Costume Con Part 1.
Apr. 30th, 2011 03:17 pmSo I made it to Costume Con on Friday in time to meet up with Bob, set up the shop and open for friday selling. Friday was slow, not a ton of people here yet, rather quiet.
Saturday dawned bright and early with Bob waking up to go to the bathroom at 6:15. I woke up to Crap what time IS it. At which point Bob promptly went back to sleep and I laid there WIDE awake. So 45min later I got up and went to the car to get my gym back, did an hour workout, came back, took a shower and Bob still slept....So I did the only respectable thing...Took a running LEAP onto his BED . *evil Grin*
So I'm wearing my new Jacobean Jacket. All things considered it turned out half decently. Next time I wear this I'm adding MORE spangles and hooks and eyes. It's just impossible to tie it that closely closed.

It's an RH201 because A) I made it in like two days and starting with a pattern is MUCH easier B) I'm encouraged to try out patterns so I can say I've used them and C) It was VERY easy.
I put hours into carefully pattern matching and in the end you can't even tell *facepalm*
