Druid status

by | 7/Mar, 2013 | Crafting, LIfe in general

Yesterday, after a third layer of paint, I think I’ve pretty much finished the headpiece for the druid costume. Only need to solder and attach the circuitry, which will take only a few minutes. That means all that is left of my costume is shoulderpieces (which...

Threads and laces

by | 11/Feb, 2013 | Crafting, LIfe in general

So this weekend I’ve been a busy bee. I got started on another costume – Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne (details in the Cosplay-section in the menu). I also visited my parents, and my mother had a surprise for me – a company that sewed apparently moved their...

The new family member

by | 4/Feb, 2013 | Crafting, LIfe in general

My old overlocker wasn’t doing so well anymore. Two thick layers of fabric, and suddenly it would go thread-spaghetti on me. Then there was the occasional random tension-changing problem… Well, that machine, I think, is old enough to go on pension now, and...

Pattern madness

by | 21/Jan, 2013 | Crafting

This weekend, the stack of patterns I ordered online finally arrived! I have bought 3 historical style patterns (one arrived seperately, so I have to wait a bit before I can get it), 3 regular dresses for myself and 3 dresses for my sister. Pfew, I will be busy this...

News on medieval family

by | 30/Jul, 2012 | Crafting

So, my original plan was to make 3 outfits for medieval festival in Horsens. Turns out, I was either really quick or they were really easy, because it is now july 30th and I’m done – my deadline was august 24th. I even made a bonus costume for myself (I...

Status update: Medieval Family

by | 2/Jul, 2012 | Crafting

So, about a week and a half ago, I decided to make costumes for my family for Horsens Medieval Festival (in Denmark). After a week I finished my father’s costume. I used the pattern “Bockstensmannens Dräkt” (pardon my Swedish, I think it’s how...

New project: Medieval family!

by | 26/Jun, 2012 | Crafting

So, I didn’t die yet. Still live and kicking (mostly just in my sleep, though). I didn’t finish my druid costume yet – I have been working a little on it – small things here and there that wasn’t worthy of updating my blog with. At the...
