I didn't get called in to teach today and I wasn't scheduled to work so I hit the Goodwill and Wal-mart and found jeans and shoes for the costume. Tonight I managed to finish hand sewing all of the corduroy onto the collar of the jacket . It looks great! It adds such a nice richness to the jacket and makes it look a bit less cheep. If I have time tomorrow I'll start on the elbow and shoulder pads, but I now have all of the base pieces needed for the costume. YAY !
I won't be finished with the sleeves for the sweeter in time for time gate, not even close, but that's ok it'll be done buy Dragon*con.
