fabric woes
Jan. 29th, 2011 02:39 pmOverdramatic icon = appropriate for this. XD
I'm pretty T_T right now because ok, I got this black moleskin a while ago with the intention of using it for Synchronicity Len but decided to get some extra 'cause I always have a use for moleskin. And then I thought "hey I could probably use it for Teito too~" So thus was the plan. Then canceled the Synchronicity costume for Katsu so instead started on Teito. Well...Teito took up a lot more fabric than I thought and I'm here starring at the little I have left.
Its probably not enough for Len. T_____T And they don't sell moleskin again until the Fall. T___T And I really really really wanted to use that fabric for Len. T_______T Dammit.
And if you haven't seen my Facebook statuses on it, I've been having a hell of a time with Teito as is. Everything that could go wrong, has been going wrong. I cried quite a bit over the damn thing last night. Its just a whole mess and its frustrating me. Was pretty close to saying "Fuck it" and just give up on it (but then again we've heard me say that before...).
Add to all of this that I can't find the right shade of gold I want for Teito. And then I went to get the fabric for Ren's costume and what I thought had plenty on it...turned out to be 2 pieces instead of 1 and neither big enough. The girl is like "well how about 2 pieces of 2 yds?" and I'm like "hm...I guess that might work..." pondering over in my mind if that would be enough for the pieces to work and well before I can really think, she goes ahead and cuts it! And oh my god I was going to kill that girl. She cuts it and I'm looking at the pieces like "wait...that piece was more than 2 yds total...why didn't you give me that full piece and then just cut a smaller piece, I probably could have used that extra and now its wasted!" Just. Dumb girl is dumb! She didn't even offer me the remnant or anything. x_x So I'm not washing or doing anything with this fabric til I'm sure it works 'cause if the pieces don't fit, I'm returning it and getting something else. 'Cause seriously, you don't rush people when they're trying to think on that. Especially when dealing with expensive fabric.
Ugh...I'm just sick of my bad luck.
