Fabric in hand for Mrs Miggins

I left work early today so that I could fetch my fabric parcel from the post office. I'm soooooo happy, cos even though it's a smaller scale print it's faaaaabulous for La Miggins.  It's 150cm wide, so I'll have more than enough.



I'm hoping to preshrink fabric for my rump & hip roll - not sure which one I'll want (or both?)   need to find ribbon to trim it next.

Inara costume for 2010 Can't Stop the Serenity charity screening

I have to applaud the organisers of the 2010 Can't Stop The Serenity.  The venue was the right size and it was so much fun to watch Dr Horrible as well as Serenity.  I'm so glad that it was finally a year I could get to it.

Here's Ripley and I ... actually it's the of the best photo I've got of my Inara Serra costume despite wearing it 3 or 4 times before.

Ma Dola, from the movie Laputa

It was great to make a costume from the movie Laputa ... there aren't many characters in anime that are suited to a woman no longer in the bloom of youth. Thankfully I really like Ma Dola - she's cranky, bossy but with a kind heart (at least some of the time). One of the lines that most amuses me in the movie is when her sons wonder if all women grow up to be like their mother. This horrifies them!

Sydney Supanova: FGM goes out again

I decided to re-wear costumes this year as I was sick. So FGM got another outing.

2009 Lolifest, wa-loli

I think it's safe to say I was the brightest lolia there today, and I look perkier than I should seeing as I had to sleep off a migraine that morning.

2008 Sydney Supanova, Vala from Stargate SG1

It's not the greatest work, and nobody ever recognises this as one of Vala's costumes, but hey I had fun.  The guy in the Prior costume won a cosplay prize - Novice I think - totally deserving!
