Timmy the Monkey costume project

This is Timmy, the ThinkGeek Monkey
On May 24th, I was on my way to see Avengers( for the 4th time), and as I was looking at my Twitter timeline I saw this:


Hey, I'm a crafter!

so I read through the article a couple times to make sure there wasn't a a catch and I wasn't missing anything and signed up( all before the start of the previews)!

I received an email later that day with 2 choices that I could pick from: Iron Man or Nick Fury.

So,

drumroll please

I am making Timmy the Monkey an Iron Man suit that he will wear at SDCC(and possible over cool conventions) this year!!!

I am super overly excited about this!!!!

People across the US get to see something that I made!!!!




So how can you stay updated with my Iron Man costume for Timmy??:

By searching the keyword #adarlingdesignIronManTimmy on Twitter (or just click here), you'll be able to see photos and updates of his costume. If you're also a fan of a darling design on Facebook, you'll be able to see more detailed updates. I will try and post bi-weekly updates here without blowing up your Twitter or Facebook feed with a ton of updates all the time.




I am super excited guys!!

( Timmy already has a Cap and Thor costume-check them out! )

PS. Timmy arrived the other day!!(I love mail!)

WTNV (cosplay) skirt

I MADE A SKIRT! I'm going to a live WTNV show this week. It'll be my 2nd show and (75+ podcasts later) I'm really excited! I wanted to make a really easy skirt without a pattern for awhile now and after scouring the interwebs for an hour I found a couple sites with some pretty easy instructions. (you can check them out here and here ).  I didn't want it to be overly complicated- so no zipper or fabric waistband, but I did want a lining and an elastic waistband. I bought some YaYa Han cosplay brocade (the full cosplay line here ) and some purple lining ( the online picture is a crimson- IRL it's a purple that matches the brocade) from Jo-Anns.  I already had some soft  1.5 in elastic from another project( that i haven't started yet...). The last clothing item I made turned out really badly so since I've sewn and learned some new tricks since then, I was pretty optimistic about making this skirt. It seemed really easy while reading it onl...
