Making costumes

Making costumes is hard, but worthwhile for the look of the movie. I have a limited amount of different coloured fabrics at the moment, so I may need to buy some more fabrics depending on the design requirements of the different characters I create. I'm keeping the designs simple because I've discovered that my tailoring skills seem to be a little week. Mainly I keep sticking myself with pins, can't cut the fabric straight, and sew horribly. I tend to have to undo some seams because I've pinned the wrong sides together. Making costumes is harder than it looks. Designing them is the easy part. Actually putting them together is hard. Especially since I know nothing about making clothing.
The script for Deathbot is coming along nicely. I now have 11 pages, but I am wondering if I will have enough ideas to make the movie 90 minutes long. I don't want it to get boring because I have scenes that are long winded. This is just the first draft anyway. After I finish it I will read it through and see if I need to make any changes. I have to remember that non of my actors are actually actors, so I may need to keep some of their dialogue short. I figure some people will not even say a single line of dialogue simply because they will be in the background or are too shy or embarrassed to speak on camera. I'll try to get them to say their lines convincingly.
I've been looking for some paint or paper that will glow under black lights, but can't seem to find any in a quantity that I need for a price I can afford. I may have to think of something else to make the bar have more atmosphere. I was going to use the paper or paint to create a design on the walls of the bar. I still need to view the location for the bar. I'll try to do that Saturday.
I'm also thinking that I might be able to use the basement location for another set as well and just redress it to look different.
