Costumes I Want to Remake- Spring 2018
Hi everyone! I’m slowly finishing all the sewing projects I want to write posts about, so as a sewing post filler, I decided to talk about which costumes I made in the past and want to remake in the future. Even though I want to remake every costume on this list, I will not work on them for at least the next two or more months. There is a lot of changes going on in my life right now which makes it harder for me to sew as much as I’d like to. (This is also the reason why I don’t talk about sewing as much as I want to.…

Clara’s Cold War Dress- Second Version Part 1
A few years ago, I made my own version of Clara Oswald’s dress in the Doctor Who episode, Cold War. While I made it, I hated how it was turning out and, after completing it, I hated the way it looked even more. I always wanted to remake it, but it wasn’t until 2016 I was able to do it. Because I made and finished the dress in 2016, I don’t remember a lot about the dress itself or how I constructed it, but I wanted to talk about it before it becomes a costume that gets lost in my closet and is forgotten before I can talk about it…

Elizabethan Whovian- Dress Design and Fabric
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 to wear to it. This year, I’m able to work on a costume, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to go. Still, I’m going to try to make a new costume.

Remaking The Tardis Jumper
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 there) but I’m not big enough for my clothes to fit me well either. So, for the past few months I was trying to decide what I wanted to keep and fix up to fit me, what to get rid of, what I wanted to remake, and what to just keep as a memento of…

Doctor Who Tote Bag
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 I can never finish anything. Earlier this month, I decided to make myself something simple so I can boost my sewing confidence. After some thought, I decided to make a tote bag out of Doctor Who fabric I found on Spoonflower (The design is called The Doctor’s Favorite Things-Brighter by Kdowning) because I needed a…

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 them at once and be done with it. Instead they released them in phases. Since I cannot go to a store as easily as I could last year, it took me a while to buy all the patterns I wanted. Since I’m currently reorganizing my sewing room, I was unable to take photos of all…

Tardis Jumper
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 a Tardis jumper. Earlier this year, I discovered Joann’s sells officially licensed Doctor Who fabric. I fell in love with a Tardis print fabric, but couldn’t think of or find something I would like to use the fabric to make. Last month, McCall’s released a pattern for a 1950’s jumper for women as part of…

Clara Oswald’s Robots of Sherwood Dress- Is it Red or Orange?
Recently I received a question about the color of the Clara Oswald’s Robots of Sherwood dress I made a few months ago. You can read more about the dress I made here. In the post, I referred to the color of the dress as “orange” but in the photos I took, the dress has more of a red color than orange. The difference in color made me wonder, what is a good way of describing the color? Is it really a red or an orange? After looking through the notes I made about the dress, it is not just a red or an orange, but a combination of both.

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) I finished sewing sequins on half the bodice! Yippie! Here’s what the front of the bodice looks like… And this is what the back of the bodice looks like… Since this dress has a different bodice than the other dresses I’ve made for myself, I had to change the way I sewed the sequins onto…

Rose Tyler Pencil Drawing
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 to make the drawing look exactly like Billie Piper, but more of what I hope a cartoon version of Doctor Who would make her look like. I still remember the two animation movies of the 10th Doctor and how the animation… well… left something to be desired. (Ok, I admit it. It was bad.) If…
