Seryn-FYI. I FINALLY got around to ordering our pistols. Two for you, two for me. I'm going to make a sash for myself and just stick the pistols in my sash. Seems the easiest way to go about it.
And I ordered the corset laces. They should be heading your way soon.
Nearly there!

omg tristan! those boots are so shiny!! you made them yourself?? *already knows the answer but is still amazed* wow...
ok, hi peoples!! jumping right into the middle now, but i'm making a kaylee costume for D*C and haven't exactly...um...started yet, 
hehe. whoops. i can't seem to find the perfect jumpsuit...it has to be an olive green/brown color, zipper down front, and i can't seem to find it. any ideas or websites where i could go?
also, tristan, you offered in another thread to give me instructions on making a teddy bear patch. i wasn't able to respond because i was in a hurry and then i lost the thread. didn't want you to think the offer wasn't appreciated and *hug* is the offer still out there? if anyone else knows of a place where there are some good teddy bear patches like kaylee's please tell me. i haven't found any i like as of yet, but you might know of some that i haven't seen.
on a side note: hey serenity!!! *pouncels you and huggles you tight tight* girl i haven't seen you in forever! how have you been??

EngineAngel, yes I did make those...it's ok, I love the fact that people think they look good! 
Makes me feel all accomplished and stuff.
As far as Kaylee goes, I am willing to help. The teddy bear patch pattern is at home (and I'm at work right now), so I can't give that to you right now. Suffice to say I cut the pattern out of brown, shaggy upholstery material and then did zig-zag machine stitches and hand-stitching to finish it off. It is not perfect, but it passes muster. As to the jumpsuit, I had to buy one, and then remove a bunch of pockets along with the sleeves...and then put pockets back on in the right places. The good news is that it only took about a day to do all this, and there is enough cloth left over from the sleeves to accomplish everything. I have lots of pictures of my wife's Kaylee outfit on photobucket; PM me if you want the link.

ENGIE!!!!!!!
*huggles right back*
I am SO GLAD you're coming to D*C. You MUST find me so we can party and whatnot. Are you going to be in the parade? I'm gonna be in the parade. Parade is FUN.
And we're goin' to Buffy Prom. Come to Prom with us!
I hope you get your Kaylee costume done! I never tried because of the very same reasons-finding the jumpsuits and patches and whatnot! hard work!

will do tristan
I'm so happy i'm going to be able to come and hang at D*C too! We'll have to find a time to meet up! I'm going to try to be in the parade if my kaylee costume gets done. *please please please* and also in the masquerade contest if the costume gets done (i'm thinking i'll eat a strawberry in front of the crowd 
) I was thinking of going to the buffy prom, but I heard it had been a flop in past years. Do you think it'll be shiny this year? I'm also thinking of going to the wash wake, what about you?
I think i'm going to have to just choose a jumpsuit, whether it's exact or not. I found a perfect one except it has velcrow instead of a zipper, and i don't know how to put a zipper on. 
any insights?

Engie: If we go to Buffy Prom then it'll be fun because we'll make it fun!
It was rather lame last year. Nothing compared to our Shindig. It stinks that they get to have prom again but we don't get to have our OVERCROWDED LINES DOWN THE STREET TO GET IN party. :(
I'd leave the velcro, seems to me, if you don't know how to do zippers. Zippers are a pain (I think, Tristan probably majored in them. lol.) I think if you get a cute top to wear under, get your patches situated and find a parasol, you'll be good to go!

very true serenity, and i know washie wants to go to buffy prom too (and i have a shiny dress). that does suck though that there's no shindig this year. *pouts* it'll still be tons of fun though :)
the problem with me getting the one with the velcro and just leaving the velcro is that it's not like kaylee's, and i want it to be as right as possible.
