Baw. Working on Cassandra and things are getting difficult! The shirt should be fine. I'm just modifying the top have of a dress. But the skirt...it has pleats but is full and nice. So I'm having to combine a fullish skirt from a Halloween costume patter with a child's cheerleader patter for the piece. The pleats are too big though so I have to use that pattern to create smaller pleats and not only that but I have to draw out a new pattern incorporating smaller pleats onto the curved pattern. Too much work! I know what I'm going to be doing all day tomorrow >:

Thanks for the braid help though. I'll be getting working on that as soon as I get home to my wigs. It doesn't sound too hard which is nice for me. I'm getting sad spending all my time with cosplay and not so much with other hobbies.

Alright I ordered the dress for Misa and tomorrow I will go buy some of the materials to finish up Albel and I should be good ^_^

Did my first silicone RTV mold up today. **** is awesome. Bye bye latex moldmaking -- you can go rot. Haven't tried to cast with it just yet, as I want to let it sit for a few more days, but -- squee.

Took armour off one of my nunboots in preparation for repairs. Repainted today, and tomorrow I'll see about sticking the heel armour back on and fixing the lower part with epoxy putty. If that doesn't work, I'll have to do a full reconstruction.

I should really start working on Sakcon projects instead of Fanime ones, though.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #353 on:** January 10, 2009, 11:15:28 pm »

might be a good idea. It sounds like you got quite a bit done though ^_^

oslapedo · « **Reply #354 on:** January 10, 2009, 11:21:25 pm »

asdfghjkl

I need money to order my Kallen dress!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #355 on:** January 10, 2009, 11:22:29 pm »

take cans in. I'm doing that tomorrow. I should get close to $30 for it.....probably between $20 and $30

oslapedo · « **Reply #356 on:** January 10, 2009, 11:29:04 pm »

I'll poke around for cans and I'll try and sell things to my friends on Monday xD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #357 on:** January 10, 2009, 11:31:01 pm »

it might also be a good idea to sell some food to your friends

Me and my kids are still undecited on what we are cosplaying as.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #359 on:** January 12, 2009, 08:15:22 am »

weren't one of your girls going to try the mascot?

I did manage to get some work done on Albel yesterday. I worked a little bit on the belt and I got ALL the material I will need to finish it up. Now I just need to start. I plan on having the belt done by this week and starting on the gloves

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #360 on:** January 12, 2009, 08:47:20 am »

Failing hard lately. Ordered the wrong colored wig for White Mage, boots I ordered aren't what I thought they were and I failed on my first Cassandra skirt.

Cosworx said they'd exchange the wig for the right color but I'm not sure if they'll refund my boots. If not anyone wanna buy a size 10 pair of white vinyl knee-high go go boots?

Cassandra skirt was fail from the start. I've been altering a child's cheerleader outfit to fit my adult body. Not a good idea. I added too much on it and it looks like a short moo moo. Oh well. Found an adult cheerleader pattern for 99 cents. I have the top almost done, hopefully I can get the skirt going today!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #361 on:** January 12, 2009, 11:05:39 am »

thats too bad that you are having so many issues. At least they are taking the wig back. I would buy the boots but I have tiny feet so they wouldn't fit =/

Yes, but I'm not sure what other cosplay she will be doing. We are trying to cosplay from one anime for the family.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #363 on:** January 12, 2009, 03:41:27 pm »

I see, that would be so cute. Sadly I don't really have any ideas. =/

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #364 on:** January 12, 2009, 04:05:34 pm »

I'm taking a break from everything. Seeeing as finals are coming up next week, doing anything is just too much right now.

That'd be super cool! I'll help you brainstorm >=D

What age ranges are your kids?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #366 on:** January 12, 2009, 06:13:12 pm »

I think I am going to work a little more on Albel tonight. I will try to get the skirt completely finished. It wont take too long. An hour or so

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #367 on:** January 12, 2009, 06:17:12 pm »

TONIGHT!!!! OR TOMORROW NIGHT!!! I SHALL WATCH THE SEWING VIDEO!!! And then I can finally start makin' cosplays. woot! >:3

nikkiolie · « **Reply #368 on:** January 12, 2009, 06:19:02 pm »

there are videos? Is it online? I should watch it if it is before I start on my gloves >_>

I'm really nervous about making though

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #369 on:** January 12, 2009, 06:20:30 pm »

Probably. You can find practically anything on youtube. xD Even how to fold a shirt perfectly and really quick with this weird chinese technique. xDDD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #373 on:** January 12, 2009, 06:32:23 pm »

I am starting right now, my glue gun is warming up and I will be off to finish up part of my costume

I'll check youtube a little bit later

Toxikon · « **Reply #374 on:** January 14, 2009, 12:41:03 pm »

Nikki, if you need help sewing the gloves, I can help. It's the least I could do since you're letting me borrow the pattern once you're done.

Perhaps we could work on them the weekend after this one?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #375 on:** January 14, 2009, 03:32:59 pm »

I am going home every weekend. I have to work. Plus I plan on finishing them this weekend while I am at home. We'll see how that goes

Sugarlat · « **Reply #376 on:** January 14, 2009, 05:03:52 pm »

My son will be 6 during the con and my girls will be 8 and 10. Here is a pic from K-con 08.

Ooh! OOOOOOOH! You could be Gast, your wife could be Ifalna, your oldest could be Tifa, your little one that was Yotsuba could be Aerith and your son could be Cloud! Final Fantasy VII epicness!

Sorry. Sudden spaz of ideas brought on by an ice cream party.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #381 on:** January 15, 2009, 04:03:39 pm »

@ Higuma- Your kids would be adorable as the fairies from A Little Snow Fairy Sugar. I've only seen pictures of it though and haven't bothered to watch it so I don't know the other character besides those three little guys.

As for progress I'm procrastinating on my homework by cutting my Cassandra wig. I'm done straightening it and waiting for it to dry. I'm worried about screwing it up though from cutting it. Oh well, I need to practice!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #382 on:** January 15, 2009, 06:01:34 pm »

:3 YAY!

I got the belt for Albel done and I'll take pictures soon. I am going to remake the shirt tonight and finish up the armor on the shoes (also tonight) so that the only thing left is to make the glove

Alright for some picture.

http://princess-peach.net/official%20art/2k/SSBM%20-%20Peach%2001.jpg

i know i got a darker one but i just decided i wanted it to be a bit diffrent. i think it will still look pretty good for her

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #399 on:** January 19, 2009, 09:07:39 pm »

Switched up costumes and worked on my boyfriends Black Mage cloak. I've gotta make the collar, sew it down, and edge stitch the whole thing again. Oh and make the things so it will tie together. He ended up choosing a really heavy material for it because it was the perfect color so I'm hoping that it will look nice on him.

Here's to finishing it tonight! Hopefully...
