Firstly, I got my sewing machine set up! It works like a dream.
So obviously, I went ahead and made this:
The most surprising part, it completely fits perfectly. Like, what were the chances of that happening? I did take down some skinny jeans and use them as a guide, but come on. That's pretty good.
Now I just need to find a way to make sure they stay up during a full day of walking around and sitting and being adored.
Also today! My friend Kate (and her associated blog) is dressing up as Ramona Flowers for D*C. One thing her costume requires...
...her hammer.
SO.
This is where it gets really nuts.
KAPOW:
It is in no way done, and it is slightly pointier than our reference photo, but it's coming along great!
We used a giant dowel, many tiny dowels for the frame that was a nightmare to cut up and piece together, wire mesh, and some paper mache stuff.
We had thought of using styrofoam, which would have been a lot lighter and less sunken looking, but this was so much cheaper.
So that was good.
Good good good.
