That helps a lot chef! Thank goodness I didn't cut the pouches yet! I have no clue where I put my fabric! another reason why u hate taking so long to work on a costume. I can't find the fabric for the pouches and the suede. And the butt flap I already sewed I was soooo freaking pissed. I looked everywhere. It's not like it grew legs and walked away but I gave up looking and gonna buy new ones! But I'll get the measurements from my chest piece to the belt to make sure it's good like that!!!! I already made the cumberbatch. I'm not very "curvatious" lmao Sad but true. The difference between torso waist and hips aren't that big of a deal so I just made it straight. Lol It may be kind of sad as a girl but it definitely makes fitting these costumes much easier. Like with my TK.... I read some girls had issues with the butt plates sticking out because of the curve.... I did NOT have that issue! AT ALL! Lol I'll try to send pics today so you guys can see.

Yeeey I'm back again today!!!!! I looked around for my phone of pattern for the pouches and I couldn't find it. Believe me going through my patterns again and again and maybe even my fabric buns would take so much longer than making new patterns. Hahahah So I just made new ones. I followed the studio creations measurements BUT I reduced it a tad bit!!! Cause I have a much smaller frame so I think it will look better on me. But I also don't want them to look small! Does it make sense!?!? So for example... The front and back height said 17.75cm I just did 17.5cm The "length" said 15.5cm and I did 15. Like I said. Just a little bit. I'm not even sure if it will make too much of a difference. But as long as it looks proportional I'm cool with it

Hey guys! My pup isn't 100% just yet It's kind of hard. Sometimes I can't tell if he is bored, depressed (from just being crated and not able to play and go for a nice walk) or if he is being too guarded because he remembers the pain, or if he is really in pain! But what really stopped me a lot from getting back to this build was the mess in my apartment. My tiny place is tiny and macs new HUGE crate took half of it. I also made the mistake of setting it up in a way I couldn't get to my sewing table. But I fixed that issue this weekend! I also quickly finished the cumberbatch and fixed the best collar, added the Velcro! Hopefully I can finish all the sewing this weekend. I feel like I have soooooo little left to do and just can't get to it! Fingers crossed that this weekend I can!

Thank you!!!! We got the results and things aren't as simple but it seems they are good news. The vet believes he has 2 mild conditions (one he was born with and we just found out because of the MRI) that together are causing intense pain. But they are not treatable and none are life threatening. Just really painful. We were able to get him specific medication and the vet told me I should see improvement quickly. I just didn't believe it would be so quick. One dose of the medication and he was already acting differently! More himself. What a huge relief. I got my boots this week and I didn't even have the desire to open the package! That's how bad I was! Hopefully I can get back on track now that he is on the mend. I definitely need the distraction. And it's so sad that I am so close to done and can't finish it!

Thanks guys!!!! Thank God he can walk! The vet said that's a good sign and even after surgery he won't need PT. so that's good news.

Thanks Todd! It doesn't really seem likely tho. Today was a nightmare of a day that started at 3am with him screaming in pain. We were referred to a neurologist and it looks like he needs surgery. he will have an MRI done Wednesday to see what it will need to be done. But he is in a lot of pain and very uncomfortable so they think surgery Is the way to go I couldn't even drive today he just screamed in the car. I literally left my car where lever we were and called an uber.

Some of you may have seen from my FB posts... My dog is really hurt. :( it's been a nightmare of a weekend. I didn't do anything besides lay down in bed with him the whole time. So i didn't even touch my shadow.

Alright!!!!! Done!!!! Sorry for the disappearance lol I had to focus on something a bit more important (also legion related of course! Lol cause that's how I roll!!!!! Lol) But now I feel I can get back to the costume! Just ordered the boots (last one on the list as you guys suggested) And next week I'll order the gloves!!!! Hopefully I will have some more update pics this weekend

I can't wait to see me in that scout either!!!! But I confess I didn't do much this past weekend. I had an event (you know... What we do! Hahaha) then little trouble with my car made me get to the party late! People were not building anymore and I just felt bad to make stop eating and stuff to help me with my helmet Maybe this weekend I'll get there on time! But I'm ordering the gloves and boots this weekend and will be officially done with the buying part of this costume! YEEEY! Hahah But I need help with the boots! These were the ones I found and posted on my first post! I know that the ones that have the grey part on the sole will need to be painted black! I guess depending on the material a permanent sharpie can even do the trick right??? So here they are Boots http://www.amazon.com/Soda-Womens-Equity-S-Padded-Black/dp/B00MLO5TUE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1451678853&sr=8-3&keywords=women%27s+black+work+boots http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SLYGC3G/ref=twister_B00UXZ4GMA?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 http://www.amazon.com/Womens-Combat-Padded-Hiking-Shoes/dp/B014AS1ZLU/ref=sr_1_97?ie=UTF8&qid=1451679220&sr=8-97-spons&keywords=women%27s+black+work+boots&psc=1 http://www.amazon.com/Reneeze-JACKIE-01-Womens-Mid-Calf-Double/dp/B00MWEH6AO/ref=sr_1_144?ie=UTF8&qid=1451679333&sr=8-144&keywords=women%27s+black+work+boots The last one is my least favorite but it's the only one I found that has a shorter heel! But if the other ones wouldn't be an issue it could be nice to be some tiny inches taller Hahahha What you guys think? And gloves just gonna order them from wampa wear as they seem the ones that every one trusts and gets!!! and also they don't need to be worked on right?!? Sewing gloves are a pain lol I have a 3 day weekend this weekend. So far there nothing going on and no events that I can recall so I will lock myself, binge watch daredevil while I work on this! Lots of sewing!!!!! Lol

And you guys have no idea how much I played on the snow!!!! LOVE IT!!!! I am now going to my COs place for a costume building night. Not just Star Wars tho, but they are going to help me with the helmet. I'm too scared of drilling those holes on my own! :/ I got my blaster yesterday!!!!! Soooooo pretty! I'll post pics in a sec. For some reason it is t working! Tomorrow I'll be sewing everything I have to sew! Velcro and make the pouched. Then all I have left is finishing the belt. Hopefully next week I can decide on a pair of boots. I haven't yet!!!!! I get the pics side by side and let you know my concerns. And see what you guys think! I'm at calcimine changing oil in my car before I get on the road to finally finish my helmet! It's weird tho. It seems like this is it. Helmet! Finish the belt! Finish sewing (Velcro on vest and cumberbatch, fix neckline, sew patch on the pants and attach the butt flap that I already sewed. Prob gonna use snaps so I can take it of to wash the suit. See the pouches) And then the boots. That's it! My only experience with armor was my tk and took me 5 months! I'm in awe that I'm almost done with this one! Cannot wait!!!!!!

AGREE!!!!!!!! And now I am snowed in at a hotel and the con has been cancelled today! There's tomorrow and all but definitely should have stayed home so I could be snowed in there working on my shadow!!!! :/ But now even if we wanted to go back home we can't. State of emergency! :/

I'm a nanny! My boss was away for 4 days last week so I had to be here at 6am until her husband got home at the end of the day. Usually super late. Some days were less, some were more. But it always happens on the same week in January. Lol it's a company conference. So I'm used to it and expect it every year. But this year! Darn! Being sick and having to get out of bed when it's still dark out. And freezing???? It was a pain! I got sick around Xmas. But it was a virus of sorts. The doctor didn't even call it a cold. But it was a relative. And the. I was ok for a week and then got sick again! And it was all because the kids got sick first! it's been pretty annoying. Hope you feel better too Steve!!!!! I find super annoying to be sick! Just a pain in the ass. :/

Hey guys!!!!!! So sorry! This cold beat me up like! Badly! And I had to work 14 hours a day on top of that! I was dead to the world! Much much much better now but I have to go away for this weekend so won't be able to work on it! I miss it! It looks at me and says come love me!!!!! Lol But next week hopefully I will be back on track! I have a troop on the 29th and I was hoping to have it ready for it definitely not gonna!

Thanks Toddo! I feel like crap! It's the second time in less than a month. I work with kids and they got a cold, I got a cold! Depending on what time I get home from work today and how I'm feeling ill sew the Velcro on the vest and bund... Or I'll just go to sleep right away! Lol

Taking the day off from the build! The elastic and Velcro I ordered haven't arrived yet and I got a cold :/ again!!! Just being lazy today in between sneezes o.O
