To the fabric store!

Heading out to the big fabric store today in the hopes of finding a medium weight black fabric for Abel's cassock and cape. As well as metallic silver bias tape, which of course is super hard to find even through most store sell gold. Both will be for Abel. Which I do what to start first but since I already have everything laid out for Seth's skirt I'm going to go ahead and make that today.

Our to get list

~Light-Medium weight fabric (Non-see through) 10 1/2 yards
~Metallic bias tape x5 packages
~White tulle 2 yards
~Black thread
~White thread

Of course I'm going to look around to see what fabric they have for Seth and what types of lace they have as I love looking and touching lace. I'm really hoping they have the right fabric for Abel or we may have to order it online which I will be sad about. I like touching the fabric before hand so I know if it has the right "feel" to it. For some reason its hard to find a medium weight black fabric that isn't over 9.99 a yard. As you can see above we need ten yards (For both the cassock and cape) and we don't want to spend a lot on fabric alone as there are still a lot more we have to buy for these cosplays.

So hopefully everything goes alright and we find the items on our list. I'm excited to sew once more as its like an inch. I really want to do my best this time around. If I make a mistake I'm going to re-do it instead of ignoring it.

I'm determined to make these eye catching cosplays. Not only for the contest but to prove to myself I can do better each time I try. Which I personally think is more important than winning an award.
