Clara Oswald’s Cold War Dress
In continuation of my previous post about the costumes I planned on wearing to the 2014 Phoenix Comicon, here’s one I was planning on wearing on Friday night of the convention! I was planning on going to the Party Like a Time Lord dance but I ended up skipping the dance to get a photo with John Barrowman. (Not a bad trade if you ask me!) If I had gone, and wore a costume, I was going to be Clara Oswald from Cold War. In the episode she wore a light blue party dress with silver sparkle heels, perfect for a dance at a convention! Or a dance period. So,…

Elizabeth i Day of the Doctor Dress- Completed
Wow. I just realized how behind I am in updating everyone on new and finished sewing and art projects. It’s kind of sad really and I want to fix it. Still, life stuff gets in my way more times than not. Ugh. Anyway, I mentioned a while ago I was making Elizabeth i’s dress from the Doctor Who 50th anniversary episode Day of the Doctor. Well, it’s done! Actually, its been done for over a month. Almost two. Anyway, the plan was to make the dress and wear it to the 2014 Arizona Renaissance Festival. I did finish it in time, but I got sick the weekend I wanted to…

Idiot’s Lantern Dress Update Prt. 1
It’s been a while since I updated everyone on how version 3 of my Rose Tyler Idiot’s Lantern dress is going. I had some time today to take photos and make a post so… here we go! The sequin sewing progress has been slow. Very slow. Not because I gave up working on it, but because so many things happened the past few months I forgot I was making the dress. It wasn’t until I almost knocked over my container of sequins that I remembered I was working on the dress. So, it’s back on my list of to-finish sewing projects. Since I forgot about this dress, sequin sewing progress…

River Song Day of the Moon Dress- The Good Enough Version
A while ago, 2013 to be exact, I wanted to make River Song’s Day of the Moon dress for the Phoenix Comicon. I found a tutorial on how to make a dress from scratch here at the RPF forum and after studying it, I realized it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to finish it or make it for the convention, but I still worked on it and finished it last year. At that time I had a sewing machine wasn’t working well. Although I was able to finish this dress in-spite of the sewing machine, the dress wasn’t made well. The seams…

Making Rose Tyler’s Stolen Earth Jacket- Figuring out the Patterns
It’s been many months since I mentioned that I was working on a scratch-built Rose Tyler’s Stolen Earth jacket. For the most part I’ve been too busy and frustrated to work on the jacket, but this past week I decided it was time to sit down and work on the patterns, cut out the fabric, and possibly finish a majority of the jacket. So far I’ve worked on the patterns, cut out the fabric, and pined the pieces together. XD Originally I planned on drafting the patterns for the jacket from scratch, but I abandoned that idea for a variety of reasons, mostly to save myself from going crazy with…

Elizabeth I from Day of the Doctor- The Skirts
I announced this on Tumblr, but I was lazy about making a post about my 2014 Renaissance Festival costume here. I try to make a new one each year, but I usually don’t wear them because I’m scared I’ll get it dirty, I wanted to wear comfy clothes instead of an elaborate dress, and/or I didn’t finish them in time. (Remember the Thor-inspired Valkyrie? That didn’t get finished in time. And I’m still working on it, but that’s another story.) This year, I decided to make Elizabeth I from Day of the Doctor…. I always wanted a yellow-colored dress but I could have one because my skin clashes with yellow…

K-9 Cosplays the 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 11th Doctor
Well, today is the last day to finish the rest of the K-9 Cosplays paintings and I’m three paintings behind. Originally I was going to finish/post the last painting on December 25th, but the past three days made me realize that might not be possible due to busy, non-holiday related things. So, I decided to post the rest of the paintings at once on the 24th so I can call it done and not be so stressed out about it. Since I’m posting the finished, un-posted paintings on the same day, I decided to make one mass post about all the paintings instead of individual posts about each painting. The…

K-9 Cosplays the Warrior Doctor
Sorry this post is late. I’ve been busy suddenly and… I wasn’t expecting to get busy at all. Ugh. Anyway, this painting was not originally on my list for the K-9 cosplays paint series, not because I don’t think the Warrior Doctor is considered a “Doctor”, but because I didn’t know how to make K-9 look like he is dressed up as the Warrior Doctor. Although it was hard a hard painting, I didn’t want to give up on the idea because I liked the Warrior Doctor too much. It took a while to figure out, but I think I finally did it…. Clicking on the painting will take you…

K-9 Cosplays the 6th Doctor
Today’s painting in the K-9 cosplays series… the 6th Doctor! Clicking on the picture will take you to the devaintART page of the painting. I was a little nervous about painting this painting because I wanted to include the 6th Doctor’s wild coat. The coat is probably the most recognizable part of 6’s attire so I couldn’t see any other part of his clothing be part of the painting. Still, it’s a wild looking coat with plaid stripes of fabric, wild colors, and more. (I used to call it the “clown coat” when I was a kid) I figured it would be a headache to color, so I delayed coloring…

K-9 Cosplays the 10th Doctor
Today’s painting in the K-9 Cosplays series is the 10th Doctor!!! Clicking on the painting will take you to the deviantART page of this painting. (In case you’re wondering… yes I am getting a little tired of thinking up new “attention grabbing” first sentences for the K-9 Cosplays series blog posts. :P) Unlike some of the other Doctors, I already knew what pieces of clothing I wanted K-9 to “wear”, but I had trouble with painting K-9 “wearing” them. My original idea was to make K-9 wear 10’s glasses, tie, coat and paint K-9 facing directly forward (Like I did for the 4th Doctor painting), but after painting and repainting…
