I leave for Costume Con 32 TOMORROW.

SHIT.

Weiss 

95% Complete 

Organized as shit.

So I make mini project plans for each cosplay. While some people don’t need them, I find having the steps broken down and laid out like this really helps keep me motivated through the tedious stuff, like fitting. Especially when there’s not a lot of visual progress.

Plus, it helps keep me on schedule.

I ran out of hot glue last night at the most inopportune time, Crapsnacks. Guess who’ll be crafting on the car-ride down? THIS CHICK.

Guess who else forgot to bring her beading to work on at lunch? STILL ME.

At least I made progress on this one! Skirt: DONE. Top: in progress. I’ve done everything I need to while at home, and the rest can be done in the sewing lab at con.

Also, this costume doesn’t have a project plan because it’s dirty and poorly made and exciting like that.

It will also likely be held together with safety pins. Sexy, dirty, exciting, safety pins.

What’s left:

Trace pattern Muslin, fit pattern and alterations Fabric prepped cut, sew serge Make a top – In Progress Mask Finishing Details

I still have to pack too… shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

Yes, I have a list for this too. I’ve forgotten too many things in my years not to.
