Plastic Packages

I am so excited! I was on my way out the door to go to class this evening and I found a package from Japan. It was my vinyl for the body piece that I had bought at Tokyu Hands a few months ago but accidently left in Japan at my friends apartment. He finally got around to sending it to me (ありがとう、アイゔンちゃん!).
I will get started on this right away!

Brilliant Buttons

I feel so accomplished! I had been wondering for a long time what to do about the little round details on the legs, when I came up with my best idea ever. Using covered buttons! And just snapping them right onto the leg rather than sew them on.

I got both the shoes done between last night and this morning and did a test. Always, always trying it on to make sure its working! I also exper

imented a little with using yarn (what I really want is piping or cord) for the yellow lines, but that was a FAIL.

Day Off

Got a surprise in the mail yesterday - my red spandex! Almost a week early. I had a day off of work today, so I took the time to start the Test suit, and go shopping for things to make it with.

This is the bottoms with a regular old orange tanktop that I am using as a stand in untill my friend sends me the vinyl I left in Japan TwT

I also finnished one whole shoe before I went out.

And we're off! I did a test fit to see where all of the problem arieas were because I have forgotten. I'm glad it still fits me so well. The back is too short, it gets really taught and there is no definition at the small of my back, so that must be fixed. Other than that, all is good!

Wet Feet

Went to Dick's Sporting Goods to get the water shoes that I use as a base for the shoes of my plugsuits. I am still waiting for my clear PVC and red spandex to come in the mail, so I am at least going to begin on Mari's shoes, gloves, and backpack. I am also going to start the base for Asuka's pack, which is different from any of the other's.

Spandex order has been placed

TIME TO PICK UP WHERE I LEFT OFF. NO MORE SLACKING!!! Otakon OR BUST!!!
