Weekend Plans?
Oct. 15th, 2008 08:48 pmUgh. I made the little empire-waisted bodice from the doll dress I was crocheting and it doesn’t even come close to closing over the Barbie doll’s bust although I used the sizes of hook and thread specified. It’s like an inch too small. o_O; I went back to check my stitches and it looks like I crochet too tightly, I’ve got one more stitch per inch than the gauge says I should have. But even if that’s the case, it should only be short by about half an inch, which makes me wonder if there’s a problem in the pattern too. :-/ Bah. Maybe, I should just give up for now and start my fairy costume instead. At least I’ve never sewn anything for myself that was so ridiculously small that it wouldn’t close by inches!
Anyone want to do something in the city on Saturday? I’ve been feeling a bit bummed the last several days and it would be nice to see people. I’m free until early evening and haven’t got a specific plan in mind although lunch, checking some Halloween shops, or looking for trims for the fairy costume are possibilities.
Hmm… And with Halloween coming up soon, I should figure out what I’m doing for that. Need to ask my brother if he’s up to doing any photos since I normally like to do that on Halloween and/or the Sunday before when the botanic garden does their Halloween event. Maybe, it would be a good time to finally take better pics of my red Ayame since I still haven’t had a proper photoshoot with that one.
Also kind of wondering if I should attempt to pull together that Nancy Drew costume for Halloween. I could probably buy most of the pieces although getting the same blue for the jacket and pleated skirt might be tricky. Yes, I’m contemplating buying the stuff for it. ^_^;; Although I've loved Nancy Drew since I was in third grade and think it would be fun to dress as her sometime, I don’t really want to make that particular outfit. I only picked it as the one I’d do because her look has changed so much over the years that I think it’s the only outfit that would be remotely recognizable as Nancy. >_>; And even then, I'd probably still need to lug around an old clock for anyone to get it. (I know there are the movie costumes, too, but I don't like any of them that much and I'm not nearly as cute and petite as Emma Watson. ^_^;;)
