I was doing some extensive embroidery on the back of my steampunk vest when I ran out of thread. I bought two spools and I used up BOTH of them! NOOOOOOOO! I was hoping to have the back embroidery finished by today... *weeps*
Steampunk costume is still mostly in pieces, I finished the channel with the boning, I finished the lining, the embroidery needs to be done before I can attach the back to the rest of the vest, I still need to cut out the collar, the hat's still in pieces and I need to cut out the lining... @_@
*has a lot to do*
I also bought polyester resin to try out for some accessories and I bought GOGGLES! I love my GOGGLES, I'm terribly excited, I'm going to be painting them gold and doing THINGS to them! MWA HA HA! I also bought an pilot wings pin from the army surplus store (where I bought my GOGGLES) that I'm going to glue some gears on.
What's worrying me is that I haven't found a pair of pants to wear under the costume. I suck at making pants, even with a pattern, and I didn't think a skinny leg khaki pant would be hard to find. Well... IT IS! >.< Mandy suggested that I wear leggings since the blouse is going to be really long and the bustle might look better with it... but I don't have the kind of body that I'd feel confidant in just leggings. :X What do I do??
