	My first big project for this year is going to be the Vault 101 Jumpsuit from Fallout 3. I'm sure I'll be wearing that to Dragon*con and adding it to my store. I also have a lot of steampunk/neo-victorian costumes that I want to do. -----signature----- The Irongate Gallery Costume Shop http://www.theirongategallery.com/

	I feel so lost in here. In over my head. And rather lacking in skills since I've only had one year of sewing classes. But I have costume projects as well, even if they might not turn out very well, so I guess I'll post them here... 1. Susan Pevensie's Night Raid outfit (Prince Caspian)- I have most of the materials and will be cutting the fabric sometime soon. I still need bits and pieces, like the medallions for the bodice and the leather laces, but it'll be finished by Halloween. 2. Jedi robes - For a friend for Halloween. Not sure what kind of fabric to get, but I'll put these together over the summer. 3. Susan Pevensie's green dress (the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe) - might make two, one for me, one for a friend. I doubt I'll get the green dresses finished this year, because of school and work, but I will be finishing the Night Raid. -Becca. -----signature----- Wraith Lead, NJOFC \| e-sis to CrazyOldHermit Wraith 9, Shadow 6, XWFC \| Twin Suns 6 "Well, I guess that's the first official e-incest around these parts..." -Jello EUClue MURDERER.

	I'm new to costuming and sewing, so I'm going to be making mostly simple stuff. This year, I want to do (in no particular order, except for the first three) 1. The slip/dress/shift Elizabeth Swann Turner is wearing in the "One Day" scene at the end of Pirates of the Caribbean 3. - Have all the materials, and the pattern worked out, just need to start it. 2. A chemise for my sister - Have the pattern, and we're going out to get the materials on Wednesday, but it doesn't need to be done until April. 3. Redo the tabards and obi on my Jedi costume (messed up BIG time with these) 4. Renn Faire costume for myself (chemise, skirt, bodice, and nothing fancy) 4. Snow Bunny Padme 5. ANH Princess Leia, the one she wears most of the movie. 6. Rum Island Elizabeth Swann from Pirates of the Caribbean 1 - have a pattern which is easily modified. 7. Pirate Disguised Elizabeth Swann from Pirates of teh Caribbean 2 - again, have an easily modified pattern- patterns, because the pants are a different pattern from the shirt and vest. -----signature----- If anything can go wrong, it will- Murphy's Law AND MURPHY WAS AN OPTIMIST!!!

	I made all the dresses except the far left. Which I helped pattern I didn't have any of the ladies with me to fit to so there is a bit of resizing to work out. But they all have dresses now so no excuses to not attend any more picnics It was a lovely day by the way. Charming company, lovely scenery. So first project down! Next up a kampfrau and a big mad Spanish frock with a ruff the sizer off a small tray! -----signature----- http://costumes.glittersweet.com/index.htm Truth! Freedom! Justice! Reasonably-Priced Love!

	I got hardly anything done last year, due to circumstances out of my control, so this year I'm hoping to make up for it! I've moved interstate (again) and I'm renting with a fellow costumer, so I'll have my own sewing space, and a housie who understands! Woo! But I'm also starting a course of study this year (in costume of course :P) so we'll see how much time that eats. But I'm very excited about this year, and really pumped to get some stuff done! I had three goals with this years costume list: 1) Make costumes that I have fabric for (since most of the fabric has been in my stash for a couple of years!) 2) Make some super simple costumes so I don't stress so much!(mostly the superhero ones I have listed) 3) Challenge myself with various costumes (ie sewing with vinyl, massive decoration for Giselle) I think my list fits in with these goals pretty well! So my list: Definites - Upgrade Classic Leia (new hair pieces and belt, and white boots) - Finish pink Princess Aurora (It's about 30% or 40% done I'd say) - Princess Leia Ewok Village dress (got all the fabric, will need shoes and wig) - Princess Leia Ceremonial Dress (Have most of the fabric) - Jedi Costume, original design (I have most of the fabric, but I need to confirm the design) - Silk Spectre 1 (movie version) - BloodRayne (either the standard costume or the ballgown, depending on how in shape I can be :P) - Zatanna (my friend gifted me with the jacket, and the rest I can buy or make easily) - Giselle's Wedding Gown (for the Aust. Costumer's Guild ball) - Rita Skeeter (for the premiere of the new movie) - Victorian Early form bustle and bustle dress Possibles - Possibly redo Rose Tyler's 'Idiot's Lantern' outfit (or use the new fabric to make Marilyn's 'Diamonds are a girls best friend' dress :P) - Animated Leia (I have the fabric) - Poison Ivy (Bruce Timm version) - Disney Snow White (mostly based on the DisneyLand one) - Donna Troy (Preferably her WW armour, but also possibly the Red classic outfit or the sparkly Troia outfit) - Black Canary - Snowbunny Padme (I have the fabric) - Agent Diana Prince - Wonder Circe (props if you know where it's from!) - Mrs Lovett White and red Stripe Bustle dress So long as I get all the definites done, I'll be happy. Though I can see a few definites that might possibly not get done (namely Giselle, though I'm happy to have that next year), and I have about 10 other possibles that I haven't listed. I also haven't listed the many 40's and 50's dresses that I plan on making for everyday wear. Should be fun to see what actually gets made! :P -----signature----- Princess, Senator and Jedi Clone Trooper In Training My Costuming Live Journal: http://last-chael.livejournal.com/

No, not ambitious enough yet for a Brotherhood of Steel armor set, but I did just get done with my vault dweller suit. I've got mine ready for some conventions coming up, but I've also put it on my shop.

	I have a question concerning one of my '09 projects,which I am working on as we speak... O.K., I've pieced together the red satin gown for my Willie Scott project, and I'm working on the sequins...the only possible way I have been able to keep yards and yards of single-row sequin trim steady is to first baste it in place with a little liquid-stitch before sewing. What size machine needle would you all suggest? I've already broken 2 needles doing some practice pieces...should I go with a thin needle or a thicker one? (I had originally thought of hand-sewing, but I'd like to finish it this lifetime LOL). We're talking a lot of sewing and a lot of sequins here...although I am making the trim by hand---found some beautiful gold bugle bead trim at M&J that will do nicely. Any tips or advice is appreciated. BTW, Kristin, your black corset gown is gorgeous! Can't wait to see it in person! -----signature----- Creativity is a drug I cannot live without.--Cecil B.

	hey Ashlee! Glad to see you around again I woulld try a thinner needle (maybe an 11?). Bring a snippet of the trim to your store to see if you can test to see it if will go through the hole first I hope you'll be contacting me for that bugle bead trim if you haven't already bought it Thanks It's now on my active costume list since it's actually wearable lol. -----signature----- ObiWill and BenaeQuee Happily Married Geeks since May 28, 2006 - Have you tried Hoop Dancing? www.hoopnotica.com

	Thanks for the info! As for the order, the gold bugle trim is a little pricey, so I only ordered a yard to confirm that it'll work. I just got it...and it's perfect, so I'll be ordering more. The dress is really starting to come together now, which is motivational. The real trick will be trying not to punch too many extra holes in the gold sequins as I sew. -----signature----- Creativity is a drug I cannot live without.--Cecil B.
