Craftiness!

NY Comic Con plans are coming along. The husband is going in costume as well, so we have both been attempting to make stuff. It's pretty ambitious for two barely crafty folks!

My checklist runs bottom to top:

Shoes are done. Belt is done. Skirt & tank are ready, but may be replaced by a shipment I'm waiting on. Final assessment to come.

The tunic is almost there. I spent most of yesterday sewing the shoulders and collar. I learned that I do not have seamstress inclinations. But it should suffice. Button and closure go on tonight. Then I'm waiting for edging to arrive, to finish the rest.

Hair is all set. That should be interesting, a mixture of food coloring & conditioner.

I'm missing some props, though. A sling/wrap thingie which requires some puzzling out. Holster and toy gun, both of which will need to be heavily altered.

About a month to go. We'll see if this comes together in time!
