ad_exiaSo, uh. I bring more pictures? Mostly just because I slaved away on this for most of the evening (from 7:30 until about now) so I figure at least I have something to show for it?
So I went to lay out the fabric to work on it... and Sashi decided to "help":
XD What is it about pieces of fabric on the floor that attracts cats with more consistency than catnip?
Anyway, here's what I have done so far! There are no sleeves yet, and I still have to do the tie on the front and take an iron to the seams, but it's mostly done! Which is good, since the worst part of HP cloaks is that they're lined, so you have to make two for every one you actually end up with. ._.;
I tried lining it differently than I've done previous cloaks... I think it actually turned out really well! Basically I made two complete cloaks and connected them everywhere but the armholes. So the only inside seams at all will be where the sleeves attach, which no one will see. I'm rather proud of how well my ad hoc method turned out, if I do say so myself. XD; Even if I had to turn it inside out and take it in a couple of times. Gah, I just did not need that much fabric flapping around my robes!
I think I am definitely going to put my name on the back. (Or, well, Mallory, anyway. XD;) I'm not sure about the stripes or stars on the sleeves... they look hella cool, but I don't know if I want them, and I might not have time anyway. Well, I guess I can always put them on later? Now the question is, what kind of design for the name on the back! I've seen so many different ways to do it...
AND NOW I AM TIRED. =_= I'm tempted to take tomorrow off from sewing, it would be kind of nice... And maybe I'll go to JoAnns and/or Michael's instead, to get Pippi supplies? Gah, I have to get the other two wigs I need, I'll do that tomorrow too. And I think I'm just going to wear my brown work boots for Pippi, which is totally wrong but I have no clue where I'm going to find her shoes. :x It'll be okay, I think~
So Leah moved out of the back of the office yesterday, finally clearing it out for the postdocs who are supposed to set up camp there. The first one arrived today; I totally forget his name (I am awful with names ;_;) but he seemed pretty cool. He's Australian. And he was amused by the action figures. :D; Always good!
Okay. Now I am going to go watch the rest of Return to Neverland, which I tried to do while eating dinner but then the power went out so I had to read and eat instead. And then maybe I'll work on my PJO story some more... or just get lazy and read or something. XD; I am beat!
