38 days left....
I'm so excited! I'm finally getting things done. The coat only needs the be hemmed and have the back of the collar sewn. Pretty easy stuff. Right now I'm working on all four of Abel's armor plates. They are turning out pretty good. I found out that you don't really NEED to use heat. Once the Mod Podge, Impasto and paint is on, the foam is very bendy. If you didn't know acrylic is plastic. So the foam is not only protected but its flexible.
I made a mistake on the two larger ones so I recurled them and am now using the inside for the out. I put a wide bangle around the foam plates overnight and they really helped keep shape. No heat involved. Which is awesome. It just takes a bit for everything to dry.
I did forget something on Abel's coat. POCKET FLAPS! I am so glad I got extra fabric. It'll be easy to quickly make without a pattern. Since I bought trim today (Around 10 yards) I realized we had forgotten the pockets. So tomorrow I'll quickly sew those. Sadly I couldn't find iron on trim! So I have to hand sew the damn trim on. I'm going to see if it'll work with using the machine so I only have to sew the small parts by hand.
I'm excited to start work on Caterina's dress. Especially since we just ordered the wig today! Sadly the online store didn't release the longer version of the wig we got. But it'll work just fine. I also found the perfect ribbon for her hair bows today! So we're one step closer.
All we need to do now is....
~Finish the coat
~Start on the dress
~Buy shoes
~Finish props (Armor plates, rosary)
~Buy gloves (And sew the crosses on them)
~Buy Abel's wig.
~Buy con tickets (Have until March)
And we'll be set to go!
