Finished Update
---------------------

In the end the costume turned out really well, I didn't think so because you could see some fraying on the collar and other item's, but everyone else loved it ^_^.

The headphones aren't accurate and hurt my ears >_<, my other one's didn't arrive on time for me to edit them * they accutaly arrived on Expo morning * ¬_¬.

Couldn't find any Boots for her, so I went with the Fanart version and found some cute heels, FIRST PAIR OF HEELS! 8D

Overall loved the character and PHIL the Carrot that Josh (flames-of-monki) made for me seeming as we couldn't find a real Carrot with Green on top of it :(
I wish I had made it better but considering it was my first time working with any of these clothes shapes, I think it went well <3.

Journal

Waistcoat (Posted 7th January 2010)

Almost finished the waistcoat, just got to find and add the button in and neaten up some of the outer seams.
The seams on the inside are a mess >_< I had trouble double hemming the straps >_<
. I also didn't leave alot of room for the collar to be turned over, so I've pressed it down and hopefully, with another press before the Expo, it will stay in place.
. The straps seam go along my back rather than fit on my shoulders >_< hopefully the wig can cover it up!
.Got to take in one of the sides, so it fit's me better.
.IT LOOKS A MESS ON THE INSIDE OF IT D;.
.Though for a 2nd self project I think it's going ok.

Gumi #1 (Posted 23rd December 2009)

I've ordered the fabric needed and I just need to buy a new sewing machine after Christmas to do it :). I plan to complete the sewing parts before the start of the new College Term.
Busybusybusy in the Christmas Holidays! owell, so gonna be worth it!
Will also be ordering my wig in early Januray :D.
