SO I'm moving back to college.

Many of you may or may not know this, but I go to school for Fashion Design in Boston, MA. You also may not know that I live in Alabama during school breaks.

Seeing as my break is coming to a close, I'm in the process of moving myself and my studio back up to school over the next 5 days! Because of this I will (obviously I'll be in the car for 3 days) not be able to work on any costumes till I can get the studio up. DON'T PANIC! This just means progress photos will not be available for 5-8 days. IT DOESN'T mean that any body's costumes will be neglected/not be finished or arrive on time. I planned this and have everyone's commissions packed in individual bags and they're all ready to go once I can get my machine up!

Because I will be moving in contact with me MAY be a bit spotty, I am going to try my HARDEST to stay on top of everything and everyone, but please be patient with me <3

If any one has any questions, comments or concerns feel free to email me or comment on this~

All my love,

Martha
Head Seamstress

This is Rainbow Dash's progress so far! Still waiting to get ahold of my model so that I can measure the length and put a proper zip in, but all in good time I suppose!

Literally all that's left is to put the closures on the bolero/skirt and like, make the pink sleeves. Maybe I'm forgetting something, but yeah that's all I have left. 

Is there a reward for a person who can get a huge costume like this done in like 5 days? Can I have that award now??

Not gonna lie, I'm diggin that back ground light, makes it look more ethereal. 
ANY WHO, this is the Goddess Madoka progress that I was able to do tonight. I got the top white dress pretty much finished, it's boned, lined and it's REALLY just missing a zipper.

As for the bottom skirts, I'm gonna have to get some black fabric in the morning to make the black cosmos stand out a bit more, but all in all the skirt just needs to be gathered into it's waistband and then well you know the rest.

The only thing that ISNT somewhat sewn, is the bolero, but it's sitting on the table waiting it's turn. 

All in all I'm a little surprised that I got this far in like 5 hours. I'm concerned I may be a robot.

Good night folks! This designer is past her bed time.
