Retiring for the night
Jul. 6th, 2009 02:08 ambecuase I am tired dangit! I don't care if I got up at 3 in the afternoon.
Didn't get quite as far as I was hoping to on my Comic Con costume this weekend. When I did what was suppose to be a final fitting of the bodice, the back panel decided to throw a curveball. I am always amazed how things do that. They NEVER show all the problems at one time so you can fix them with one go. Nope. One or a few at a time so you end up doing 10 mock ups and still have to alter things after your done.Okay... maybe its just me and my luck.
So I had to rip the back panels off and redo those. I have a tenancy to over sew some things so there was alot of ripping to actualy free the waist tape and panel from the rest of the bodice. Thankfully Avien helped me with ripping them out. She popped in NCIS and away we went. So as of right now I am back to where I was yesterday. A fully boned, with lacing loops back panel. I also cut out the velvet layer and mocked up a sleeve. I think the sleeve is pretty good. There are a few wrinkles when my arm is straight, but they are gone when I do any movement and movement is key. Other then that Avien finished my second petti and it is beautiful! Sparkley yummy goodness. WOOT!
