Chell has what looks like a white wrap bandage around her right wrist. I decided to spiral-sew some white elastic so I can slip it on and off pretty easily, instead of having to wrap a bandage and find a way to hold it in place whenever I wear Chell.
 |
| First, I wrapped the elastic around my wrist and pinned it in place to make sure the length was right. |
 |
| After a little bit of swearing at the sewing machine and my tiny wrists, I determined that the first connection would have to be made with my best friend, Loctite superglue. |
 |
| After more swearing at the sewing machine, I finally got on a roll. Then I got off the roll when things got really close together, and the right (top) elastic was not lining up under the needle, so I was sewing one piece of elastic to nothing but itself. About four times. |
 |
| I glued the bottom connecting spot too, and here's the finished product. |
 |
| It's a tiny bit tight, but I'm going to slip it over something (a soda bottle or the like) to get it a LITTLE bit more stretched out. |
 |
| Ta-da! Wrist wrap, done. |
So that leaves the to-do list (edited since last time) looking like this:
 |
| 28 things to get done in 49 days (19 for Chell, 9 for Zoe). I've decided not to put the lights/sound in the portal gun for May, but I'll work on it over the summer and hopefully, I'll have that all done for any fall shows I go to. I'd like to have all that for the TWCC cosplay contest, but maybe next year. |
