I've been quiet. I wish I could say its becuase I have been crazy busy with CoCo sewing. But not so much. I have had a bad case of the Blahs since Comic Con. I thought it was just because Comic Con had drained me and I needed a recharge. Figured it was a bit more than need of a recharge when I wasn't getting paniced with my lack of a Gala gown. Just a consistant blah. I forced myself to work on a Muff. Its part of one of the costumes I plan on wearing at coco if it gets finished but it also needed to get done to be an example of the flower smocking class I am teaching. It gave me a little bit of motivation and desire to work on pretty things. Where I was 100% blah before I am now 30-40% excited and the rest blah.
So a request. As you guys are working away, can you post progress pics? For me, seeing the eye candy is motivating. Yep, I am being selfish. But maybe I'm not alone and it will help others be motivated. I know alot on my friends list seem to have hit CoCo panic mode. Maybe this will help.
And I will start things, the pretties that have helped me.

Quick photo before bed. The hood is finished! 9 yards of ribbon pleated around the edges. Tomorrow I start The Petticoat of Doom!!!! #cosplay #costume #Littleredridinghood

Taking longer than I predicted but I think the extra work will be worth it. #costume #cosplay #smocking #Littleredridinghood #sewcoco #CoCo2015 #costumecollege2015

That muff is stunning! What day are you wearing Little Red? I can't wait to see it!

And I'll try to do better about posting pics. I've been horrible about that lately!

Thanks. It was definitely one of those. This is an insane idea, but I don't care I'm doing it anyway.
I was trying to coordinate it with your wearing of the wolf, but it looks like Friday is going to work better for me. Can I be a pest and request a couple pics with you and your mask just the same? They can be silly selfies in whatever costume you are wearing.

Wow, that's beautiful!

Thanks.

My two gala gowns are practically done. Pictures coming very very soon!

The one you just posted is STUNNING!!!

Thank you!!

Oh yeah, GORGEOUS!!! The muff is pretty, too.

THanks. :)

See my LJ!

And yay! Hood! Muff!

Omg - cutest little red ever!! I don't have pics to post cuz I'm on the road!

Thanks. My goal is a older, darker version. Ultimate goal is learning special effects enough to make scratches across my face, carry a 'bloody' knife and a tail or something...

The textures with the smocking are so scrumptious! You look gorgeous!

thanks

HOW BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

Thanks for helping in finding the fabric and trim. It wouldn't be happening without your help!

You look so fabulous!! That red really is a stunning color on you.

Thanks. :)
