Gonne have to go shopping soon for a new Walter Butler cosplay from Hellsing. My old pants dont fit, my old white dress shirt isnt white anymore and my bleck vest has a nasty white pain stain on it. *sighs*

anyone know where I can get a nice pair or pinstripe slacks, a nice button up white shirt with high colar and a black butler vest?

ARGH THIS COSTUME.

It should be so easy, but it's not being easy. This is the second time I've not used a pattern and the first time I haven't had my mothers help on a non-pattern costume. The left sleeve is going to have to be ripped out and reattached, it looks gross right now.

I'm really just upset with the bunching at the moment. I decided a back panel was necessary to do the darts to stop that...and I mean it's a lot better then it was now. But it still looks bad to me 3: I'm guessing it's because I still don't have enough fabric to let it nicely drape over my ass...so I'm going to have to rip it out and start over I think. Any other suggestions?

I'm so frustrated right now.

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #1003 on:** May 29, 2010, 12:37:27 pm »

i think it looks pretty good considering no pattern was used.... but then againw eare our own worst critics

Felix · « **Reply #1004 on:** May 29, 2010, 04:15:30 pm »

Boogie: maybe let it out more along the back darts, from the waist to the bottom hem. As far as I can tell, the bunching is most likely caused by the fabric being too tight below the waist, causing it to ride up.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1005 on:** May 29, 2010, 04:52:16 pm »

>: | the spray paint on my bead strings doesn't want to dry. It's been sitting in the sun in the back yard for hours and it's still tacky.

I mad.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #1008 on:** May 30, 2010, 11:05:26 am »

Aaaaw yeah. Dana you got cracking on that really quick. It looks really great. But quite tedious. XD I'm sorry.

meep · « **Reply #1009 on:** May 30, 2010, 05:36:33 pm »

dawww dana I would of had fun doin that scarf :3

XD

Anyways Im working on a sniper rifle prop for my return to zero miku. I realized I didnt have hot glue sticks and ran around my apartment stressed trying to find some... X_X ended up totally making a mess and found it in the bottom of some random box.... MOM (makes rage face)

Im using a broom handle instead of a heavy plastic tube or metal rod for it. Cheaper and more lightweight. (srsly bought it at the dollar store) hmm its fun working on this prop :3

tofutakeout · « **Reply #1010 on:** May 30, 2010, 05:58:44 pm »

PICS WHEN YOUR DONE.

Bought a lot of stuff today at the fabric depot. Outdoor sale, I love you. So hard. <3

I still need a few more things but I mostly have everything I need to make the entirety of my costumes. I even found red shorts for Taokaka! :DDD

WAIT THEY STARTED THEIR OUTDOOR SALE? 8D
I dont really like Fabric Depot EXCEPT FOR THEIR OUTDOOR SALE XD
And yes I will take pics.. XD

tofutakeout · « **Reply #1012 on:** May 30, 2010, 06:04:16 pm »

I know right. I like to shop their because they have a wider selection on things and I get crazy awesome coupons. BD

But yes, it's been going on for like a month or so now.

I can't wait to see them. =3

oslapedo · « **Reply #1013 on:** May 30, 2010, 06:06:40 pm »

Woah, we passed Fabric Depot and the outdoor sale while we were lost!

We hit up Joann's since they're having a Memorial weekend sale and I got Yoko fabrics for the scarf, gloves, top, shorts, and bootcovers. Also, got the perfect base boots at Goodwill. Such a bargain-y day today, can't wait to start working on this stuff~

SO TIRED THOUGH :O

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1014 on:** May 30, 2010, 06:42:52 pm »

WORK WOMAN. YOU WILL BE ADORABLE WHEN YOU'RE DONE!

I've just found out that I may 1.) not have enough crazystiff interfacing to make the stand-up collar on Vaclav's cassock and 2.) have to make a whole brand spankin' new scarf.

Well, at least if I make a new scarf I can screenprint the crosses onto it :3

nyahaha · « **Reply #1015 on:** May 30, 2010, 07:15:34 pm »

wooo! I found a black pleated skirt at value village today that's PERFECT for Death the Girl. It's a little tight on my waist, but I plan on shaping up there this summer. ^^

nyahaha · « **Reply #1016 on:** May 30, 2010, 07:49:01 pm »

Felix · « **Reply #1018 on:** May 30, 2010, 08:21:19 pm »

^Including men? xD

I need to make patterns so I can start working on costumes as soon as I get home. (the only fabric stores here sell quilting fabric and nothing else. I have no need for patterned quilting fabrics.)

tofutakeout · « **Reply #1019 on:** May 30, 2010, 08:57:33 pm »

Man, teaching newbies how to sew is tough business. (I love you Kitty.)

So I plan on finishing the majority of Litchi's Panda hair clip for my friend tonight and than I'll get further with Luka and Tao.

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #1020 on:** May 31, 2010, 10:33:15 am »

i was looking up vocaloid stuff and went "eeeeeeeehhhhhhhhh i have the wig for luka but theres no way i can make it.... sad day"

but i made usagi's pink with yellow bow bathing suit so.... its all good

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1021 on:** May 31, 2010, 11:39:26 am »

Pffffft I remember that bathing suit :3

Gonna bake the neck bits for Vaclav once I get done cleaning my room, and then I'mma find some sandpaper and sand the epaulettes I made last night so I can paint them with everything else before the end of the day.

animeotakujoanne · « **Reply #1022 on:** May 31, 2010, 01:39:09 pm »

ugg, i need to start working on my cosplay soon. how much have i've got done so far? well. i've picked which cosplay i'm doing (Maybe...)

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1023 on:** May 31, 2010, 02:44:16 pm »

I need to get off the internet and do more beadwork.

Grrrrrrr, beadwork. So much fishtank tubing.

HOLY BALLS Shay, that's intense.

I've gotten so much done today. I feeeeel so proud. But I still have faar much to do. ;A;

Synchronicity Luka:

I still need the shoes, thigh highs, and I still have to put a lot together. But some of it's already assembled. And sorry for all the poor image quality. I only have a DSi at the moment. ;A;

Taokaka:
lol I have like nothing. BUT it's a start.
http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l103/tiasheng/used%20photos/30490_399739568903_690388903_401177.jpg

Aipom:
I had to dismantle the tail. And I need more purple.

LOLZ.
Yeah, I'm not making my wig that long. *o*
It's mostly painting on all of the pattern to the suit that I'm worried about. >o>

oslapedo · « **Reply #1028 on:** May 31, 2010, 06:39:15 pm »

Worry about pre-timeskip first!

Figuring out the logistics for Yoko boot covers right now.

@ tofu, EFF NICE PROGRESS. I'm especially excited for your Aipom! Normal type, yea, yea!

tofutakeout · « **Reply #1029 on:** May 31, 2010, 06:50:47 pm »

Boot covers man. Those things can be pretty tricky. :<

Thanks bro. :3 I'm excited for Aipom as well. I'm stealing every Ash hat I see. But I'll nicely return it by the end of the day. XD

soundninja12 · « **Reply #1030 on:** May 31, 2010, 07:20:25 pm »

Sooo... I've been convinced in to being Gumi yet again by my Gakupo -.-
BUT! Since I'm sharpie-ing her Nia wig, I get one free costume comission from her. She really wants to make my Carl... but I don't want to make my Gumi, so I think I might make her do that.
Maybe she'll make my Carl anyways and I'll just have to help her with some wig later on

oslapedo · « **Reply #1031 on:** May 31, 2010, 07:45:03 pm »

:O

If you sharpie a blond wig with blue it'll look green... Blue extensions in a blond wig work the best for Nia.

AND HAVE YOU REPLACED ME AND SHAY? /gasp

I want to start working on my boots but I can't find my measuring tape so I am quite distracted.~

soundninja12 · « **Reply #1032 on:** May 31, 2010, 08:05:00 pm »

Nuuu! I would never replace you! ILY!
My best friend and her boyfriend are obsessed with TTGL and wanted to do a couple's cosplay

lychee-twist · « **Reply #1033 on:** May 31, 2010, 08:13:45 pm »

Ok. So I'm doing two cosplay for Kumoricon:

Russia from Hetalia:
I made a scarf, have a wig, and bought some sunflowers and fabric. Boots have been chosen but not purchased.

Sailor Moon:
I'm casting another pendant and bought wig material as well as fabric.

...
Going strong... yeah.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1034 on:** May 31, 2010, 08:25:47 pm »

So far so good! Gotta touch up the beads around the spacers because I had to tape them off so some of the bead surfaces didn't get painted, but man this looks pretty good.

It's all just pinned on at the moment, gotta figure out how to attach things first :|

tofutakeout · « **Reply #1035 on:** May 31, 2010, 08:33:29 pm »

Whoa.

There is nothing else that I can say except feel the immense joy I'm feeling right now over that.

soundninja12 · « **Reply #1036 on:** May 31, 2010, 08:40:57 pm »

Richie, you are so amazing *3*

meep · « **Reply #1037 on:** June 02, 2010, 06:18:30 pm »

Almost done
Just finish up a few details then paint it

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1038 on:** June 02, 2010, 06:44:42 pm »

Gotta paint the left epaulet and make my rosary, and the chest/neck bling for Vaclav is all done!

FFFFFFFFFF this is gonna be such an uncomfortable costume with the cassock on over all this : | but that's okay! Probably gonna pattern the cassock tomorrow because I am le lazy and failed the first time so I need to rethink my strategy.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #1039 on:** June 04, 2010, 06:30:13 pm »

Painted some boots. I just need to turn under the top and seal them.

nyahaha · « **Reply #1040 on:** June 04, 2010, 09:23:31 pm »

oh wow! those look great!

lychee-twist · « **Reply #1041 on:** June 05, 2010, 11:35:37 pm »

More lame webcam stuff.

I mussed my wig's bangs a bit. First, an actual iron does NOT WORK ON KANEKALON. Whoops.
This is Russia so far. Russia the unintended platinum blonde.

Obey my sunflower!

lychee-twist · « **Reply #1042 on:** June 08, 2010, 11:55:02 pm »

Aaaaaggh! I killed this thread.

Some more updates! Bought a whole bunch of stuff including a pattern for Russia's jacket.
Made my fourth crisis compact, and made Russia's little ribbon thing that looks like the Latvian/Austrian flag with a star on top.

I hand made a faceted star! I'm so proud!

ALSO: new idea for cosplay!
Dress in old jeans that fit well through the rump but are loose through the leg. Wear a comfy old t-shirt like light grey in color. Dye your hair a muddy blonde and flip upside down on your bed. Spray paint your hair so it sticks up completely revealing a large forehead. Talk slowly. Finally... roll around in a kiddie pool filled with glitter.

TADA! Edward Cullen! Ready to go!

Soooo, the group is getting together soon and are going to be working on rehearsing out skit. (guess I'm still going. I'd feel terrible if I didn't.)

I found shoes for Luka! Their amazing man, and I can use them for steam con. <3333 and/or pirates.

And wig land has a really nice wig that will work for a few of my cosplays. Eeeeee!

I need to fix up Kaiba but that won't be too hard. And then I've planned out mostly how I will make all of my own and help with Quinci's cosplays.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1047 on:** June 11, 2010, 02:11:54 pm »

One edge down, five to go. Then all the grommets will be on the main body of the vestments and I still have to put sleeves in this and get the grommets in those D:

I don't even want to think about putting grommets in the cassock at the moment. That's another hundred or so that will not be fun.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #1048 on:** June 11, 2010, 04:37:36 pm »

Geez, how long did that take? o_o It looks really amazing.

lychee-twist · « **Reply #1049 on:** June 11, 2010, 11:51:57 pm »

I just stubbed my Sailor Moon wig and it's too small! I'm going to have to make some wefts or something to hide my hairline. I didn't like the bangs and wanted to modify them anyways, but it's still discouraging.

Luckily I have a LOT of hair to work with so hopefully I'll come up with something. If not, I'll just buy a new one. Two and a half months to go, after all.
