Procrastination: The Art Of...Oh No, I haven't started YET???

[Chek]

Yeah, pretty much. Anyone else out there just starting and still putting it off? *coughlikemecough*

Well, I do my best work at the last minute, but with two costumes to build...hahaha, yes. Excuses, excuses. Come Firday I'm going to hate myself. Like every other year.

[tofutakeout]

so yeah I still need to finish a bit on mine. and still need to buy some things... and dye and cut my hair. but I need some place or someone that does it cheap.

[totemo_oishii]

I'm still doing a few last minute things for my cosplay...
last night I had a nightmare that I didn't finish it in time. o__o;; uwaa

[xxxchihiroxxx]

hmm well im in a rush right now but my friend is worse

i was on the phone with her yesterday and i asked who shes goin to be for the con and she told me Erika from Pokemon, so i askd to see it and she said she hadnt even picked up the fabric yet... course give her something she thought the con was next weekend.... if i hadnt of told her she would still be no where on the costume.... she says it will be epic..

for me im just rushing through the finishing details of my costume and revamping the great blue to that of a blue chocobo... (going to be a long 3 days)

[tofutakeout]

my costume has a lot of trim so I have to do a lot of work on that. resize a couple of things then I'm done.

For cutting and dying your hair, you could always to to a beauty school.. There is one by my house that does hair cuts and dies for like 2 dollars or something... but they are students so it might turn out wrong.. :/ its a chance lol

[uraharafreak]

Well right now I have not received my wigs in the mail, so am not really motivated to finish. I man what's the point of wearing a costume when I don't have the wig

where is it? it's just a simple cut I need really. I have the dye to do it myself. I just can't cut my hair.

[CharlotteElbourne]

It's in Springfield, I think... Its the Beauty College right by the bus station... *is not too sure* x_X

[tofutakeout]

thank you. I'll try going there if I can.

[CharlotteElbourne]

No problem

[eiji]

I'm finishing one up as I type (figuratively), and then I've got another to start AND complete by tomorrow afternoon. After that, I don't know if I'll have access to a sewing machine. XD

Good luck, everyone.

[superjaz]

I started today....kinda tired i made a side pouch and a pair of pants, tho in my defence i need the person i'm making the costume for to be here and he just came to town
luckly i work days tomorrow and next so i have evening to work on it

[myalchod]

I wouldn't be so nervous about finishing if it weren't for the fact that work is doubtless going to try to kill me in these next two days.  T_T  I got so frustrated at my Miranda dress (and other things) last night that I walked away from the sewing machine before I just ripped something, and it took me about three times as long to style my Unohana wig as I'd planned (though that, at least, is done).  Other than the dress (which needs hemming, half of the inset collar, and sleeve buttons), I've still got a wonky obi, a skirtlike thing, and a belt to assemble for Risai, though the latter two should be fairly quick work.

So yeah, I'm nervous.  And I'm trying to leave Friday morning open to pack before I fly up, so I don't even have that in which to sew.

[EveofAbyss]

I don't have much left that I can personally do. That's actually a bad situation to be in, as I've got all the time in the world but can't sew or style a wig (which is what is left to do), so I have to leave it up to Kahlan who works almost 12 hours a day. I wish I knew how to do those things because then I would just finish my stuff myself, but yeah, that's not the case. So, I too, am in a way putting things off, heh. I think it will get done though.

[makichan]

I need to
*finish styling one wig
*mold vampire fangs
*Get black dress shoes
*Get make-up
*make happy berry clips for my other wig.

I'm not too worried but I need to finish them...

[Runa]

I've been known to show up at the hotel with sewing machine and fabric and finish assembling a costume within hours of the start of a convention...


I am trying to AVOID that this year, but there are some things for my Cornelia (of Code Geass) costume that I MEANT to fix this past year, and STILL haven't bothered to do... so those are going to have to be handled at the convention. The funniest part is that the bits that I need to fix (gloves & shoes) are the SAME bits that I stitched by hand at the convention last year on Saturday night.

This sounds vaguely familiar...
Only in my case, it's usually done sometime in the wee hours of the second con morning. Or later. Depends on what day the outfit's needed for.

I'm trying to get more sewing work done before leaving home so the only things that need to be completed at con are things like wig trimming. My new sewing machine's heavy, and I'd rather not bring it, but the new job I started last week has eaten several days intended to be devoted to cosplay construction.
