I hope people aren't fading back off of LJ! There have not been that many posts in the last 24 hours. Come on, people! I need something to keep me amused at work!
In any case, I did more marabouing last night. I am now into the hood portion, which I think means I'm slightly more than halfway done. With the cape. Because I still have to marabou the muff once I'm done with the cape! It's definitely slow going, though I'm actually enjoying just hand-sewing in front of the TV.
However, I felt like I wasn't being productive enough last night, so at about 9:30, I decided I would cut out the pieces for the mockup of my bf's Flynn doublet. So I did. And I sewed them together. Because productive! It makes me feel like I accomplished something more than just sewing on a few feet of marabou. Which by the way is still disappointingly unfluffy. I guess I'll go with Joanns boas from now on, but it would be a waste to not use this one. I'm actually thinking I might wind up selling this cape. We'll see how I feel by the time it's actually finished. On the plus side, if I need something a little warmer to wear with Rapunzel, this one wouldn't clash horribly with the costume.
Oh yeah, and speaking of Rapunzel, I'm getting really excited about styling her wig. I'm going to go buy several braids on Saturday, and I'm hoping to maybe start it on Sunday. The only part I'm worried about is how to do all the intricate braiding on the sides/back of her head, without completely tangling the whole wig. I wish there were tutorials out there about actually making the two separate pieces like she has in the parks. Because I really don't think this wig is going to be at all light/comfortable enough to wear in Disney World all day. But at least it will get to come out and play at my Halloween party the week before. :)
