Why is it so hard to find white ribbon in this place?! -_- I'm tempted to just go to a party store and buy present white ribbon.

I got 17/20 of my bomb casings done. And then I ran out of foam OTL
I stayed up to like 7 am yesterday making them.
I put all my cosplay stuff in a pile on my laptop table and I'm going to attempt to clean my room -A-
I plan on cuttin out all of my fabric for the rest of my commissions and getting a shirt and a dress done and hopefully a jacket.
If I'm lucky I'll get a vest in XD
If I get all this finished today I can work on my cosplays tomorrow XD
ALSO I'm going to see the eye doctor tomorrow but I already put in an order form for my circle lenses...
Janie hasn't gotten back to me yet and hopefully if it's today I'll get them like a day or 2 before con -A-....
Hopefully I'll be used to contacts by then...

I live at the end of the world. There's like.. no ribbon here. ARGH! x_X I'm gonna have to stop by JoAnn's on my way out of town to get some. *grumbles*

Man, if I just got a few things done. I was going to buy a new wig today, but my boyfriend wanted to hang out. My priorities are a little zonked, I guess. Well, yes and no. Anywho, I still have about three yards to go to paint, then style the obi parts since I decided to go with two parts. The first would be the long part that would wrap around my waist, be tied off and act as the dangly parts of a bow. The second part would be a pre-styled bow that would be fixed in position.

Then I have to finish my other cosplay's backpack, which is turning out pretty well! It's just assembly and creating the lining, really. Not too bad. Just a little time consuming.I have to add a couple of details that I keep forgetting. When I finally remember, I had to undo some sewing and redo it. @_@

The mirror is a bit of a pain. I had it painted perfectly with the maroon and gold design. Then I tried to spray it with varnish to make it glossy. Turns out the varnish didn't dry on the gold parts. So I had to sand my mirror down again. For the forth time. Right after I had it where I wanted. Yeah. It got old real fast.

Even with most of today down the toilet, I still feel like I'm doing pretty well.

Kumi-chan · « **Reply #2460 on:** August 31, 2009, 07:25:50 pm »

Ha, five days left! I actually got stuff done this weekend, if only because I was locked in an apartment with four other girls and our sewing machines and only stopped to eat and sleep (just a little).

Ranma's shirt is all but done. Just have to make the frogs and sew them on, and probably put a panel along the opening. Still have to make the wristbands, but those take about half an hour.

Akane's sundress is about 70% done. Need to finish sewing the lining together, attach the pieces together, make the ruffle, and then add the snaps and buttons. And then make the sash. Would like to finish it tonight, at least construction. Snaps can be done at work.

Mousse...still not started, but I got the rest of the fabric today. Hoping to get it cut out tonight if I finish enough of the sundress. There's some applique on the chest I know will take some time.

Hitomi...jacket needs to be pieced. And the collar cut out. Not sure I'll do full version after all, since I can get by with just the skirt and blouse. Hinges on how much of the Ranma 1/2 group gets done.

I'd still like to make a skirt for Kasumi and a shirt for Nabiki and the vest for Ran, but it's debatable right now. Hat for Juliet version of Akane should be made, though, and we need masks for the Ball. Might have to buy some pre-decorated or get simpler versions.

nyahaha · « **Reply #2461 on:** August 31, 2009, 07:38:39 pm »

Alright, so this is what I have left.

Rhyme -Fix pockets that were basted by accident...

Mikuo- Fix the sleeve holes, and make sure the wig is good.

Soul - Fix wig spikes in the back.

Rumia - Find white knee high socks

Satoko - sew the sleeves onto the dress, get some black tights, and find my headband

Red XIII- take the ears off the head band and sew them onto the wig, put new earings in the ears, glue insides to bracelets so they fit better, and sew a button onto my pouch.

Then I need to hot glue Rachel's headset, wash some cosplay, and pack.

Chaotic.Fox · « **Reply #2462 on:** August 31, 2009, 07:41:02 pm »

Odds are tomarrow I'm gonna get started on my costume, luckly, its all pretty easy stuff :3 Since I have like 4 t-shirts, and the hardest part is the hood for ashitaka, and even that wont take to long...

DooFeRthePanda · « **Reply #2463 on:** August 31, 2009, 08:02:57 pm »

im' gonna alter my ryofu jacket 2night so it can be finished since the holes are too far off lol

veraca · « **Reply #2464 on:** August 31, 2009, 08:08:56 pm »

@.@ So my plans keep flying everywhere. It's officially in place though that I'll only be wearing Christmas Roxas on Sunday for a short time.

In terms of progress I can't finish Soul's wig properly BLEH It looks pretty good though.

And I have to buy the roses & the ribbon on wednesday on my way to Portland. Jooooy.

The_Geek · « **Reply #2465 on:** August 31, 2009, 09:58:42 pm »

Daisya's boots are finished!!!!
Now for the bell.... And of course my stantler coveralls.
Still, the worst is out of the way!

DooFeRthePanda · « **Reply #2466 on:** August 31, 2009, 10:16:46 pm »

i officially dont like my ryofu jacket so i'm gonna lenthing it by four inches i dont care if it has one extrabutton and it has an extra seem line it will look great from a distance and close up as long as you just dont stare atthe extra seem line and i think an extra button wont hurt the whole cosplay. it looks horrid without the four inches T___T

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #2467 on:** August 31, 2009, 10:26:09 pm »

Done with fixing Victreeble, styled my wig for White Mage and Miria as well.

Costumes done: 4/9

lfkqjadsfh. Making traditional-looking lucky charms out of old broadcloth, paper and hot glue is not as easy as one might think. And my reference was at a silly angle, so my kanji looks all messed up too. Hopefully nobody will look too closely when I whip it out for pictures.

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #2469 on:** August 31, 2009, 10:30:51 pm »

8D Dad finished cutting out the staff tonight! It looks so good I'm so happy

Tomorrow after I get home from the eye doctors I'm going to prime it

nikkiolie · « **Reply #2470 on:** August 31, 2009, 11:00:31 pm »

I started working on a cosplay I am going to do for next year. I am actually gained a lot of progress on it already, it wont take long for me to do at all. I just need a bit more money to get the rest of the supplies I need. For the time being I am not going to say what it is because I am not sure if I will be able to get it done or not. Though I do fully plan on doing it.

And I will say this much, if done right, this costume will be freaking amazing!

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #2471 on:** August 31, 2009, 11:04:50 pm »

can't wait to see it nikki

nyahaha · « **Reply #2472 on:** August 31, 2009, 11:07:48 pm »

I finished Satoko's sleeves, fixed up Rhyme, fixed up the sleeves on Mikuo, and started Red XIII's wig. My mom just got me tights, eyeliner, and mop n glow. Now Satoko, Mikuo, and Rhyme are done, and I can seal up the paint on Rachel's headset.

DooFeRthePanda · « **Reply #2473 on:** August 31, 2009, 11:41:23 pm »

ok so i fnished my ryofu jacket not as bad as i thought but it will do. not really the best but hey it will work so hopefully you'll like it when you guys get to see it!

DooFeRthePanda · « **Reply #2475 on:** August 31, 2009, 11:55:07 pm »

wow it looks so nice ^__^ gleeniss i want to make one now cuz i plan on doing yuna one year too.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #2476 on:** August 31, 2009, 11:58:51 pm »

And I found one reason why I haven't told people about this yet....it isn't easy to get in and out of and when I did take it off it kinda fell apart. I will work on making it a little better but that isn't a concern of mine right now.

nyahaha · « **Reply #2477 on:** September 01, 2009, 12:45:02 am »

Red XIII's wig just needs one more hair tie, then it's done. I still need to put the earings in the ears, but I can't find them in my messy room at the moment, so I'll do that later. I fixed the spikes on Soul's wig, and fixed the buttons so they stay together better. Not much left to do now....

lychee-twist · « **Reply #2478 on:** September 01, 2009, 07:50:47 am »

Good news, everyone! I don't think I'll have to paint all my fabric for my obi! This cuts out a considerable amount of time. I'll need maybe 2-3 more feet to get the bow and then I can sew it all! This also means I'll have about 6 feet of rust colored twill lying around. Boy, THAT'S useful.

I've almost completed my backpack, too! I had to stop since the folks went to bed, but it's really looking like a backpack. I think the black bottom of it is going to match together on all the different parts as well. Very cool!

Luna, I meant to say this a while ago, but your cosplay looks great! Awesome for a first timer!

soundninja12 · « **Reply #2479 on:** September 01, 2009, 07:53:50 am »

WOOT!
I have sewn the sleeves, and each half of the Kimono, I now just have to sew them together, and make the band around the waist.

Sutie · « **Reply #2480 on:** September 01, 2009, 10:19:48 am »

Yay!!!! Almost done!!!! only five more things to do!
5!

Chaotic.Fox · « **Reply #2481 on:** September 01, 2009, 10:24:06 am »

I'm gonna start my costume today, and I should be done by thurdsay...

Kawaii Punkd · « **Reply #2482 on:** September 01, 2009, 10:32:26 am »

my clothes for Shy girl are dyed!

The skirt came out so cute!

I'll take pics later when they're dryed.

nyahaha · « **Reply #2483 on:** September 01, 2009, 11:22:01 am »

Finished the wig last night...here are some pics...

here are the bead things

I don't look like me at all O.o

soundninja12 · « **Reply #2484 on:** September 01, 2009, 12:33:01 pm »

Looks great!
My Kimono is close to being fin, but my wig still isn't here. It's making me mad!

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #2485 on:** September 01, 2009, 01:09:39 pm »

I'm so happy, my wig came today! It's beautiful like you wouldn't even believe! But none of you get to see it until I get to the con because that's the point of a secret costume. I also got brand new sunglasses for the outfit and a pair of shorts.

But slaggit D: there were no strapless bras in my size at Walmart. Curse you, large breasticles. Curse youuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Still. I'm also getting paid for my work on my mom's dress Thursday, and expecting $200 for it. Spending money mwahahaha~

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #2486 on:** September 01, 2009, 01:33:56 pm »

I'm priming the staff right now, I need to sand and prime the rod itself but it's looking good. I'm cutting it real close this year xD

soundninja12 · « **Reply #2487 on:** September 01, 2009, 01:35:42 pm »

I had to read that twice, i thought you were priming the Kumo staff, I was all O.e

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #2488 on:** September 01, 2009, 01:37:47 pm »

xD

lucky for me though primer dries fast as well as my paint

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #2489 on:** September 01, 2009, 01:38:28 pm »

Still have sewing to do...But thankfully, it's not much and should only take an hour or so ^^
And I need to buy feathers to fix my wings...

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #2490 on:** September 01, 2009, 01:39:28 pm »

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #2491 on:** September 01, 2009, 01:50:23 pm »

D: that really sucks!!!!
I've broken my mom's 2 sewing machines, and now I have my own V.V
although technically all we have to do is switch the needles

Chaotic.Fox · « **Reply #2495 on:** September 01, 2009, 03:11:06 pm »

My mom's burnt out or something she needs to have someone do what ever you do when that happens...

alright larxene is officially finished now. I just got back from getting my hair done and all my costumes are ready to go

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #2497 on:** September 01, 2009, 04:12:22 pm »

I forgot to post, but I'm done with Spy! I got an awesome pair of long gloves and a blue scarf. I feel like such a mankiller when I wear it

All I need is a prop for Engie, and I'll make due with something.

Kagome219 · « **Reply #2498 on:** September 01, 2009, 04:46:15 pm »

All I need to do is get my Espeon ears a headband and stick a safety pin through the tail and shorts and I will be done~

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #2499 on:** September 01, 2009, 05:37:08 pm »

Well I'm almost done with my walk cycle for animation, but I'm probably not going to get to work on any costumes tonight. BOOOOOO, we will see what happens though.

WHAT I HAVE LEFT TO DO THOUGH:
Sandshrew- Put fabric on the ears and glue to hoodie
Jacuzzi- Make the whole vest and waist sash
Miria + Issac- Make candy bars
Bridget- Bleach hair
White Mage- Finish spraypainting bracelet, make triangles for socks and attach them
