the lace just so it shines a bit when on stage.

Plus I LOVE beading.

The waist band after I tore it out. I created this on my own without using a pattern. Luckily waistbands are pretty simple. Now I just need to figure out how to sew it on without it messing up the top of the skirt.

This is the lace I'm thinking about using for the inner train and sleeves. They do have a wider, longer version of this lace which I may use for the train. I'm liking how soft and girly it is. Plus its not rough chemical lace which I feel can make a costume look....well too costume-y.








After I finish with the skirt and train I'll be starting on Abel's cape and Cassock which I am very excited to do. We will be getting Wonderflex within the next few weeks. I'm so excited to start working with it. We decided to go ahead and start early with the armor in case we need extra time to make them or re-make them in case we mess up. Most of the armor pieces and details will be made out of Wonderflex and Model Magic, craft foam. I'm pretty excited. I hope everything is done on time. There is still about six full months (not counting this month) to get everything done.
