Better ref pic~~

I'd say that looks more like a thirty for forty dollar cosplay, not a sixty dollar one.

But it IS super cute, and you'd look absolutely adorable.

I suppose I could consider making it for you... it actually looks pretty simple, and seems like it'd be fun to make.

Ah, thank you for your input~ > u <
I actually just sent her a PM trying to haggle a bit, so I'm going to wait and see what she says, but if she says no, I will definitely send you a PM. :33
Thank youuu~

No problem! And good luck with the haggling, Shay~

Ya more like 40$ then 60. It's pretty simple, but depending on the price of fabric you could spend half that price on material. More likely you will only spend 10$ on material, or a few more for the orange thread. ^^

Wrt Popotan in general, meh. But Unagi-after-the-episode was ridiculously cute.

(Not just saying that because Ayako Kawasumi voiced her, either.)

StarryShay · « **Reply #7 on:** October 15, 2010, 10:28:30 pm »

OKAY GUYS, SO, MY HALLOWEEN PLANS CHANGED.

Now I am being Pikachu, and I really want a Pikachu Kigurumi.
Is there anyone that could make one by Halloween for around $40? (Or I could pay you half when I get it, and the other half in a few weeks when I have more money~)
The fabric doesn't have to be great, just soft, and I want it to look something like this:

Thank youuu~

camname21 · « **Reply #8 on:** October 16, 2010, 07:33:19 pm »

That's a lot of fabric :/

oslapedo · « **Reply #9 on:** October 16, 2010, 07:47:55 pm »

Your mother is a lot of fabric.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #10 on:** October 16, 2010, 08:13:55 pm »

I said on Facebook I might be able to alter Penelope so here she is!
I can easily change the ears as they are just on a headband that holds the hood up. The ears slip through two holes in the hood so you can wear it with or without the ears.
I can pull the hood down more and paint on a face if you wish. (Or you can just paint your own face...?)
Tail and stripes on the back would be easy.
I can also trim the sleeves or you can do it to your desire. This fabric does not need to be hemmed so trimming is easy.
It goes to my feet but, as you know, I am shorter than you so your feet will show. I could add some fabric to the bottom if you want.
I could also turn the bottom into the pantsish thing if you want. It is easier to wear in a dress/snuggie fashion because you don't see the zipper.
Also, this is very warm and will keep you warm in the winter. It is easy to move around in and is 'waterproof.' The fabric gets heavier with water and does get damp but it will keep you dry. ^^

StarryShay · « **Reply #11 on:** October 16, 2010, 08:17:34 pm »

CUTE O___O
Is there any way you'd be able to turn it into more of a pant thing at the bottom though? 'o'
And if you could do the tail and face that would be amazingly perfect.
If you think you can do it all, I would definitely love to buy it from you, but how much do you think it'll cost? :3

Oh, but before I agree, I was also talking to a few more people about this, so let me make sure I know what I want to do before I ask you to do all this! xD

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #12 on:** October 16, 2010, 08:30:14 pm »

Yeah. I would probably need to add a bit of fabric to the bottom because of our height difference though.

As for cost...Um....Psh...I fail at this kind of stuff... ^^;
I asked my mom and she said that about $20-25 (and then about $5 shipping would bring it to $25-30) would be good.
But yeah...whatever it is worth to you. I don't even remember how much the fabric cost me. XP So like...a total of $25 minimum...?

And if the seam looks bad I will go buy more fabric and make it from scratch for you. ^^
(I have no life so it wouldn't be an issue.)

Also, would you want it closed in the front like in the picture? Or do you want something hidden?
I can have it where the inside of the legs button up so you can still slip the outfit on like a dress and then it can be buttoned around your legs.
~~Also makes going to the bathroom easier.~~

StarryShay · « **Reply #13 on:** October 16, 2010, 08:37:05 pm »

Alrighty, that sounds good! :333
As far as the leg things go, hmmmmmm.
I really want it to fit around my ankles like in the picture or whatever, but I'm not sure that would work. xD
Sewing is so confusing. .___.
And do you have enough extra fabric for the tail and ears? 'o'
Also, can the sleeves be made shorter, or do you want me to do that myself if I were to get it? :3
Cause I don't mind~~

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #14 on:** October 16, 2010, 08:41:42 pm »

As long as I know how big your ankles are, I can do it with elastic. ^^
And I would just leave the elastic attached that you would slip your feet into and then it would button above the elastic straps.

And yes, I do. I have at least a yard or two of fabric left from my original purchase.

And I can make the sleeves shorter and go around your wrists like in the picture. I just need shoulder to wrist measurements and the measurement of your wrists.

Everything is easy, I just need measurements to do it all. ;P

StarryShay · « **Reply #15 on:** October 16, 2010, 08:52:37 pm »

Is there any way you can just sew the leg things then? xD
I just feel like it might look silly if I had buttons all over my leg. > u >
And yes, I can get you measurements right now!
(Can you keep the sleeves a little longer then my wrist though, like in the picture~?)

Shoulder to wrist - 25in
Wrist - 6 1/2 in
Ankle - 8 1/2 in
Hip to ankle? xD - 39in ish~~

ALSO WOO I GUESS I WILL PUT MY FAITH IN YOUR PIKACHU SKILLS ♥
About how long do you think all of the alterations will take? o u o

StarryShay · « **Reply #16 on:** October 16, 2010, 08:58:51 pm »

I like the bottom on this one o u o

AND THIS ONE'S FACE xD

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #17 on:** October 16, 2010, 09:31:57 pm »

You wouldn't see the snaps because they would be under you but okay. XP
You want snaps all up the front then?

And I need your height. XP So I know how much fabric to add to the bottom so it's not like...up to your knees. >.>

They shouldn't take that long. Once I finish my English homework today/tomorrow, I will start on it.
I just need to make a trip to Joann's to buy snaps and find some elastic in the sewing room or in my sewing boxes in my room.

Also! Do you want the ears attached to the hood?
Or do you want them on a headband that slips through holes?

StarryShay · « **Reply #18 on:** October 16, 2010, 09:41:50 pm »

Snaps up the front would be cute > u >

And I am 5'6"

I think attached to the hood is best~~~ o u o

THANK YOU SO MUCH ♥

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #19 on:** October 16, 2010, 09:44:10 pm »

No problem! ^^

One more question... >.>
Ears up or ears floppy?

StarryShay · « **Reply #20 on:** October 16, 2010, 09:47:05 pm »

Oh jeez, that's a tough question.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #21 on:** October 16, 2010, 09:48:37 pm »

I can't see that picture... >.>

And I lied...I have another question! >.<
Tail floppy or attached to the back to stand up?
And how tall do you want the tail?

StarryShay · « **Reply #22 on:** October 16, 2010, 09:52:55 pm »

SORRYLOLOL xD
Can you make them kind of like in the first picture I posted:

Quote from: StarryShay on October 15, 2010, 10:28:30 pm

And the tail could be about 30in? :'O
And it can be floppy~~

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #23 on:** October 16, 2010, 10:00:42 pm »

Alright.
Any specific length of ears?

Sorry for all the questions. They keep coming to me and I want to make this as perfectly as I can. :/

Also, if you find any issues with it when you get it, you can send it back after Halloween and I will make the alterations you want or whatever.

StarryShay · « **Reply #24 on:** October 17, 2010, 06:40:23 am »

Ear length could be about 8 or 9 inches? :333
THANK YOU. ♥
Questions are goood~ o u o

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #25 on:** October 17, 2010, 12:29:34 pm »

I need shoulder to floor when you get a chance.
This way I can size my mannequin to your height and I don't have to keep measuring...

You want it bunched around your feet and a little at your wrists, yes?

StarryShay · « **Reply #26 on:** October 17, 2010, 01:25:49 pm »

Yes please on the bunching! ♥
And shoulder to floor is 56 inches~

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #27 on:** October 17, 2010, 01:33:21 pm »

Almost done with my homework and then I will start on the ears, stripes, and tail. ^^ Get the easiest things out of the way so I don't end up rushing them at the end.

Then I will do the sleeves. Then the feet. And last the snaps.

But for the face...do you want it painted on or sewed on?
If sewed they will be felt. Paint is just simple fabric paint.

StarryShay · « **Reply #28 on:** October 17, 2010, 04:45:46 pm »

I'm not very familiar with fabric paint, so maybe using felt would be best?
Whatever you think will look good is fine with me! ♥

Sugarlat · « **Reply #29 on:** October 17, 2010, 04:46:18 pm »

I would make you it for a price 8D
lol idk what you've done but I just looked at the picture and commented XD

StarryShay · « **Reply #30 on:** October 17, 2010, 05:02:47 pm »

SORRY MONICA, I already asked Kris to make it. > . <
But thank you for the offer~ > u >

Sugarlat · « **Reply #31 on:** October 17, 2010, 05:07:34 pm »

No problem XD
