The costume I was working on is still not done (too many RL things keep getting in the way of me and the sewing machine) but it's jsut as well since I'm hosting a halloween party, a floor lenght gown wouldn't be conducive for serving punch and finger sandwiches. I'm probably going to go with my WWII pulp hero girl costume (picture as soon as I get home)

I'll be either a pirate (again) or Cyclops from the X- Men movies.

This year, I am going as a samurai (surprisingly, I have never done that before) and my girlfriend is going as a ninja. I have a keikogi and hakama, although I don't know how the host will react to my carrying a sword that isn't plastic. :unsure:

In some states you are allowed to carry it as long as its out in the open and the blade has never been sharpened.

I'm not worried about the law, just about not offending the host. As I will only be at the costume party with the sword, the law isn't really a concern. But I always like to show good manners to my host. It is his home after all.

Graciously, of course. :D

Thought I'd show you guys some WIP shots...

I decided to use my time between classes today to work on my costume a bit.. I only had the yarn from a little pocket sewing kit, so it ran out pretty fast.. I only had enough to do a first pass on the coat; hopefully I'll have about 3 times as much on the coat, and an even amount on the pants..

[spoiler]
Here's the full getup...

And here's a closeup of the coat..

[/spoiler]

Yep yep.. fun stuff! I knew sewing badly would come in handy someday. :P

Oh, the only thing I have left to get my hands on is I'm waiting for my acidic green button-up shirt to arrive..

I was just told last night that after sewing up the costume the women had got for me so it would fit me it got accidently thrown away awhle cleaning up the house yesterday. I've been told not to worry because they will figure out someting for me to wear. If you think I was worried about what they had chosen for me to wear, now i'm really worried about what I may look like this Saturday night at the Halloween Party.
