animegothgrrl,
1. What is the unfinished project that looms over you? Bonus points if you can remember how long it's been.
Leather corset. It's been two (or three?) months since I touched it.
2. What is your secret sewing vice?
Not making a muslin that fits. I get impatient sometimes, and that's deadly.
3. Which of your sewing friends do you envy and why?
la_roja kicks my butt, in both creativity and skill. So does balzacq.
4. If you could steal any costume sewn by anyone you know—and that includes in the LJ sense of the word—what would it be and who made it?
The silver and blue princessy latex dress made bybalzacq and worn by (I think) thevfrchick at the last Gothique show.
5. You’re stumped about how to proceed on a project, so you ask for advice from your pin posse. What is the WORST advice you received?
I don't think my pin posse has ever steered me wrong. In fact, they saved me a heap of trouble when I was sewing vinyl.
6. You worked hard on the costume, got it finished, and now you hate it and never wear it. What is it?
I don't hate Hester, but I don't have that many occasions to wear her.
7. Have you ever had a costume you made implode—while you were wearing it? Do tell!
Hm. The closest I've come to that is not being able to keep a vinyl nun's veil on my head. I still haven't conclusively solved that one. Back when I was a wee costumer I flashed a poor housemate through tights that I really should have worn underwear beneath, but a pair of shorts fixed that.
8. You know you shouldn’t wear it—the costume is soooo unflattering--but you love it and wear it anyway. What is it?
Lucrezia Borgia isn't unflattering but it is cumbersome.
9. Complete the sentence: I know I’m a costume whore because…?
...once I get started sewing I don't sleep.
10. You are at some kind of costumed event. You are trussed up in the pranciest of your prancy costumes. You are wearing a wig. And feathers. You see a work colleague. Do you step forward boldly and claim your geekitude, or do you flee?
I step forward. My cow orkers and some of my neighbors know I'm a freakazoid already.
