Should arrive by 11/18 but is delayed until 11/18

Makes a lot of sense right? Well, that's what Walmart told us about our bias tape maker. It was due to arrive today (it did.) but was delayed until today. My fiance and I had a good laugh about it. But it did arrive all safe and sound. I didn't have time tonight to set it up and start making silver bias tape so tomorrow I will start making the bias tape. Tonight I'm going to do some research on sewing bias tape on neatly. I've never worked with bias tape so I'm pretty excited to work with it. I will also be starting on Abel's cape tomorrow. I cannot start on making the collar pattern until I have the cape made so I can measure how wide I need to make the collar.

                                                      His collar is ridiculously high.

Thank the cosplay gods for firm interfacing. I have a ton of it so I'm more than ready to create the collar and cape. It won't take me long. The cape is a very simple pattern. Now that I have the bias tape maker nothing really stands in my way. I can finally start sewing once more!

This is the silver fabric we got for the bias tape. Since they do not sell silver bias tape in stores (yet they sell gold.) we decided to make our own.

I forgot if this fabric is stain or taffeta. It's very soft and metallic. It's not too shiny like cheap satin. I love the color. It's much prettier in person. It also looks great against black which it will be sewn onto.

After getting this fabric I sort of want to make a silver dress. It's so pretty.

 Nicolas working on his armor. The two pieces that are covered in Wonderflex are shown. Both will be going on his chest/collar. The pink pieces will be glued together and covered with Wonderflex to make the armor plates for Abel's cuffs. We're getting the easy pieces out of the way before we start on the large shoulder piece.

He's making a mess in my sewing room. >:c

I have been wanting one of these for the longest time. No idea way. As you can see (Two aren't on the racks.) I don't even have enough thread yet. But I love having somewhere safe to put them. I used to hide them in my desk so my cats can't find them.

It just makes the room look like a sewing room I guess. I don't know. I just love it. It's very handy. We just bought the black, silver, white and the invisible thread.

Invisible thread is seriously the coolest thing ever. It's sort of like fishing line but thin and more flexible than it. I will be using it for the holes on the back of Seth's dress that the wings will come out of. If I have time to make the wings.
