The cape

It is super chilly here. It has been for the last few days. I guess it's a record low for this time in the season for this area. It isn't snowing or anything. Just VERY windy. Today I've been fixing issues with the cape and sewed the pieces together. I am horrible with cutting out fabric. I'm not if its because my eyesight is bad and I have issues focusing them or because I was just too tired while doing it and didn't think before rushing to cut the fabric. But, lesson learned. Next time I will make sure I do it right and have a second pair of eyes to look over the pattern before I cut the fabric. 

Another issue with fabric is finding green fabric for Seth. I have looked high and low. From Joann's to Fabric.com. There is lime green, light green that almost looks white, dark green and brown-green fabric. But not anything in between light green and grass green. It's so annoying. It's the holiday season. What two colors are most known for this time of year? GREEN AND RED. So why is green fabric so hard to find? Why is it all dark green or lime green? 

I really don't want it to be dark green nor lime green. It can't be shiny. So that crosses off satin. I'm hoping to find a taffeta but I think I may just go ahead and get broadcloth if I can find the right shade of green. It won't be what I had pictured in my head but it's better than getting a cheap costume satin. Or lime fabric. Yuck. I can't stand lime. It looks so off for Seth. But I guess there isn't a high demand of a fabric that is more sage colored. 

There is a lot to do. But we do have a few months to try and get it all done on time. Or ahead of time which would be amazing. I feel so bad when I stop sewing to go write. But right now I'm more likely to make money by writing then sewing. I just cannot help but to feel bad. Sakura-con is this spring. I really want to wear these amazing cosplays. I'll have to start waking up earlier to work harder on finishing these outfits. 

It's a lot of work and lots of planning but I know if I am focused I can do it. My batteries are dead right now but I will upload a bunch of pictures once I have new batteries. So thank you for reading. Sorry for the rushed post.
