What can I make?
« on: June 25, 2011, 02:04:30 pm »
I know all of us have random piles of fabric laying round with no current purpose.
I am trying to save money and use up these piles and I figured other people would enjoy this as well.

So! Post what fabric you have here and we can help each other figure out what to make with it! ^^


For me, I have about 3 yards (maybe more...?) of green fabric.
I don't remember the name but it's normal, no-stretch, and a very nice green. Think Sailor Jupiter's skirt. (which I might be making...but I want other ideas)

I have WAY TOO MUCH fabric to list....So I'll just give ideas ^^;

3 yards? You could probably make all the green accents on the Sailor outfit as well as the skirt!

That's what I meant. XP A Sailor Jupiter outfit.

You can do one pile at a time like I am?

I am scarred to go thru my fabric.

I have a lot.

Sad since my machine is still out of order.

But yeah I worked at a joannes for over a year, and a chunk of that was at a closing store, sooooo cheap.

you could also make a good portian of a high school of the dead cosplay or kagome from inuyahsa.

as for me i have 15 yards of a creamish white that has little polkadot imprints all over it, its kind of heavy (then again 15 yards is very heavy all the time unless its tulle) polka dots are about the size of a "." in size 72 font but only about half a shade lighter then the fabric if at all

Havoc - 15 yards?! How did that happen? XD
I wish I knew someone with that kind of design but I don't... :/




What would Lolita Link even entail? XD
I guess I could browse some DeviantArt.
I've never done lolita before but I do have a long blonde wig.

Off the top of my head I am not sure.  But one thing would be you know how some lolitas have the little hat?  Well that could be a little green link hat.

Really would need to look at a loli bible and seeing what would look good in green

Zenn - Yeah, I know. :/ Not exactly an idiot when it comes to Lolita but...Link is a dirty blond and since I don't have that kind of hair, I would just use normal blond. Unless his hair is going to magically turn red, black, pink, or orange.

I have three yards of lilac purple fabric I bought to line a kimono with. THe lilac color makes me look yellow. :/ Not sure what to do with it myself.

Gryff, why not try making yourself some clothes that you'd wear? That green color would probably be very flattering on you. It'd make a nice top to go with blue jeans or black jeans :)

Cosplay wise, uhh, I'll get back to you.

Like mermaid scales? If so, you can make a mermaid. XP
Maybe like a Dark Ariel (Ursula goes mermaid?).

Or a dragon...?
Shiny Charizard is black so you could make a gijinka of that.


I would need a picture of the 'scales'
