Progress makes Perfect

I've been a good queerbody and started on my cosplays early. Because I can *huhuhuhu*

I started off, doing the base bottom of my Ivan over-alls.
Making them on my sewing machine was a pain, since it's a CHEAP model, but Nadia have allowed me to borrow hers for the finishing touches, so EF YEAH.



btw... I hate stripes that have to align. x___x


And here's an example of how thick the fabric is, next to some pretty basic white fabric.



It's still very light and comfortable though <3



And also, I've started on the detachable stuff on Len's SOE outfit.
We call it.... the butt... thing... I dunno.
I want to name it something french XDD Since I forgot what these things are actually called.



4 pieces of apx 150 meters of fabric, damn guys, damn.


There's some faults in it, stuff that I've couldn't done differently, but still... I think the end result isn't something I'll cry about, yet XD



The thing that I'm going for, I thought it was a cool detail to a very simple outfit.



This is somewhat what it'll look like, when I've sown them all together, though the second layer will be shorten a little, so it doesn't cover up the third frill.
And it'll be easire to see all the layers when I'm actually wearing it, because my butt is not flat XP


But that's it for now, I'll keep up the work, because I loooove it xD <3

Yards of new people

Today, me an Kiba, decided to go shopping fabrics for our cosplays, at this place we hadn't been before. But apparantly... all the big kids are doing it. (ooooh, you see what I did there?)




And two more halls, I don't even!


And so we did, and oh my gosh... I want to live there!
So much awesome stuff (ooh~ twice if you're danish XD)

We were in there for like... 2-3 hours, looking for all the perfect fabrics, and I really wasn't bored or uncomfortable = great.

Aftwards we left, me carrying like 11 to 12 meters of fabric. Heavy. HEAVY.
then Noerreport to stop by at Stof2000 and Panduro, nice.

I'm seirously excited about getting started!

Tutorials?




So, I've been asked if I wanted to do some wig tutorials for the danish CosMag.
I'm still unsure if I want to do it, since I'm pretty messy and random when I make wigs, I don't have much of a system. And also I wouldn't like for people to come down on my 'techniques', since what works for me, works for me.

But anyways!

If I choose to do these tutorials... what would you guys like to see? (cutting, styling, dye, the works)
And any examples for characters that would be interesting to see? It can also just be elements of the hair, not an overall look.

Simple games

I just wanted to wear a little on my brown wig, and I figured Sora would be a good way to go about it.

Keep in mind, the wig hasn't been cut at all, and it really just is a 'play around' thing, and the get-up is just to see how it'd look with the character (Thank you Zuum for letting me borrow it)



The one I made for my DeviantArt




A better view of the overall wig




and just a picture I liked XD


If I really should make a Sora wig, it'd probably not look like this at all, I'd stick more to the actual spiking that he got, not with the waved ends, but oh well. Gotta try different things, cha know?
