Getting ready for PAX

Good morning my Darling Dolls, 

I thought it was about time I started to share some progress shots of what I', up to.  As PAXaus draws closer I feel like I have turned that corner with my Annie cosplay.  Personally I find there is this horrible time when you are working on a costume and try as you might it just doesn't seem to look right, then all of a sudden you look up at your work and BANG its turned the corner and now before your eyes your vision is starting to appear.

  

STAGE 1 - basic structure

And that's exactly what happened this weekend.  I'd been working on the base structure for Annie from League of legends, and yes the base was coming together but it just looked like a purple dress and nothing else.  Even my fellow gamers said "yeah its a good start but it's not Annie".  Then after a lunch break and more sewing they saw the collar and backpack go on, which finally got the response "yep now I see it".  

STAGE 2 - collar and backpack base

Sure I still have heaps of work to go before its ready for PAXaus, but its getting there.....slowly.  Needless to say I still have to add the details to the backpack, the design to the bottom of the skirt, the ears and leg warmers.  However, I am closer to the end than I was last week.  THANKFULLY!!!!

So in those few hours between sleep and work that's what I will be doing this week.  So if you see a zombie wandering round your town muttering "fabric...fabric" *in zombie voice* chances are its me.

Well I'm off to work, see you later my Dolls 

Happy Stitching!
