@ fleur_fraise : Well it's not the best image of your full outfit, I agree ^^; But it does look great! I applaud you for doing it all by hand *clap clap*

I only sewed the hairpiece my hand. Sorry if I made it unclear D:

I now have a wearable robe that's missing some applique and it's collar and border. Crazy. Now if I can only fix my wig.

Also, if my wig fixing thing works, I'll post the Yahoo! Answers page I found with the instructions. I don't know if it'll work just yet >.>

In the secret cosplay category, I got the vest nearly done. It should be by tonight. Then its just making the backpack and buying jeans.

nyahaha · « **Reply #1616 on:** August 12, 2009, 07:41:11 pm »

the place I ordered my buttons from wont make my Twewy player buttons, because of copyright issues...so I don't think I'll have one this year.

lol okay so I'm changing the version of my meg last minute. but I'm fine with that. I like this version better. :3 it's never been done either. ^_^ And I it seems pretty easy to pull together quickly.

princessmoon · « **Reply #1628 on:** August 12, 2009, 10:15:50 pm »

Oh man......I made my costume too big...it's not suppose to look so...loose and grrrr... -_-* My sewing skillls are GRRRREAAAT! Now I gotta back-up and fix things~

*sigh... I'm not giving up yet!!!

pencil · « **Reply #1629 on:** August 12, 2009, 10:20:51 pm »

I haven't posted for awhile, but I've been working!
I worked more on the cosmo dragoon

Started painting Outset island link:

And on Monday I decided to do a "secret cosplay" which is really only secret from my friend who is cosplaying Klan Klein (and is a huge Macross fan). I chose Alto because I already had the wig, and the academy outfit is pretty simple. I really want to cosplay Sheryl, but I'm putting that off until Aki-con XD

The tie is pretty wonky, but I'll fix it (and hey I made it myself 8D My first time making a tie! wooo~ And I made it too short at first)

Only bad part is having to embroider the Academy crest

Boooo, I hate embroidering, haha. I also forgot to buy the black and white embroidery floss. It looks okay from far away, just not close up XD

Keep up the good work everyone!

Those are looking great. Love the offset Link and Alto.

@Man of the Public - Thanks! I see in your sig that you are cosplaying Dean Venture, this makes me very happy 8D

@DooFer- Good luck! haha, Its a pain D:

mangakaluna · « **Reply #1633 on:** August 12, 2009, 10:51:28 pm »

jkghjakfdjkjgklaj =A= Sewing set back a bit...sewed part of the neck on backwards. *SIIIIGH*

HAY DORO, LOOKIN GOOD

Man of the Public · « **Reply #1634 on:** August 12, 2009, 10:58:03 pm »

@ Pencil
Yep. Dean was the first cosplay I finished this year, mostly because I just had to buy the sweater vest. My brother is coming as Hank.
And yes we can Mecha-Shiva.

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #1635 on:** August 12, 2009, 11:25:27 pm »

@Man of the Public - Oh god, oh god, oh god. Mecha-Shiva, I NEED TO GET PHOTOS. That is absolutely amazing, haha.

Kawaii Punkd · « **Reply #1637 on:** August 13, 2009, 09:05:36 am »

I need to also capture Mecha Shiva, but with the awesomeness of a video recorder~ (I found one for 150 that I might get, cause it's waterproof, but then the replacement battery for my camera is only 6-10 online)

Let's hope my sewing machine doesn't hate me still, and will let me finish Kumori-chan before Saturday~

(Sailor Mars should be coming tomorrow or Saturday too~ I might just cosplay her on Sunday, if she comes on the mail on Saturday :3)

Still working on commissions. My sewing machine is being moved from the shop into my room today so lots of work to be done.
My Gokudera wig was just emailed to me that it was shipped and should be here between 10-28 days OTL
I finished the skirt on a hell girl commission and an ouran commission was just picked up yesterday.
I'm going to get started on my other commissions today and will continue working on them when I get back sundayish.
I also took in my Gokudera shirt so it's ready to go. I just need wrappings, white belts[/customized], and bombs!

Kumi-chan · « **Reply #1640 on:** August 13, 2009, 03:54:34 pm »

Working to finish Hitomi's school uniform for a shoot this weekend, which means it'll be ready for the con. I'll probably spend the next couple weeks looking for a good duffle bag.

My sundress for Akane is all cut out and ready to be sewn together, as is the fabric for Ranma's tunic. I might try to put together a different outfit, but since I'm supposed to help a few more members of my group get their stuff together, I don't think I've got the time.

For Ran, just need to sew the waistband to the skirt, make the vest, and figure out how the heck I'm going to do the horn in her hair. Shinichi, we've just got to decide if he's doing school uniform or the blue suit with the red bow tie. And figure out the wig. Darn Aoyama's hair sense.

waahoo! I got most of the materials for new meg. I just need yellow tights/pants and I'll be golden. ^_^

@pencil
I completely understand on embroidering. I can't stand it. >_< But you did a very good job for missing a piece. better then I could ever really do.

lychee-twist · « **Reply #1643 on:** August 13, 2009, 10:25:10 pm »

I got my vest done for my secondary cosplay! Whoo! I just don't understand how so little could take up so much time. I worked two and a half hours cutting out strips and folding it like bias tape to cover rough edges.

Now onto a shower and cutting out make shift tabi! The Kusuriuri's are like loose socks for the Edo period.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #1644 on:** August 13, 2009, 10:28:02 pm »

Man, I really need to get on the ball and get my stuff done. I have never been as bad a procrastinator as I am being this year. It's awful, lol

Someone ship me a motivational speaker!!

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1645 on:** August 13, 2009, 10:32:28 pm »

I am currently partaking in the arduous process of gluing green flowers together so they don't fall apart, then gluing them to my bustier, because sewing them would physically be impossible. My thumbs wouldn't survive it, and neither would my sanity. Thank Primus for Mighty Mendit, because this stuff is hella awesome.

Also, I have more taffeta on order for my ruffles because I didn't have enough to begin with, and all the fabric for my actual petticoat that'll hold said ruffles and such up. Then I'll put the bottom black part together and cut DAT DESIGN out of it somehow.

The novelty of working on Maria wore out long ago. I'm never making something like this ever again. EVER. NO. NEVER. But I'll still wear Maria to big conventions.

I think I'll do a version of Sheryl Nome after I have all my current stuff done... BUT FIRST I MUST STYLE MY NEW LAVI WIG OF AWESOME AND BEAUTY. AFTER MARIA. YEAH.

For now I dropped one of my two cosplays. There were some... issues regarding it I'd rather not go into. Hopefully I can still wear it in the future cause it looks great. But now I have one cosplay for Kumo, and that one's almost finished too.

I'm such a Escaflowne fangirl, I'm totally going to want a picture of you.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to have Van and Merle with me, too. So keep your eyes peeled. ^_~

Finished the skirt (needs a hook to keep the waistband closed, but for now a safety pin will do). About halfway done with the shirt, and I'll hopefully be finishing the jacket tomorrow. Only thing I'm worried about are buttonholes, since I've never done those yet. Might just sew the buttons on for now and use snaps for the actual closures.

Also need to finish some bits on Juliet!Akane, mainly the hat and the hair fall. I'd like to do the embroidery on the sleeves but I don't think I've got time.
