Design thoughts

When I decided in January to make a Captain Marvel costume I first went to the best resource, the internet. There are already some great cosplays out there and lots of help. I also decided to base my costume on this picture.

I measured the proportions of red to yellow on the top and worked out how  much each color gets. Also I took some internet advice and choose the pattern Kwik Sew 3052. It's a super easy pattern and I will only have to make a few adjustments which I will get to later. Here was the start. 

Doing something different

Sorry about my non- posting self. I have been spending time losing weight so that I can make this costume. It's Marvel's current Captain Marvel. I have decided that I should log this somewhere if anything just so I can remember it after the fact. So starting in the next post I will do a play by play if what I have done so far and maybe it will help someone down the road. 

Mission control we have robot.

My son has made a battle bot and entertained the dogs with it tonight. It doesn't look like much, but it seems to like zipping around the carpet. Adventures with a twelve year old. 

I just don't pet this dog enough.

I love this silly dog

He loves my son like no other.

I love having boys

Here are my boys all together. Solo is busy laying on my feet, but they are still together.

Sweet boy
