Down to the Wire

So I nearly finished all the machine sewing last night. I got Jason's coat stitched to the lining and trimmed the corners, now i just have to serge the seams and turn it inside out. After that all that's left is attaching the buttons and adding some trim to the lapels. I didn't do the lapels quite right but its not worth the pain that it will be to fix it, besides people will know who he is with out it.

This was the best picture i could find ...but you can see in the picture that part of the lapel is formed from the shiny lining material ...and I just didn't want to dink around with it.

I still have to make his tie but that's an easy one should only take me 20 or minutes. I still haven't done any finishing work on Jason's vest, buttons, buttonholes/flathooks, stitching up lining hole =P

On my dress I have to sew in a bit more fringe on the sleeve (I ran out the other day) knot it and call it done. I couldn't/didn't find the pink and green tassels for the sleeve fringe but ehhh ...there's enough detail work on my dress already.

And now that I've looked at this picture I realize that I forgot I have to make my belt still ...grrrr! I'll have to figure out how to attach it since I've already sewed the lining to the bodice. I have to remove the top white organza ruffle add an extension panel both vertically and horizontally. The peplum on my bodice poofs out quite a bit and doesn't cover the top ruffle all the way. So I'm just going to cut it wider and sew it at my waistband and not worry about it. Then the final thing will be adding my flat hooks so I can close my skirt and then its done!!!! =D

I still have to make my boot covers for my Dark Phoenix costume, and I need to find my other shoe ...it's lost in the mess that is my closet right now.

I also need to stop by Michael's to buy some spray paint for the Dr Horrible goggles, and buy more pink ribbon for my belt.

We also need to record our dialogue for the masquerade ...nothing like leaving it to the last minute.

There are a couple of bits I'm thinking of doing

FIRST POSSIBILITY

Mal: Does, uh... does this seem kind of tight?
Kaylee: Shows off your backside. Did you see the chandelier? It's hovering.
Mal: What's the point of that, I wonder?
Kaylee: Oh, mangos!
Mal: I mean, I see how they did it. I just ain't gettin' the why.
Kaylee: These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I. How 'bout that?
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable.
Kaylee: Yes, sir, Cap'n Tight-Pants.

SECOND POSSIBILITY

Mal: 'Kay, help me find our man. He's supposed to be older, kind of stocky, wears a red sash crossways.
Kaylee: Why does he do that?
Mal: Maybe he won the Miss Persephone pageant. Just help me look.
Kaylee: Is that him?
Mal: That's the buffet table.
Kaylee: Well, how can we be sure, u-unless we question it?

I should also compile a packing list for everything I need to bring
