more progress... (Posted 12th October 2008)

So today i've been fiddling about with the dress because one side of the collar was very much longer than the other and it bugged me..... so that's all fixed.

been compiling a list of things to put into an Expo Emergency Kit:
Needle
Thread
Lighter (to re-melt any hot glue that comes un stuck)
double sided tape (for other things that need sticking, including holding my gloves up)
plasters (for cuts, blisters, burns etc etc)
mini scissors
pen and mini note book

Dress completed! (Posted 11th October 2008)

Hooray! i completed Peach's dress today! the frills on the bottom are slightly too small but they'll have to do. i am NOT unpicking all that stitching! they look ok.
all the seams are pressed and the collar all stitched.... all i need to do now is dye and style the wig when it gets here... ^^ then i'll be all finished!

More progress! (Posted 4th October 2008)

Woot! more progress on my peachy. worked out how to do the backs of the shoes today it was tricky.
i also started cutting out the pattern from the fabric. it's Peptop Bismal pink..... seriously.it's kind of sickening. but hopefully the darker pink and other stuff will balance it out... XD

Finally!! Progress photos! (Posted 3rd October 2008)

We have progress people!
i started my shoes today. i'm chopping up a pair of old crocs to make her shoes.
first is took out my model magic (seriously, if you haven't gotten any yeat get some. it's the best stuff evaarr) and using little balls of it i filled in all the holes. then i hot glue gun'd fabric on the insides to make them stay... then for extra measure i put a coat of PVS glue on the outside. easy. not all i need to do is figure out what to do with the backs of them and they'll be ready to paint! ^^

photos taken with my brand new camera! ^^

All i can say is... (Posted 2nd October 2008)

Panic!!!! (Posted 29th September 2008)

Ok i'm panicking now! i haven't even started on my dress yet! or anything for that matter! i neeeeed to do work out mypattern today. i'm working all week so that's all.
where does one buy a single pink dummy? the only places i know sell them in packs of 2 but i only need one for 2 days and it'll be thrown out....... i might have to resort to buying 2 after all....... i get an hours lunch break tommorrow so i'll look again then.... *sigh* i also need a way of making her crown.... i don't have any gold paint.... more money to spend. i get paid on thursday so i can buy them then. that's what's holding me back right now..... no monies!!!!

Fabric Bought (Posted 8th September 2008)

So the other day i bought all my fabric, including the one for my Grand Ball cosplay. it cost me over £30 for all of it!!! X.x there go last weeks wages. T_T
in any case, tonight i'm going to be starting playing with and adjusting patterns. it's all good.
hope to buy shoes and a pink dummy possibly tommorrow in my lunch break. maybe. i might have to use some red shoes i already have though.... money is tight for cosplays this month, ><
i think i'm goingto have to style my xisting wig that i'll be using for Chii for this as well... it's too long but it'll have to do really.i'm sure i can make it cute. it might add to the whole Chibi feel of Baby Peach anyways...... so that's hair spray added to my list of stuff to buy. ^_^
