RB's motivation: Notepad dress yourself!

So I think everything from the neck down for Notepad might be done. I'm almost jittery thinking about it like, really? Are you sure? Almost can't tell, just so used to never getting anywhere really close

So i'll take you down my journey of just this dress. Here is the dress, and because I ran out of all my fabric that the cosplay fox gave me, I started using curtain fabric. The hem is perfect for making the veil too. But see the slight clash in shades of white, one is cream, the other stark white

Also all the damn fabric the curtains gave me. Like I seriously cut them in half, one for the veil and the other is just for cutting up for the dress. AND I STILL HAVE FABRIC LEFT OVER.

Also neck piece entirely finished, even with the pearls attached the right way, plus with help from Diva as the only other person who has seen me wear a test run in real time.

Giant test run of the dress pretty much finished. This is with the petticoat. I'm concerned it's still not big and poofy enough. But it is pretty heavy so far. And if someone touches my butt I can't feel it. I also almost tripped, so a little worried even if I was willing to add more fabric, when is too much?

But besides worrying, here is the start of the headdress. Yes this is a paper plate cut down and spray painted. We all have humble beginnings. Getting prepared to cover the rest in gold sculpy as well as attach the pencils later on. The hole in the middle is for the clip that will attach to the wig eventually. Don't worry I have a plan, I'm sure of it 

Here is the dress in two damn petticoats. I felt a huge difference, but my standards will forever be, not enough poof. But I couldn't see my feet when I looked down either, so good enough, we'll stick with two petticoats and call the operation done for now

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! -fatigue-

All that's left is how to dye all that damn veil fabric black, an easy way that is......sharpies won't work this time.

RB's motivation: Technicalities GTFO!!

Alright so another insomnia night coming off this! Had to just figure out a bunch of things that needed to be sewn in that night, now granted there's always more but it was nice to take some of the small stuff off the list. Cause most of it was just EATING AT ME. And another reason why I need my own machine, so no binge parties. 

Here is a Twilight jacket/cardigan Tricia gave me that I just wanted to tweak. The lower right is the real color of the jacket, very fuzzy wool. Mainly turned a turtle neck into a useless hoodie. And cut it down the middle. Was going to add buttons but it's pretty small and I kind of am okay without buttons right now

Here's the hood sort of, can't really figure it out in the picture. And here's the amazing pink stitching b/c I FUCKING HATE CHANGING BOBBINS.

Next on ponies I tackled the fluttershy sweater. The knit material was actually two thick to sew so i just did it by hand really cept for hemming.

I love the sleeves, but not digging the extra collar, real scratchy.

This was a really anal thing for me. Just buttons, then the button holes to sew. But it's finally done, and from now on only 3 buttons. Unless I fix the last buttonhole I'm only gonna be goin for 3/4



Now this took fucking forever. I didn't think it would but the fabric was too thick for the machine really, berets are difficult, closed garmet, and the thread kept piling up and jamming the machine. Bad things.....


It doesn't cling to my head like I wanted but it does sit intact which is fine for now. Also I get a pocket!


And honestly that is the most artist thing you could do it put a pocket in your beret for storage....I don't have a pic right now but I did just add the medallions to the hat and it looks very complete now. So Kugel Mugel is FOREVER DONE

Yeah not really high enough expectations!
