I ran into my first snag today with the Steampunk costume. Funds are sort of tight with Christmas just past, saving for Costume Con, and being a full time student without a job. I am sure everyone feels some of the same finacial strains this time of year. I had thought I would have all the required fabric for this project so it would be okay, and for the most part I do. Except for lining for the skirt and the petticoat fabric. I tried searching my stash but I just don't have the 10 yards needed for the lining and petticoat. So after figuring out all the bills for this month, I had an extra $50.00 or so. GREAT! Right? I can so get myself some netting and fabric with that. Fabric is sort of expensive here but I am sure I can find some lining fabric for 3 something a yard. Lee Lee is happy once more and the Steampunk costume is back on track. Hubby and I go out to start our chores and paying of bills. We stop at the shopette for some water. Car doesn't start... Just plain out won't start. Several hours later we find out we need a new battery. So my car has a new battery... but my extra bit of fundage is gone. DANGIT. Hubby told me to wait until bills are paid, we didn't get to them today, and whatever extra Yen I have I can use. So I am hoping our water or gas bill is lower this month so I can sqeak out 10 yards of fabric somehow.
