Mar. 17th, 2012 06:29 pmStill trying to make the Edward Scissorhands costume. Went to Camden, partly because I'd not been there for a while and partly because I know for a fact that I can get leather stuff for a tenner a piece. Can't be all that choosy. No men's trousers but since I'm going to be slicing them up, decided to re-tailor a pair of womens. I have no qualms about wearing womens clothes:) They have a tighter fit around the leg, anyway, which is what I need.
Also found a replacement army rucksack. In green, so acquired some dye. A pack of dye is far too much so felt I should buy a new shirt as well.
I was at the hardware store so bought some plastic sheeting (really good for tracing patterns. I recommend this to everyone. Better behaved than tracing paper and really easy to cut.
Still prefer the look of mostly sewn mismatched leather so dismantled the trousers, and replaced chunks. One major cock-up which I wasn't happy with. Had to stop when I ran out of thread. How have I used 100m of cotton already?
Decided I hadn't done myself a roast for too long so bought one of them as well... And a bottle of Rioja. Half price at Tesco:) Will probably not be drinking it this evening actually. Still have a bit of a sore throat from the cold a couple of weeks back.
