Sunday, May 18, 2014. I got a question on Tumblr about my Jewel costume; I'm posting the answer here because it's easier for me to format. Without further adieu here's how I made my. Jewel costume AKA the super spandex tube top. 1-2 yds white spandex - enough to wrap around your torso. You may want to source some 'wet look' or metallic spandex - it's more opaque than regular spandex. Try SpandexWorld.com). 1 yd turquoise spandex. A sewing machine with a stretch stitch. Iron and ironing board. With it sti...

craft:g33k: Comic Con 08.... more!
http://craftg33k.blogspot.com/2008/07/comic-con-08-more.html
Wednesday, July 30, 2008. Comic Con 08. more! Pics from me and flickr. Me and Geoff with some random steam punk awesome. This Jayne hat (from Firefly) may have been the most common bit of geek apparel at the con. This one was interesting because it was a knit/crochet hybrid. A much more involved Firefly homage. Kaylee's fancy dress. Baltar with J. Michael Straczynski (creator of B5). Geoff always manages to feel foolish in front of this man. perhaps it is the costumes? Your Six is even better than the ot...

craft:g33k: August 2013
http://craftg33k.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 20, 2013. I haven't posted much in while have I? I've been really busy with home reno since we moved in here last year, but I haven't wanted to take pictures until it's 'done' and there's still so much to do. I think it might never be done. Anyway so I painted this nightstand. When I was looking for ideas I saw this end table project. My inspiration was more white/modern, but I'm not so modern and I didn't really want white. I've been ogling this cool coffee table. I looked through my muc...

craft:g33k: April 2011
http://craftg33k.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 28, 2011. Sorry it's been a while. I know that's something I say fairly often, but still. Sorry. I have a baby who is quite fascinated by the moving shiny needle, and it is rather hard to sew. I'm still working on two costumes this year for Comic Con, though. Here's the beginning of the first one:. I'm going with a Knights of the Old Republic group, where I will be filling in as Mission Vao. If you are familiar with the game, Mission is a Twi'lek.

Saturday, February 18, 2012. Preview for my next costume, Bethany's Circle Robes. From Dragon Age 2. I want to do Dragon Age again, but I don't really want to show my navel anymore. I still have to do some detail, like the buttons and the shoulders and the collar, but it's almost done. I really like the color and the fuzzy sleeves. Tuesday, February 14, 2012. HOWTO: Toddler Totoro Costume. You may recall Charlie was Totoro for Halloween. 15 yards charcoal grey fleece. You could also use blue). Pin and se...

craft:g33k: More Detail Than You Ever Needed
http://craftg33k.blogspot.com/2011/08/more-detail-than-you-ever-needed.html
Monday, August 8, 2011. More Detail Than You Ever Needed. Here are some construction notes on the Anders costume, for anyone who's interested. I think this is the most complicated character I've ever done. Or whatever you want to call this. The bolero? Except I lengthened the collar, shortened the coat, and skipped the lining. I made the piping myself, using some gold lining fabric from my stash, and this piping twine. There might have been an easier way to do this. I think gold fabric paint stencile...

Monday, October 31, 2011. Charlie is Totoro for Halloween. This costume was super easy. like, it took me about three hours, for real. Tutorial coming soon :). Sunday, October 16, 2011. Staff of Newspapers and Duct Tape. I actually have some non-Dragon Age related crafts coming up real soon, I swear. Halloween! Where the author explains in detail how she makes incredible WoW staves. I don't think I'll ever be able to make anything on that level, but I was inspired to make something like this staff. This s...
