@Nightlotus- Dyamn gurllllllll. Lookin' super fine.

I have to start working on MEWcon stuff myself now that Akicon is done. Just need to make a guitar and my new Bridget costume though. Ugh, drafting weird fitting patterns sucks. I might try to see if I can get someone to help me.

I am working on jack sparrow here is my coat and hat (the coat is made from the same fabric that was used on screen)

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #356 on:** November 13, 2009, 08:40:01 pm »

I must admit, your hat is a thing of beauty.

I sewed my Ma-san caplet!

It's so warm and soft, I love fleece <3 And I have a ton left, so I'm tempted to make my bloomers out of it, too.

And here's the new dynamite I made:

I couldn't find any wood that was the right size/shape, and I realized that a toilet paper roll was almost perfect! So I cut on down, and covered it in felt. Because it's covered in fabric, I can just sew it right onto the caplet.

oslapedo · « **Reply #358 on:** November 15, 2009, 08:43:37 pm »

I took some super crappy pics of me in my Ryoko Asakura and Nayuki Minase cosplay but they sucked too hard to be posted here. Hopefully I'll be able to get some nice pictures next weekend because both of those cosplay are done~

Those look great!!!

I ordered two wigs this morning, one for Allen, and one black wig for Ash and other things...

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #360 on:** November 17, 2009, 09:05:53 pm »

YEAH EVEN MORE MA-SAN PROGRESS!

A TERRIBLE picture of me, but I made the bloomers! The crotch is way too big, but I guess it'll be comfy? I also hemmed the capelet (I failed at ;-; ) and sewed on the ears.

The dynamite is just pinned on, and I don't know when I'll sew it on. Probably not until closer to MEWcon, since I like wearing this capelet around.
Hood with ears = cute
Hood with ears + dynamite = wtf

Now I need to make my dress. I need the fabric, and I'll be off! I cut out my pattern and it should work.

Kisitiene · « **Reply #361 on:** November 17, 2009, 09:18:38 pm »

Kinda progress but kinda not? I started my Push ups & Sit ups routine last night after realizing I ate nothing but cookies all day (Had no school). So that motivated me to start working out. Plus, now I get off my bus at a further bus stop and have a longer distance to walk home. And I might star walking my dogs to get the mail and just go around the block to come back home. Kris is going to keep in shape without having PE this year. >.>

Felix · « **Reply #362 on:** November 17, 2009, 09:26:44 pm »

I finally started working on patterning my Organization XIII coat, which is pretty much the only thing I can work on at the moment. I ended up making a mock-up because it has so many weird seams.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #363 on:** November 18, 2009, 05:09:30 pm »

I am so glad I have seven or so yards of this fabric, because I'm going to need quite a bit of it for Sheryl's skirt. GOOD LORD WOMAN >:| WHY DOES YOUR BOW TRAIN REACH YOUR ANKLES.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #364 on:** November 19, 2009, 10:57:18 am »

Only three more weeks till I am able to work on my costumes again.

I am making a list of what I need to do

Kuja:
I want to redo the armor on the shoes so it looks better

Trance:
The other sleeve
the back skirt thing
thing around one leg
shoulder parts
collar

Secret:
Make money to buy it (its pretty cheap compared to my other costumes)
Get a wig.
Alter my sword to work for this one

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #365 on:** November 19, 2009, 12:45:34 pm »

I need to set up my new sewing center before I get to start on anything. I'm going to buy a table and some little plastic drawers this weekend.

Uhhh...I've dropped a lot of costumes for next year so I don't spend a crap ton of money. Not going to MEWcon anymore, only doing two new costumes for Sakuracon now (Unless I have the time to make PJ Bridget and Liesl), dropped Sabrina for AX and subbed in an easier costume.

Yeah.....I should probably cut more out.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #366 on:** November 19, 2009, 09:00:39 pm »

Well, I have giant bow of doom progress?

Oh Sheryl Nome, how you vex me so...

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #367 on:** November 19, 2009, 09:52:18 pm »

I saw that on you know where and was wondering what it was for. Looking amazinggggg~

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #368 on:** November 19, 2009, 11:13:39 pm »

8D the best part is that I have absolutely no idea as to how I'm going to mount this onto the skirt!

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #369 on:** November 21, 2009, 07:03:46 pm »

Sage for double-post.

I just put together the wire innard frame for this giant bow. I have a pretty good idea of how I'm putting it on the skirt.

The best part? It's put together basically exactly the same way as the butterfly for my Maria! 12 gauge wire, a couple wire clamps, tied with twine and then covered with hot glue! gonna be win once I finish.

Also, I really wish the Casa Collection had zippers. Really. You can't dye polyester zippers so I had to find one that matched perfectly and it wasn't the easiest thing I've ever done D:

Sugarlat · « **Reply #370 on:** November 22, 2009, 10:31:34 pm »

So apparently I only spent an hour on this Test meiko.
I made it out of extra blue fleece I had to test the pattern before I actually worked on the pleather XD
SO Here it is 8D It has gotta be the least amount of fabric I've worn for a cosplay ever XD
No zipper cause it's a test and yeah it's blue XD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #371 on:** November 23, 2009, 11:32:37 am »

I think it looks pretty good.

StarryShay · « **Reply #372 on:** November 23, 2009, 01:53:08 pm »

LolatMonica'slittleblueoutfit! x33
Very cute though! :'3

The only progress I've made for anything so far is saving up enough money to buy my Rima Mashiro wig~!
Yay. C:

oslapedo · « **Reply #373 on:** November 28, 2009, 09:08:58 pm »

So much progress this weekend! Took pictures of my Ryoko, Nayuki, Len's Banana, and Amane cosplay (in my coscom if you're interested, wink), got my dress and headphone supplies for magnet Meiko and yeah. Cosplayyy overload.

Woah Sugar, Meiko power b

I finished my Gardevoir Pattern, and now am about 50% done with the real thing! I'll update my signature and get pictures later

nyahaha · « **Reply #376 on:** November 29, 2009, 10:16:19 am »

my wigs still havent come, and I'm starting to get angry at them... and the miku wig I wanted hasn't restocked yet. I've decided to kick into sewing/progress action this week...i think. I really wanna finish Allen, start on Winry. I really need to narrow mmy cosplay list because I think i just added another.

soundninja12 · « **Reply #377 on:** November 29, 2009, 12:13:00 pm »

Got some glasses for May Lee... working on popping out the lenses >.>

Been looking at wigs for a few of my cosplays...
Found a good Shilo, Nico Robin, and May Lee. Still looking for a good Candace...

oslapedo · « **Reply #378 on:** November 29, 2009, 06:00:30 pm »

NAYUKI COSPLAY~

If only people knew what Kanon is

StarryShay · « **Reply #379 on:** November 29, 2009, 06:01:09 pm »

GOOD JOB BRO, I LIKE IT.

oslapedo · « **Reply #380 on:** November 29, 2009, 06:07:14 pm »

THX SON, I LIKE YOUR COSPLAY TOO

ER, YOUR HEAD AT LEAST

StarryShay · « **Reply #381 on:** November 29, 2009, 06:08:05 pm »

WOAH, THIS THREAD IS NO PLACE FOR MY HEAD YO.

oslapedo · « **Reply #382 on:** November 29, 2009, 06:10:39 pm »

CAN IT BE A PLACE FOR MY BLUE EYEBROWS?

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #383 on:** November 29, 2009, 06:14:34 pm »

One piece of boning down, six to go.

Corset, how you vex me.

oslapedo · « **Reply #384 on:** November 29, 2009, 06:16:00 pm »

Richie, how's your Bishop cosplay coming?

nyahaha · « **Reply #385 on:** November 30, 2009, 06:54:19 pm »

Yay! my wigs came! IMSOHAPPY!!! 8D

soundninja12 · « **Reply #386 on:** November 30, 2009, 06:57:26 pm »

I've gots me some Shilo fabric and an AMAZING pattern!
So perfect <3

And I've decided Tayuya would take great snow pictures, so I think I'm going to finish her before winter ends <3

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #387 on:** November 30, 2009, 08:59:51 pm »

I haven't even bought fabric for Bishop yet. I'm getting Sheryl and Tiedoll out of the way first, since Bishop's coat is pretty easy-seeming and won't need much beyond that and a nice pair of pants/shoes and a cane. Wig notwithstanding, of course. I'll order that when I get the wig for Tiedoll eventually.

Speaking of Sheryl, all the boning is into the corset and it's pretty finished beyond putting the fasteners on the front so I can tie it closed and getting the garter straps onto the front four boning channels (which I forgot to do, narg, when I was putting the channels in).

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #388 on:** December 04, 2009, 08:47:23 pm »

>:|

So I don't know if I like this gold pleather I have for Tiedoll.

Do you guys think it's too shiny for THIS?

Felix · « **Reply #389 on:** December 04, 2009, 09:00:19 pm »

I think it's too shiny. It's only the trim, but even for that it might be over the top.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #390 on:** December 04, 2009, 09:05:14 pm »

It's kinda got a funny texture to it, too. Like snakeskin. It's kinda cheapo for the price I had to pay for it, but Joanns doesn't carry gold pleather D:

eBay, maybe?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #391 on:** December 04, 2009, 09:23:34 pm »

it does seem a little too shinny....

Felix · « **Reply #392 on:** December 05, 2009, 12:09:34 am »

You might be able to paint it, if you got an ochre or even light brown. I've never worked with pleather before, so I don't know what would work.

Actually, it doesn't look shiny at all in the reference.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #393 on:** December 05, 2009, 12:18:36 am »

Yet it's not supposed to be yellow either. Since the regular Exorcist's uniforms are silver-based, the Generals are gold-based.

I was thinking about painting it, but at this point I'm thinking that just buying a yard of matte gold pleather off of eBay would be easier.

oslapedo · « **Reply #394 on:** December 05, 2009, 03:10:39 pm »

HOW DO I KEEP MY BOOBS UP IN A STRAPLESS DRESS? :O

soundninja12 · « **Reply #395 on:** December 05, 2009, 03:13:00 pm »

Erm, strapless bra?

oslapedo · « **Reply #396 on:** December 05, 2009, 03:16:22 pm »

I've never used one before, what if that falls too? WAH~

CloudStrife32 · « **Reply #397 on:** December 05, 2009, 03:17:21 pm »

What about a bra with see-through straps?

soundninja12 · « **Reply #398 on:** December 05, 2009, 03:21:55 pm »

If you get one the right size, it shouldn't.
Wore one for all of Kumoricon '08, never fell once.

oslapedo · « **Reply #399 on:** December 05, 2009, 03:29:20 pm »

What stores would you reccomend, Sounday?

I've also heard about gel things/tape, does anyone know if that stuff works at all? This(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z25/oslapedo/meikomagnet.jpg) is what I'm going for and this(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z25/oslapedo/IMAG0073.jpg) is what I've got to work with.
