Well, I headed over to my grandmothers today for the first time since my grandfather and I had that little upset (which is all clear, btw). I was looking through my grandmother's immense storage of fabric for anything I could possibly use for my friends and my upcoming Invader Zim cosplay.
To my surprise, what is the first fabric my sister and I stumbled upon? Tons of radioactive green fabric, perfect for her G.I.R. cosplay! As we tunneled deeper, we found a great shade of purple for Tak, and the right shades of pinkish-red for Zim's main costume and sleeves. It was a very rewarding afternoon, really.
I love the thought of how much money my friends and I just saved right there, not to mention the effort of going to a fabric store with them (which is kind of far from here). Not to mention the fact that we can get started on G.I.R. right away. And I'm sure there's enough black in those recesses of fabric for Gaz and maybe for Dib's trench coat. w00t!
