YESSSSSSS.

Lol this skirt is so short and poofy, it's ridiculous looking. Now once I get my blazer back I can sew on the finishing touches and be done with everything but the wig!

That's really super cute! You're going to make an adorable Stocking~! <3

So I just scored a pair of black suit slacks at Goodwill for $5 that fit me perfectly and are perfect for Shizuo.

They still have the tags for $65 on them.

This is prolly more considered Dana's progress, then mine, because she sewed the outfit, BUT WOO, CHIE SATONAKA.

bunny_jean · « **Reply #1004 on:** March 21, 2011, 08:27:06 pm »

Just need some buttons and you're ready to go! Looks great!

My plan this week is use a bunch of the fabric I have around to make stuff to sell, then do a mock up of the corset for DWC Miku, and I have a 25% off your entire purchase coupon for Joann's so I'm going to get my fabric and other materials for Miku either Friday or Sunday I think. I got all the lace I'm going to use in the mail on Friday, but Cheeptrims sent me the wrong item for one of my items and I'm waiting to hear back from them. XP Thank god it's spring break. And over the next term I plan to:
-Dye lace
-Sew lots and lots and lots and lots of ruffles
-Sew everything together for Miku except legs... (need to talk to a friend to get help with them)
With that all done, I can mostly just focus on Cubone over the summer... Especially because I'll be taking summer classes for my master's program. This summer is going to be freakishly busy until Aug 10.

@Shay
Zomg! You look awesome!
Makes me excited to finish Naoto!

I sewed the wrist cuffs for Gakuen Date so now that costume is done. The only thing really left to do is trim my hair a bit more and dye it but I wont be doing that till the week of con

Very nice, I am going to start working on my Igor costume here soon. But my outlined plan of attack is as follows.

-acquire a bald cap and white hair extensions, gonna sew them onto the cap and this will be my wig of sorts.
-make some molds to create the nose. prosthetics are fun to make

-get some pointy ear tips and white contacts.
-make the eyebrows
-will need to get a tailored suit, but waiting til end of summer to get measured, working on losing weight right now.
-buy some white gloves
-going to be making a tarot deck as well for my prop ^_^

that should pretty much be everything to cover the costume, but if anyone else can think of something i overlooked, please let me know ^_^

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1008 on:** March 22, 2011, 11:38:31 am »

Signs are finished, but the speed sign is still tacky so I won't mess with it. Probably gonna mount them either this weekend or the next, depending on whether or not I go out of town with my mum.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #1009 on:** March 22, 2011, 01:50:20 pm »

Well, it's 8 days late. I sent a message to the sender, hoping that they'll have a reason for the delay. I theorize that it might be because I made a sizing correction, or possibly having something to do with the tsunami (though I doubt it).

Taku · « **Reply #1010 on:** March 22, 2011, 05:41:02 pm »

I made the first piece of my Igor costume today. Or rather my prop for it

Printed on both sides and laminated.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1011 on:** March 22, 2011, 05:45:47 pm »

Well done! Well done indeed.

I've got the main body of Shizuo's vest all cut out. Sewing will have to get involved pretty soon, as will some pattern editing and some fancy pocket-placing. I hate welt pockets, why does he have to have one?

I know! I won't be using it, I'll make it topical with no innards! Brilliant!

i'm trying to aim for a more yellowish/creamish tint to it <.<
and hopefully a pearl or an opal pendant

option 1: love them but i have to bid on them -.-"

option 2:looks a bit tan-ish but it looks cute BUT might NOT get here in time for Sakuracon
link

option 3: it is 2in x 1in but the color is amazing <3 (is it too big? or no?)

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1013 on:** March 22, 2011, 09:01:34 pm »

I think the first or the second one is good. The third one looks too big.

Painting my swords trying to get everything done enough by Thursday for a small photo shoot.

nyahaha · « **Reply #1014 on:** March 22, 2011, 09:11:16 pm »

Found the perfect shoes to make the Faun hooves with today!! I also found nearly perfect flats for Kiki too! They are white instead of orangy red though, so I'll just get some paint and paint them tomorrow.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1016 on:** March 23, 2011, 01:24:31 am »

It's almost half 1 in the morning and I've been sewing for like six hours now practically nonstop.

Shizuo's vest is like nearly done though :DDDDD

I like the first one.

luvan1me · « **Reply #1018 on:** March 23, 2011, 01:52:41 pm »

i like the first one too D: but it's going to take a while and it might end up much more than the one i picked here (i bought it last night :3)
~link~

it even comes with the black necklace

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1019 on:** March 23, 2011, 02:46:56 pm »

I must get my swords for Date done tonight. I am doing a photo shoot and I want to wear that costume tomorrow. I am going to alter one of the swords later so it is slightly different but I don't have time right now to get it done before tomorrow x.x

luvan1me · « **Reply #1020 on:** March 23, 2011, 03:08:11 pm »

oh noe D: you can do what i did and stay up ALL night XD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1021 on:** March 23, 2011, 03:15:40 pm »

I really need to get my sleep. I don't have much left on the swords and in order to alter one slightly I need to paint the hilt black and make a new guard. The guard wont take long but that is the part that will take the longest. Its mainly just waiting for things to dry x.x

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1022 on:** March 23, 2011, 03:18:16 pm »

Waiting for things to dry sucks.

Also, I've pricked my fingers so damn many times sewing this vest I think I know what diabetics feel like now. It hurts to tyyyyyyyyyyyyype DDDD:

luvan1me · « **Reply #1023 on:** March 23, 2011, 03:21:41 pm »

LOL it hurts -.-

@nikki: ah okay well hopefully you can get it done >.< i would keep it outside cuz it's pretty windy :3

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1024 on:** March 23, 2011, 06:06:46 pm »

Finished the vest! My belt isn't long enough to really be seen below my vest, but any longer and it would just be really silly :I

The sleeves of my dress shirt seem a little big. I might take those in so I don't look like I just got kicked out of a Ren faire. Other than that, Shizuo's almost done. I need shoes and my sunglasses (and to do a little trimming on the wig) and he's finished. Just gotta finish the sign after that.

I'm just posting this so the forum will track this thread for me. It's one of my favorite threads to watch

Unfortunately my funds are about %.10 what they were last year so my cosplay for Kumoricon will be sorely unimpressive. Oh well. I'll do my best.

But when I get money, oh, the plans.

Lt. Commander Richie, didn't you have a face, like, thirty seconds ago? Weird!

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1030 on:** March 24, 2011, 01:52:12 pm »

I've never had a face. It was stolen by The Wire.

olololololol I censored it because I also put it on other sites besides this one and they make fun of you for looking derp there.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1031 on:** March 24, 2011, 07:57:22 pm »

Dubaby · « **Reply #1034 on:** March 24, 2011, 10:49:14 pm »

So now that school is done, tomorrow will be my first day really being able to work on my costumes..... I'm going to work on my wig for Jacqueline, which is a little intimidating since I've never really done any serious wig styling before.

I'm taking the wig pictured (originally planned for my Marie Mjolnie cosplay that I never followed through with) and styling it into the high bun shown in the picture below. So that means 'hot water straightening' a wig for the first time, stubbing, and taking the extra hair I'm cutting off and gluing it around a styrofoam core to make the bun. Hopefully it all works out! I've got a bunch of tutorials to go off of so I'm feeling pretty good about it! =]

Back from a short holiday at Pacific City, now back to making my props.

Blender · « **Reply #1037 on:** March 25, 2011, 12:42:27 pm »

Alois: There really isn't much of him done. I have all of the small parts though. But this outfit is going to be a long and tedious task...

Heartless: Just need the feet hands and antenae and to put the eyes on.

Reno: I just need new goggles and some shoes and makes a few altercations.

Kayako: Got the wig just need to figure out what to do for the dress.

Rei: I have everything ordered and on it's way I just need to find some Geta and a mask.

oslapedo · « **Reply #1038 on:** March 25, 2011, 01:27:44 pm »

I am vey tempted to buy my base Scanty wig but I should probably save my money for Sakuracon cosplay and stuff right?

...right?

bunny_jean · « **Reply #1039 on:** March 25, 2011, 01:30:01 pm »

Went to Joann's today with my mom and got almost everything I'll need for Miku's dress! ^_^ I would take a picture of the giant pile of fabric, but my laptop is kind of dead at the moment (charger broke) and my bf's computer doesn't have an SD slot. :/ But I'm super excited!

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #1040 on:** March 25, 2011, 01:30:51 pm »

Okay, I'm thinking about calling eBay here pretty soon. I'm getting nothing in terms of my cosplay, and this is starting to piss me off.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1041 on:** March 25, 2011, 03:13:15 pm »

Who did you buy it from?

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #1042 on:** March 25, 2011, 03:59:10 pm »

I got it from an eBay dealer named haof2006. I have opened a case with eBay. They've told me that if I'm unable to settle things with the seller by April 1, then they'll take over or I'll get my money back. Meaning that this issue should be solved by the time I claim my pirate wife. I paid $92.90 for this thing, and that's not including the shipping costs!

nyahaha · « **Reply #1043 on:** March 25, 2011, 10:28:26 pm »

I made lots of progress today!

Kiki's shoes are all painted

And I got Miku's hooves paper mache'd. Hopefully tomorrow I can get to Bi-mart to get bondo. Napa was out today :/

And I drew Luki's sword out onto the wood. Dad's going to help me cut it tomorrow as long as he can find the jigsaw. Its going to be 50" long. I really hope it won't be too heavy for me to carry =A=

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #1044 on:** March 25, 2011, 11:16:07 pm »

Blender · « **Reply #1045 on:** March 25, 2011, 11:29:59 pm »

Wash, I looked at that ebay user that you mention, never buy from them again please! D: Their ratings are terrible. "Slow shipping, bad quality item, not as pictured" It's all just horrid and I'm scared for you.

luvan1me · « **Reply #1046 on:** March 26, 2011, 02:09:33 am »

so i got my aqua done

thanks to nekovamp13's beautiful mother

and herself <333

the only thing that really needs to be fixed is the boob strap in the back XD keeping my boobage from showing and the ribbon in the back, i gotta find a better material for it >.<

i'll post pics later :3

Long car rides in and out of town during Spring Break = good time to sew! I got my belts for Tsubaki nearly done, figured out what I need to do to make her shirt work, fixed one of her fuzzy arm things that was falling apart, and tried to figure out how I'm going to style her wig. Yay, progress! Maybe I won't have to sew on the train ride up to Sakuracon after all.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #1049 on:** March 26, 2011, 01:12:39 pm »

So, after opening a case through eBay, I got a message from the seller about 5 hours later. Since it was late last night, they said that they'd ship it out Monday morning, so I should get it before my wedding! Here's hoping...
