Ok so quick run down:
Ogawa Miharu: Skirt is done, except the front pleat doesn't lay flat like I want. I may have to stitch it in place. Jacket is about half done; I have sleeves in but still need to put in one front facing, back facing, trim, buttons and pockets. Plus it's got to be hemmed. The sleeves didn't go in smooth like I wanted because the pattern was a bitch to work with on that, so I made them girly-poofy and decided to call them a "design element". Ha ha. Shirt hasn't been cut out yet but that's what I'm planning to do Tuesday night (hopefully). Blargh cutting.
Kuchiki Rukia: Gi and hakama are here! Also, bokken is spraypainted white, but I need to fix the tsuba. I don't think I can carve out the design on the tsuba- not with the amount of time I have so I will probably paint the "open" parts black. Doesn't mean I won't carve it out someday just not today. Need waraji, which I will probably make in the car as I'll be sitting for 2 hours. Suki's not keen on real waraji, and if it doesn't work I have some lace up mocs I got at Hoggetowne. Still need to add white collar and sleeves, plus white sword belt. This should be fun!
Seras Victoria: Almost done with one patch (4 letters + overstitching to go). I still need the other patch and the armband. I don't have the harkonnen either. I am considering not taking this to the con and maybe going to J-con with this when I have more time to fix it up. Miharu has taken a lot of time plus I've been in the doldrums with school and personal issues. Also, Seras requires more effort on the wig and stuff....more equipment to have to carry. I love my fangs though.
That's the lot. Also I've spent an OBSCENE amount of money on these. I'm going to have to work a lot to get money for con shopping.
In other news, I am now addicted to SkipBeat. This one and Ouran are my current manga obsessions. I think I will start on Rounin Kenshin soon (as in AFTER megacon).
Loves!
