Waraji and Tabi socks for my Rukia cosplay came in the mail today, along with my Yuki Nagato outfit. Only thing left on Yuki is to style those bangs! Will be premiering Yuki this weekend at ChibiChibicon hopefully. Hoping to take some practice pictures this week with the costume before this weekend. :3 Very Excited~

Having a sewing machine, is so helpful. And it only cost $19.97. xD
But thanks to the sewing machine, I've been able to sew the skirt for Sam's Midna and the start of Amber's Postman toga.

woot chibichibicon makes costume tests perfect XD it's so small! I might wear my Roxas wig to it to make sure all the spikes are cemented in place... Though I might wear Richea instead @.@ Depends on what I feel like doing

Started work on Richea's crown. Drew a paper draft, cut the paper draft, modified it, cut it again and then taped it to a cereal box and cut the heck out of it. Then taped it to a plastic bag over the wig and then applied the 3D paint. It won't be green as the final run- this is just the only color of 3D paint I happen to have.

Put some more applique on the train. :3 Here's pics~ I'm still afraid there's too much applique on it. What do you guys think? >_<

veraca · « **Reply #804 on:** February 27, 2012, 10:40:05 pm »

@bunny- should the colors be in sections? it looks like all the blue are on the right, all the red are on the left and all the black are on the train o.o You could space it out and make it more even. I like the locations and positions overall

And will you put one or some small ones under the chains on the front?

I really don't think it's too much. My eye just caught this time around now that there's black on it, that the colors are on certain parts/sections.

I was putting them in sections on purpose, yes. XD In my reference picture where she has the color on her the blue is mostly on that one side, and the red on the other side, but I wanted to make it more cohesive by having the blue and red kind of blend into the black. I wasn't planning on putting any under the beading, just because I thought that would be too much.

But yeah, the black is just on the train. Do you think I should replace the black with more red and blue instead?

I like it how you have it. Defiantly makes your eye look at everything!

So, I ripped all the hot glued parts that were on my Gaara coat today and started working on getting the glue off. I'm planning on redoing it and actually sewing it this time to make it look better ^^

Also, my Rarity wig came today, yays! I need to make my ears and horn for that.

As well, I need to go to JoAnne's to get more stuff so I can continue working on my Cheshire. Though I did find headphones that are perfect and will replace the ones I attempted (and failed) making.

I sadly wont be able to do much this week with dress rehearsals and opening night...But the weekend and beginning of next week I will accomplish stuffs!

I ordered some socks for the Pinkie Pie cosplay I really wanna do.

awww cute furret XD

I painted the last layer of silver on Ciel's cane, duct taped the boning on the hoop skirt and have been working on Richea's crown all day.

I think you could take the inner shirt some so it isn't that loose and falls on your chest ?

Finished Richea's crown and it's sewn in. And I have more super glue on my fingers. I wish nail polish remover actually got the gunk off.

That is something I'm currently trying to figure out how to do that, so far my attempts have all ended up with it falling. I think I may just need to use a different material that is stiffer.

Is it just a piece of fabric, or an undershirt? What kind of fabric is it now? I think it should just be a smaller piece of fabric...

Chek · « **Reply #817 on:** February 28, 2012, 10:15:12 pm »

I've started gathering supplies and working on very silly looking schematics, and I've run a few "can I actually make this look right?" tests on a small scale with clay.

Progress!

(Silly schematics)

it is just a peice of fabric and its sort of a t-shirt material. I think making an actual top underneath might be more beneficial.

I think so. You could run some plastic boning through the trim at the top or a wire. Wire might work better in the long run.... You could also make it a tad smaller and sew on a few pieces of interfacing to make it sturdy

I think so too, otherwise if you just stick with the one piece of fabric, I'd change to a non-stretch material .

This is gonna be my motivation post/list of stuff that I need to get done

For my Vaporeon...
I need to finish the collar and sleeves on my kimono and it is done.
The obi I have just begun, but I need to make the obi sash itself and then the tail.
The umbrella and fan I have ordered, should get here in 10 days, and then I need to paint them.
I still need to make the under kimono, and maybe sew some purse-thing into the sleeves.
I need to sew the ears and attach them to the headband.
I need to decide on make-up and earrings to go with the outfit, along with hair stuff.
Need to get some Geta or just make do with my ordinary sandals.

For Jill:
A lot, very much won't be ready for sakuracon I think.

over all I think I'm doing pretty good, considering last year for Sakrua I did my whole kimono and stuff in the 3 days before the con. XD

Tanuki19 · « **Reply #822 on:** March 01, 2012, 10:30:23 pm »

I got the socks that I originally ordered for Pinkie Pie in the mail today but they don't really fit my new design so I'm going to have to send them back. And I'll get to go shopping for possible Pinkie Pie clothes tomorrow. Also, my mom found some fuzzy curly bright pink fabric in her closet and she though I could use it for Pinkie Pie but I have no idea how XDDDD

veraca · « **Reply #823 on:** March 01, 2012, 10:57:12 pm »

Fuzzy curly fabric? Would it work as some sort of addition to the wig perhaps, or something for a tail?

Tanuki19 · « **Reply #824 on:** March 01, 2012, 11:48:29 pm »

I was thinking about maybe making a tail with it but I dunno. I'll figure something out. XD

You can get fabric with rosettes sewn all over it at Fabric Depot, I dunno if they'd have the right color you want, but we used those for a squid costume at the costume shop I work at and they looked fab, and were super easy to cut out and sew on.

EmAino · « **Reply #827 on:** March 03, 2012, 12:53:56 pm »

Got my wigs for Tenten and Sailor Uranus in the mail today.

Now, as soon as this paycheck comes in, to order wig heads so I can style them. LOL. Also going to order the shoes.

That sounds like a great idea. I don't think we have a fabric depot around here though. I bet that costume looked awesome though.

Went to Michael's today and got ribbon for PB's laces. Now all I need for her is a pair of white kneesocks. I also got stuff for friends' costumes I'm helping them with - things to make a John Egbert shirt and a headband with a star for LSP. I'll hopefully get to all that tonight.

The other day I got clay, liquid latex in clear and in blue, and some fabric. I am on my way to starting Darc. I order some clay pattern mats that I am going to use to get my scales and I have my horns drying in front of me. The skirt is cut out and ready to be sewn the I need to do the red parts. I may have Darc done for Fanime x.x

Has anyone ever tried to cut the rim off of one of those woven pointy hats that you see in all the asian movies that the folks working the rice paddy fields wear? The hat that I have needs to have the rim cut back and I'm afraid that it will unravel and be unusable. I was thinking I can put resin on it, then cut it, then resin it some more. What y'all think?

Thanks.

Chibachi Nero · « **Reply #838 on:** March 04, 2012, 09:45:08 pm »

Finished the laces for PB, plus I painted a John Egbert shirt for a friend and am almost done with an LSP wig/headband for another friend. I was surprisingly productive today.

Yeah I was thinking something similar. not sure what I should use: Parafin, mod podge, resin to hold it together while I cut.

The whole thing is gonna get resined when it's the correct shape.

Hopefully I'll get this one. The first wig I ever bought never made it. I honestly think it was lost in the mail and that the person didn't rip me off it was just frustrating.

Started mod podging my straw hat so I can cut it to shape without unraveling it.

Just got a bunch of stuff to continue working on everything.

Just pinned everything on my Gaara coat so I'm ready to sew and finish that. And I'll be finishing my gears for my Steampunk jacket soon.

Finished sewing the fur onto my jacket I have for the Masked Man.
Now Im working on the helmet and I all have to do for that is paint it.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #847 on:** March 06, 2012, 06:28:41 pm »

I got one of my shoulder spikes and one of my elbow spikes done for Darc. The bigger one will go on my shoulder. They are made out of latex and stuffed with batting to help hold the shape.

I also have my horns made and will start putting latex on them soon. I put a little bit of foam on my glove to make it look a little bigger and I will start putting the blue latex on that soon too. I am also waiting for my scale clay mat so I can start the scales. My ears are almost done as well. I just took the ears I got for Saix and added a small spike down at the bottom pointed down to the ground. And of course it all needs to be painted but I am waiting for a friend to get an airbrush.

I bought the fabric for his skirt/wrap thing and it just needs to be sewn then I need to dye the red parts.
