LFCC 2013

Hello again!
I told you I had a few posts lined up ;) It has been another year where I haven't made to to San Diego ComicCon... I dont know even know how to get tickets and I've heard they sell out super fast so not sure I even want to try! But as I didn't make it to San Diego, I went to the London Film and Comic Con (LFCC). It has been many years since I had been and it was great fun! It was super warm but there was so much to see and do, I just had to share:
My attendance was rather spontaneous so I didn't have tickets. After 20 mins in the queue I had finally reached the entrance (though 20 mins was much less than expected so I was very happy anyway)

Some people came in costume despite the warm weather, this guy even turned up as a Borg, in full leather!

One of my friends as Kaylee from Firefly, she looked amazing!

Not a costume but a statue of the frozen T1000, later to be signed by the T2 stuntman.

Who could pass up the opportunity to be in the picture with the Ghostbusters car?!

Or Iron Man?

TWICE even! Especially funny considering the tshirt I was wearing :)

This was from Halo4 (I think) but too funny not to photograph!

 There were a few stationary objects you could have your picture taken with for a fiver, one of them was the Game of Thrones throne but I don't look really great in that (how do you pose on a throne without looking completely pompous in normal clothing??) but this one with Kit I just had to share. I wasn't allowed to sit in it unfortunately, but it was cool to see anyway.

I normally don't buy photographs with movie stars or anything, but when I saw that Jean Marsh would be there, I couldn't resist. For those of you who don't know, she is MOMBI! Oh how I regretted not wearing my Mombi dress when I found out... But I have my picture taken and I am absolutely chuffed to bits! Mombi in the flesh *squeel*

As it was only around the corner, we also had a short stop at the Tardis, the only one left in London. And as they're about the destroy it I've heard, I'm glad that we did!

It was a great day, and I'm hopefully going back in October for the winter version. Fingers crossed I can make it!!

Scissor Sock Tutorial

Image
Hi all! I've had so many request from friends for these scissor socks that I wanted to share the tutorial with you. I've been sick for a while so this tutorial is well over due. This will be my first sewing tutorial so I hope it's clear enough :) Feel free to make you own or for friends or family, but please don't use it for commercial purposes or make them to sell. It is after all not my pattern. So let's get started :) You need: 2 pieces of fabric with different print Interfacing (with ironing option on one side only) Cord Ribbon 1 button  Beads Cutting mat and ruler Rotary cutter and scissors Some sort of circular template (I use a small plate) Needle and thread Cut the fabric and the interfacing to a rectangle of 9x12.5 inches (23x32 cm). Decide which fabric you want where, this will influence the next step. Use your circular template to round one corner. The fabric you want on the top and bottom of your sock will have t

Fabulising February - Men's Shirt Dress

Image
Hi everyone! Fabulising February is nearly over and this is the last project I have managed to complete.Tomorrow I'll post a short recap showing all the finished projects. Wanting to go out with a bang, I tackled a men's shirt that the bf bought online many years ago and forgot to return it so I wanted to make something nice out of it. Seems a waste to be throwing away a brand new shirt! Granted, it was white and while probably cotton it was very thick and stiff material. So I dyed it purple. Of course. Once it was purple, I then had to try and do something with it. Easier said than done! I finally found a cute idea for a dress in blogland (didn't save the link though) and I really wanted to try that. But the instructions were super tricky so in the mending pile it went. This is the shirt. Much too large even for the bf but purple at least ;) And a bit wrinkled for being in the bag for a very long time. But with only a little time left in my Fabulising February

My Neighbor Totoro Project #2: Catbus

Image
Hello again! So last time I showed you how I made Totoro. I ended up making yet another doll / pillow from the same movie for the same friend! I think this was a present for a combination of life events, and I knew she would love this. This time, I made Catbus! (if you don't know what Catbus looks like, please Google it as there are so many references out there! Or better yet: watch the movie, you will love it!) Again, I went shopping for fabric... at least this time I knew what I needed, the wool was just perfect, I just had to find the right colours. Catbus has various shades of brown and a bright yellow. The brown was easy but I couldn't find yellow anywhere... In the end I opted for yellow felt which worked as well. Not the tiny squares of craft felt, no the proper felt on a roll. It seemed stronger, and the colour was perfect. Sadly this time there was no tutorial, but I did find a pillow on ebay that served as inspiration for this project. Ok, I mostly copied it... M
