I've picked my cosplays, and I have the wigs, and hair dye. I started on my Renge costume, but it's really hard! (I have the fabric, and stared sewing, already pricked myself 6 times)

nikkiolie · « **Reply #252 on:** November 23, 2008, 04:52:04 pm »

Finish painting the gloves and make the belt is all I have to do....I may get started on another costume I'm thinking about doing >_>

Unproductive weekend has been terribly unproductive. Cleaning did happen, though, and craft desk has completed the transformation from paint table to sewing table. Christmas obi is mostly done -- needs eyelets up the back and I'll probably tack the obi-jime down onto it. If I can stay awake long enough, I'll tackle ironing the denim which may or may not work for my haori. Either way, I need to remember to buy more distilled water for my iron. Did get the haori pattern cut. That took entirely too long somehow. Also found clip-on earring bases for Kaya (can't wear pierced ones) and glued down cabochons onto them. Not sure what I'm going to make the dangles out of -- Wonderflex or Fun Foam, probably, as they are biiiiiig. Went fabric shopping, but declined to pay $8.95 for 45" solid-colour flannel. Stupid hometown and your overpriced fabric!

Where did my weekend go? D:

Sugarlat · « **Reply #254 on:** November 23, 2008, 08:50:59 pm »

Still nothing done.
I haven't worked on cosplays in such a long time I almost forgot how to sew o-o JK
But yeah, I have patterns for Akito/Agito jacket's cut out and ribbon and stuff but I haven't done anything but merrow them....
Uh....I haven't even thought about wigs.
I bought a white shirt that I can destroy for Rin cosplay but that's like...it....

myalchod · « **Reply #255 on:** December 01, 2008, 11:26:14 pm »

This is cleverly masquerading as progress. THIRTY FIVE YARDS of lace for Trinity Blood. Dyeing it was a pain in the behind, ironing it was even worse -- and I still have to make miles of bias tape out of the sateen that got dyed simultaneously. Not sure how much of it will get used, but it's always better to be safe than sorry. (Handsewing it on will take eons, though, so early is probably good. Now I just need to get that petticoat put together so I can start stabbing my fingers ...)

I also have ruffly hoops. This makes me happy.

xxxchihiroxxx · « **Reply #256 on:** December 02, 2008, 08:21:34 am »

starting work on my Shadow cosplay soon as the first one to really get serios about.... If anyone knows where I can get a body suite thats all black I would be seriosly greatfull.

Toxikon · « **Reply #257 on:** December 02, 2008, 12:56:31 pm »

I'm not sure where you can buy a black bodysuit, but here's a site that has free patterns for making a catsuit.

http://www.stretchy.org/

nikkiolie · « **Reply #258 on:** December 02, 2008, 02:02:50 pm »

then you can just paint the rest of your body that isn't covered up with black paint XD

Well I plan on working a little bit more on my Christmas Costume tonight. I'm going to get the shirt done but the other two things I'll do once I get back home after the term is over ^_^

xxxchihiroxxx · « **Reply #259 on:** December 02, 2008, 03:56:26 pm »

cat suit will probelly have to do :3 whats going to be really hard though is i'm going to make the fingers long like a shadows, and the feet, so it will be kinda hard to grasp things x.x

tofutakeout · « **Reply #260 on:** December 02, 2008, 05:05:30 pm »

*points to sig* numbers have definitely gone up. and not just because I actually sat down and counted down in percentage how much each piece of the costume was worth. XD thanksgiving break seriously got me fired up and started. but I need to lose more weight before I can do too much further. :/

nikkiolie · « **Reply #261 on:** December 02, 2008, 09:18:57 pm »

Alright I got the shirt for Christmas Albel all sewed up. Now I just need to add trim to it. I also know what boots I'm going to wear....they are a little girly (seeing how I am a girl and all XD ) but they will work perfectly for the costume (there is lots of fur on it, and the boots have fur too

)

Teasel · « **Reply #262 on:** December 02, 2008, 11:00:46 pm »

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I may be getting a part of my dream cosplay this weekend!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #263 on:** December 03, 2008, 07:56:47 am »

I'll be done with my Christmas Costume next weekend (seeing how it is the Christmas Party XD)

You'll just have to find a Sora or someone to hang out with to pick things up for you. XD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #265 on:** December 03, 2008, 01:09:07 pm »

yeah you just have to have a friend. It's hard for me to do things with the claw for Albel but I always have someone around to help me

oslapedo · « **Reply #266 on:** December 04, 2008, 11:11:18 pm »

Kyonko - Done
Amane - Done
Kallen - Wig ordered, Bella's commissioning the cosplay for me and I'm sending up the money on Saturday
Meiko - Dana's commissioning it for me and I should be getting the wig tomorrow

I feel like I'm progressing well through these

nikkiolie · « **Reply #267 on:** December 05, 2008, 09:26:58 am »

Still haven't gotten anything done. Need to finish up Christmas Albel (will do that before the 13th

) and need to finish regular Albel (will do that before Sakuracon

)

myalchod · « **Reply #268 on:** December 15, 2008, 02:02:36 pm »

My sister, upon seeing this photo, asks me if I'm making a wedding dress.

It feels like it sometimes. Too much white fabric. *dies* But I have almost all of the underpinnings for Kaya done, and a hemming minion lined up for the coming weekend, so I get to start on stuff that'll get seen now. Hurrah!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #269 on:** December 15, 2008, 02:57:12 pm »

The dress looks really good. Good job and keep up the hard work

I'm sure it will look fantastic when you are done

I finished my Christmas Albel. I'll post a picture a little bit latter. There is a full body one saved on my computer *is using dad's computer*

tofutakeout · « **Reply #270 on:** December 15, 2008, 07:50:26 pm »

well now since I'm going to s-con I have added on a few more cosplays. my progress is...staggering to say the least. and I can't work on them until after break when I have more time and I can start spending money again. and all my time is devoted to the holiday season as well. but I still get a few moments in for my costumes. ;3

soundninja12 · « **Reply #271 on:** December 15, 2008, 07:52:49 pm »

I need advice.
Should I hope my hair grows long enough, then dye it pink, or just bye a wig, and attempt to put in in believable pigtails?

tofutakeout · « **Reply #272 on:** December 15, 2008, 07:56:00 pm »

@soundninja
well how long is your hair now? and what color is it?

soundninja12 · « **Reply #273 on:** December 15, 2008, 07:57:06 pm »

my hairs blonde, and I just cut it to be near.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #274 on:** December 15, 2008, 08:02:31 pm »

oh. well I think it'll probably grow a bit by ku-con. enough to put it in pigtails at least. perhaps not the longest of long but it'll still work. but you can get a wig if you want. what ever seems easiest.

bucket_stalker · « **Reply #275 on:** December 15, 2008, 08:32:16 pm »

I finnaly got the heart for my Sasori torso out (It got stuck >.<)
And late on im gonna put in shoulder pad material so the metal doesnt rip up my shoulders. ;3;

nikkiolie · « **Reply #278 on:** December 16, 2008, 10:17:22 am »

After this ice melts I'll go out and get the material I need to finish the touch ups with Albel

Kuro_Chi · « **Reply #279 on:** December 21, 2008, 02:38:44 pm »

for kumoricon '09 i am going to be Itachi, Light, and Yuuki.

Itachi i need basically everything except for the headband. lol

Light i have the wig on its way and i have the death note. all i need is the outfit. and my friend is making black wings for light along with white wings for her L. :3

for Yuuki all i need is the wig, which is on its way. other than that i am set! ^w^

oh! and i have the dress i'm wearing to the masquerade as well! ^w^ i just need a mask. lol

tofutakeout · « **Reply #280 on:** December 21, 2008, 02:44:18 pm »

I need black pants, a blue dress, a blonde wig, a blue wig, ninja shoes, a green swimsuit, a pink wig, a blue forehead jewel, leg warmers, robotic headphone things(making those myself), a ring, a makeshift butterfly prop, lucia's jewelery, an orange obi wrap, wooden sandals, tons of other random things to make aigis' body, and a flat stomach. :/

Kuro_Chi · « **Reply #281 on:** December 21, 2008, 02:48:52 pm »

woooow thats a lot. lol. but there's still lots of time until the next con! ^_^

tofutakeout · « **Reply #282 on:** December 21, 2008, 02:50:31 pm »

@kuro
yeah there is time. and I have some people helping me out on somethings so it's okay I guess. just some of the things I'm extremely worried about.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #283 on:** December 21, 2008, 02:54:19 pm »

So the last couple of days I totally managed to procure the elusive thing known as 'progress' on Angeal. I've now got a SOLDIER belt and the suspender pads, and the straps will be done as soon as I get more brown thread.

myalchod · « **Reply #287 on:** December 21, 2008, 08:28:04 pm »

I have ten days in which to make myself the entire base of a Trinity Blood habit (skirt, dress, sleeves -- SCREW YOU, THORES -- 'bib', and wimple) with the bias binding stitched down (at least the machine work -- I know there's no way I'll get all the handstitching done), finish painting the boots, make the collar armour, hem my petticoat, and do up the rosary and earrings. I work six of those days for a minimum of eight hours.

I am so doomed. *cries*

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #288 on:** December 21, 2008, 08:44:28 pm »

Ohhhh...*hugs*I wish you tons of luck with getting it all done!!!

I'm working on my random Origami God costume. Got the hat done, and working on a fan. I need to figure out how I'm doing the kimono(s), and I'll need to make a sword...

Mom is giving me sewing lessons, SCORE!
Now I can get to work on Renge dress, or maybe I should start with my Fujiwara no said outfit... what do you guys think would be easier?

tofutakeout · « **Reply #291 on:** December 23, 2008, 04:22:16 pm »

I believe today I might start on all my cosplays today. But for some reason the universe doesn't want me to to use a sewing machine. every time I try to use one some sort of problem comes up so that I can't. :/ well thank god I'm good and fast at hand sewing.

well I've finished with my gifts so I have time now. lets start! >:3

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #294 on:** December 23, 2008, 10:55:00 pm »

I just learned how to Rouche.

Better yet, there's a setting on my sewing machine for it. S**t is SO cash.

Maria's bustier is being mocked up. After that I start on making my bridal slip ride a little higher on my hips. Once that's done I can start the upper part of her skirt. Once THAT'S done I'll probably goof off for no reason until a month before Sakuracon and then start screaming because I've just realized that I haven't finished the bottom of the skirt or the slip cover.

I have thread for Angeal. I haven't done anything with it yet.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #295 on:** December 27, 2008, 02:49:37 pm »

I finally have some progress to show.

I'm pretty proud of myself. This is the first thing I've made with 0% help from anyone. I even modified the pattern all by myself.

Cape is 99.9% done. I just need to tack the bottom of the hood to the very top of the cape part so I can hide my boo-boo's. Now it's time to start on the dress.

myalchod · « **Reply #296 on:** December 27, 2008, 02:55:17 pm »

THORES will be the death of me. Swear to ~~bling~~god.

Pattern drafted most of yesterday and part of this morning, with panicked sidelines for realising I don't have enough fabric for my blasted underskirt (okay for now) and thinking I didn't have enough twill (at eleven and a half yards and 60" wide?). I have plenty of twill.

Sewing the body of the habit now. It'll be the first thing I've ever really lined (the corset for this doesn't count). That'll be interesting .... If I can get the habit done today, though, I should be okay. I hope.

Who needs sleep, anyway? *zooms back to sewing*

I finished painting the gloves and shoes for Albel. All I need to do is re-cut armor for the shoes and it would be ready to wear again just in case I want to wear it to mew con
