Christmas Time and Costumes
I think I've finished all my Christmas shopping. Yesterday I discovered a receipt for a present that I bought in August and forgot about. I wonder where it is. I have this vague feeling that I might have sent it for a birthday or something. Curse my lousy memory and cluttered room!
On the up side, I've have been cleaning my house lately. I got most of the weird stuff out of the living/dining room (excluding a pile of fabric) and I'm starting to make a dent on my bedroom. Hopefully I'll have most of it cleaned up before Christmas.
I've also been planning my Intercon G costumes. I still don't know what I'm being cast as in any of my games, but at least I've got a head start on the Regency era gown I'm going to have to make. I probably would have been lazy and used the one I made for the Curse of Whately's Monster, but it doesn't fit me anymore. Bleh. This time around I'm going to make a proper Regency corset (using a pattern from Past Patterns which I may have to size larger) and do the back closure with buttons like I should have the first time. I'm not sure what posessed me to think lacing would be okay.
I still have to finish the bottom of my skirt from the Monte Carlo game before I pack it away. In honor of my character I think I'll add a secret pocket or two to the hem facing.
