I was supposed to start working on my costume in December for June, but I got a switch with my boyfriend and have spent every free minute with it during my time with it. Some major life shit has been eating up half my time and I spent the rest of it with that siren of a console. I only have two weeks left of vacation before my last semester of school starts again. I work during the summer and have little gremlin siblings to take care of otherwise. I didn't expect to finish in one week, but I feel like I've squirreled away a good chunk of my time already. This is a bad omen. It's supposed to be an easy costume. Please, 2020 be gentle upon me.

What are you working on, op?

Please say sike

I am getting so weary after hitting so many road blocks while making my costume. It's my first time ever making a full garment and I'm not grilling myself for making mistakes, but it's getting hard not to get demotivated when it feels like I'm hitting them at every turn. I finally finished making both layers of the bodice and excitedly stitched them together and under stitched. I put it on and.... the shit was lopsided and really low on my body. Okay, fine. I redo the understitching, this time by hand because it's hard to get a clean finish on the unusual anime proportions. It looks a million times better. Some faith has returned. I baste the ends together and try it on with a temporary zipper: It's too loose and the fucking layers don't match up somehow despite multiple fittings. Fuck, whatever. I decide to move onto the skirt in the meantime to build up my desire to sew again and hey! The more professional tutu I order arrived recently so I decide to try it on to get an estimate of how I long the skirt needs to be.When I put it on it doesn't fucking fit past my thighs. I'm not a big woman, somewhere between 130-40 pounds (possibly on the latter end of that spectrum since I recently gained weight which has been hitting hard on my self-esteem), but nonetheless the large adult size I ordered doesn't fit. Fucking end my painful existence.

This semester of school has been really hard on me in addition to other difficult life stuff going on and I've been really looking to turn to costume-making as a stress reliever and creative outlet but it's just making me feel incompetent right now. I have time to seek other solutions, but I'm boy does sudoku sound like a prime-A solution right now.
