The inner train

First off...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

I had a blast today.  It was so much fun. And gave me an excuse to wear full lolita. Any time I have an excuse to wear my rocking horse shoes I am happy. We carved pumpkins, roasted pumpkin seeds and got all dressed up to hand candy out to kids. It was great.

We also got more lace for the train so I can finish it tomorrow! I'm thrilled. The train is the first piece I have made a pattern by myself for. I'm really loving how it has turned out. I plan to finish it tomorrow, sew the lace on and sew on the pearls. I can't wait. I love beading. Once the train is sewn onto the skirt it will be finished. Then I can move onto Abel's cassock.

The reason I won't be making Seth's dress or hat is because I had planned on making Abel's outfit first but we round up finding satin on sale for the skirt so we went ahead and bought it. So once I finish Abel's cassock and cape I will start on Seth's dress and hat. I'm hoping to keep going at the speed I am so I can finish a few months before con to work on our Don't Starve outfits and props. Of course after the outfits I do have two sets of wings to make as well. So that won't happen in less everything needed for our Trinity Blood cosplays is done. As they are first priority. And I would love to have them both 100% finished by Sakura-con in April.

I've also noticed that my skill has improved a lot. I'm really proud of myself. I'm sticking to my goals and am not taking any short cuts. And I'm noticing a difference. I really hope I can keep up and do as great as I have so far with the skirt.

We do have to order our Bias tape maker and some Wonderflex in the next few weeks so we can start making armor as well.
