mercy_angel_09So, the fabric for Athena has been cut out for weeks. Probably closer to a month. ^^;;
I finally started sewing the costume on Wednesday, and the dress is almost done. It's a toga-like dress, which will be dressed up with red fabric that will make a pseudo cape. I tucked the fabric under the chest plate, had a 300 moment ("This...is...ATHENS!!") and then started fully sewing again. X3
I'm almost ready to sew the lining to the dress and then hem it, in which case then I just need to lace the cord and it'll be done. Once Athena is done, then I'm going to start up with my My Little Pony. I finally got the interfacing and the lining, so I'm going to get the jacket cut out and sewn together. And I have to pray that I still fit into my pants and look into buying some underwear that won't show under very tight, white jeans. I have to loose some weight so I can fit in my loli dress and then get some fabric for my apron. I'm thinking white muslin.
On the job front, I still haven't heard anything. My mother is going to give me a hand and ask around her business contacts and see if anyone can use me. There's also a possibility of actually using my degree in the form of the White Bluffs Interpretive Center. Since the White Bluffs National Monument is getting an official interpretive center, I'm thinking that I can actually be of some use there, especially since one of my degree requirements was a History of the Pacific Northwest class, with quite a bit of time talking about White Bluffs and the Hanford Project in general.
Well, back to the sewing. I'm going to try and finish Athena today so I can start the MLP tomorrow.
EDIT - Truly, all hail Athena! :3 She's done.
