I went to Spotlight yesterday to get materials for the steampunk costume. It took a while to find the appropriate fabric, and I couldn't even find a hook for the skirt. There were simply too many things there in the shop. The salesperson was very nice, she picked out less expensive material and cut them for me. She exchanged the satin with polyester, The fabric I got for the top was slightly stretchy so it was difficult to cut to size. I discovered that it was too small after I cut it. However, I've decided to fuse the fabric onto the interfacing first, then add more fabric to the interfacing if the fabric is too small. Since the fabric is quite dark, I don't think it will matter very much. The main colour scheme is blue, and I've chosen blue button with golden crown for the jacket. Mum gave me white lace and hook for the skirt. Fuzzy gave me the interfacing material. These will definitely help saving money on the project.
I watched Project Runway in the evening. They went to the beach and did a beachwear design in team of two. The person who was eliminated wasn't focused on his work, and he didn't put his design concept forward even though he was the leader. His partner ended up designing the winning piece and made both garments by himself. I really liked how they made macrame back and top. Macrame is knotting fabric instead of knitting and weaving. That's how you make a friendship bracelet!
Theodotus's rogue got to level 80 last night. Congratulation to him. We can take his rogue and my mage to heroic instances now! It's so exciting. His night elf druid is also level 80, and getting better gear for healing now. I was not very happy about his healing before, but now my confidence is gaining. It takes time to get better gear for everyone, and I guess I have forgotten about that. Everyone was a newbie in the beginning and had bad gear.
There's a toy run on motorcycle next weekend. We are going to enter it because you may win Jet leather jacket, Shoei helmet and boots! Theo's old boots and helmet need replacing, and I think he won't mind getting new jacket, either.
I am looking forward to the engagement party and steampunk party in March.
