It’s that time of the year when the Arizona Renaissance Festival reopens! Although I’m very excited about the fair, I had so much going on in my life these past few years that I was unable to go to the festival more than one day and I was unable to make or finish any costumes […]

I mentioned before that I lost weight this year but what I didn’t mention was that while going through my closet to see what fit me and what didn’t, a majority of my costumes and “geeky” convention-appropriate clothing was too big for me as well. I’m still not at my goal weight (Or anywhere near […]
Sorry about not blogging as often as I normally do. My life became extremely busy these past few months so I do have as much time to sit down and write as I’d like to. *sigh* I felt down these past few months about my sewing because I get pulled away from my work and […]

Favorite Patterns for 2015- Simplicity
Finally, I made the follow up post to my favorite sewing patterns from McCall’s! (Just in time for Halloween too) It took me longer than I wanted to type this post because Simplicity and McCall’s released even more new costume patterns for sale. This was driving me crazy because… well… I thought they would release […]
Wow! It’s almost halfway through September and I still didn’t blog about my most recent sewing projects. Ugh. It’s frustrating because I have things I want to talk about but couldn’t. *sigh* Anyway, this past weekend sat down and tried to finish sewing some of the things on my to-make list, one of them is […]

Rose Tyler Idiot’s Lantern Dress- Sequin Progress Update
I know I said I was going to make more posts about my art, I decided to make another post about making Rose Tyler’s pink dress from the Doctor Who episode The Idiot’s Lantern. A few days ago, I reached a milestone in sewing sequins on the bodice! As of a few days ago (Monday) […]
Like I mentioned in an earlier post, I over stressed my thumb from hand sewing too much. After a week’s rest, my thumb began to feel better and I began to draw and color drawings I never finished. One of the original drawings I did was of Rose Tyler from Doctor Who. I didn’t try […]

Making Myself Rose’s Idiot’s Lantern Dress For the Final Time
At last, I’m making myself Rose Tyler’s pink dress from the Doctor Who episode The Idiot’s Lantern for the last time. Yippie! Right now my thumb has not improved enough to make myself comfortable to hand sew a lot. Because of this I cannot hand sew the sequins onto the bodice yet, but that doesn’t […]

Clara Oswald’s Robots of Sherwood Dress- The Work in Progress Post
As with the past few years, I’ve been working on a complex dress to wear to the 2015 Arizona Renaissance Festival. This year is another Doctor Who dress: Clara Oswald’s Robots of Sherwood dress. Despite making progress on the dress in October, progress was slowed down due to all the hand sewing I needed to […]
