But I did make more progress today.
I BOUGHT the tights for both cosplays but I got to figure out some stuff for Vanellope since she has two different types of tights.
Claires no matter how girly it is for tween girls I say it's good because these both used to be 10 dollars each. Went down today to 1 dollar each because of some weird special sail. And they are rather NICE.
Party City, I have doubts......over priced and cheap tacky quality with rather limited variety.
As you can tell i had to buy two of each. Because details matter. Party city sucks for costumes off halloween season. They just got to much inventory to be able to have out. For some reason it was more expensive to buy solid colored FOOTLESS tights (leggings) than striped tights (covers feet). What? So that's why I decided to buy a different style. Again since Kugel mugel is artistic I feel he could be mix some patterns in. I tried it with the full outift (sans purple shorts not yet made. that is a puple T-shirt for palette) and I'm liking the result
I'll have to see on the day of the con.
Now the Vanellope Tights. I thinking of a few options
1. Use mint green ones and add the stripes by this tutorial http://anyapanda.deviantart.com/art/Vanellope-von-Schweetz-Striped-Tights-Tutorial-373286004 Which involves making more like bands that can be taken off
2. Sew both together and either make the bands or sew the bands on the non striped leg which might be a cool effect since Vanellope is supposed to be very thrown together
3. Be lazy, take the non matching striped ones and add the black stripe with sharpie on one leg.
So far option number two sounds the most fun and would get the most use out of it
I also made some more badges for Kugel Mugel. He needs three; one for his beret, one on his ribbon tie (Got it) and one on his vest.
These I think will be for the beret rather than originally the vest since they are so small. But I was rather limited on funds today and having not enough change for tax is beyond embarrassing bro. These were a thankful clearance of only 1.99 from 4.99 at Michaels (realizing it is rather overpriced at times). There is a cool Dragon one two that I think I'll save for later.
But what was really cool about these is they're like fake francs which is the currency of many european countries, sadly not Kugel Mugel the micronation but of german speaking countries like Switzerland and Luxembourg. Which is still uber kool. These are obviously fake franc designs but still I think nice effect
Made using just found pendants, chicken wire (missing loops had to make my own), and bar pins
I also had this fall into my bag. Idk what it is or how to incorporate it but it's cool. They would make some cool earrings probably for someone (No piercings for me, can't maintain)
I wanted to start working on both the vanellope skirt and the shorts today but I couldn't get to Hancock fabrics at all because of difficulties. So I'm going to try and do so VERY EARLY tomorrow. As SRP has a construction meeting for a music video anyway so i'll be around friends with sewing prowess and machines
Amongst weirder things, almost every single person I spoke to today seemed very tense and irritated today. I guess for every hump day there's someone raped on a Wednesday.
BUT PROGRESS WILL CONTINUE NO MATTER WHAT.
End of day 3
