With only 19 days until the con I have to say I'm nervous. The dress is almost finished! The other day I realized the skirt of the dress did not fit over the hoop skirt and petticoat so I had to take out the seams and add two more panels and it worked! The skirt is full and big enough to fit over the hoop skirt perfectly. It took a lot of work but I'm glad with the outcome. Today I have to put in the bottom drawstring, start work on trim and work on the red cross appliques. For Abel's coat I still need to sew the back of the collar and sew on the armor plates. Not much to do. I've leaned a lot and am getting pretty comfortable with sewing. The best thing is how much I'm enjoying it.
The other day I was called in for a job interview! Not a seasonal job this time either. The last few days have been going great and I can only hope the rest of the month goes just as smoothly. I'm very pleased with how these costumes are going along so far. I just need to work harder on the props after they are finished. Abel's rosary needs some major work if I want it done by the set date. We do still have a few things to buy but we'll just be paying for express shipping so we aren't too worried. Of course that worry is there, its just buried by pure happiness at the moment.
There isn't much left to do before I'm finished and I'm very happy. I just learned that COSPLAY IN AMERICA is returning to Sakura-con this year! And he's taking pictures for his new book. I'm hoping we'll be able to find him so he can take a picture of our new costumes and so I can finally meet him. He seems like a pretty cool dude.
I better go now. Lots of work to do!
