Plugging away at my Risai cosplay, which I'm still trying to get to a wearable, if not complete, state for AX. Presently sewing the frogs onto the white undershirt (that'll be my lunch break today, heh); I've got the teal shirt with me to dye tonight when I go to my parents' place and can abuse the washer (it's a pale blue-grey right now), and got the purple outer coat about half done. If all works out, I'll bring the teal coat with me tomorrow and sew its frogs on then (yay, work breaks XD ).
Objectives this weekend, with the housemates gone, are to finish the coat (cut and trim collar and front flap, finish inside seams, finish bottom hem, sew on buttons for clasp), make the obi-ish belt, make the white sash, make the white leg ties, and hem the off-white skirt-y thing.
That'll leave me, for Kumoricon, to mold and cast both the buttons and the belt fittings and assemble the brown leather belt, and replace the existing gold buttons on the coat with the proper cast ones. I might also try to remake the white undershirt, since I don't quite like how it's fitting, and make a pair of pants specific to the cosplay instead of just raiding my Faire ones. If I somehow had a miracle descend, I'd love to make bootcovers for her tooled boots, but I'll probably leave that for Sakuracon next year, if my plans work out.
And once I finish her, it's on to finishing Miranda and possibly starting on Kaya ...
