what if we had a work day once a month where we'd all gather and well work on cosplays. It's always fun to work with others.
my house has a sewing mechine and an adjustible mannequin. There'd have to be a second sewing machine. and a max of 8 people.
we could do it at other houses as well, of course. we could work it to where we have work out day and work day on the same weekend. not same days. or just do it other weekends.

working with other people is great because every one can't give suggestions and stuff.... so.... yeah... what do ya'll think?

melchizedek · « **Reply #1 on:** October 25, 2008, 02:47:40 pm »

I think it's a good idea, however I have next to no sewing skills. I've never been in any cosplay contests cause all of my cosplay is bought or just slightly tweaked.

Hazuza · « **Reply #2 on:** October 25, 2008, 04:18:48 pm »

I'm unsure of once a month, but getting updates of whenever there was one'd be cool ^^;

I'd suggest more sewing machines, though... I'd bring my own, o'course.

I love having cosplay workshops 80

tofutakeout · « **Reply #3 on:** October 25, 2008, 08:14:49 pm »

yay the idea finally arises. yeah I though people bringing their own machines and materials and sharing would be better. I could try to rustle up some snacks or when we hang we just order pizza or something. :3

SageBell · « **Reply #4 on:** October 25, 2008, 09:58:47 pm »

well yeah, i attempted during the summer, but certain people bring drama and distration and i'm a drama free person, so my house is."the drama free zone"

tofutakeout · « **Reply #5 on:** October 25, 2008, 10:06:12 pm »

yeah that was really dumb. never got any work done. or if we did it was so little. >:[

SageBell · « **Reply #6 on:** October 25, 2008, 11:18:31 pm »

but other days we did.... til the mono came and killed all joy in my life for those two weeks

nikkiolie · « **Reply #7 on:** October 26, 2008, 12:37:41 am »

I've done a few cosplay workshops and they turned out really well. I would be willing to join in ^_^

SageBell · « **Reply #8 on:** October 26, 2008, 10:40:47 am »

well my next free weekends are 15th/16th of nov. and 22/23
then 20th/21st of dec. if nn of those work we could wait til after the holidays then we'll all be free-er

nikkiolie · « **Reply #9 on:** October 26, 2008, 12:27:32 pm »

I would be good with the 22/23

the 15th and 16th is Dad's weekend in Corvallis and my dad is coming down.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #10 on:** October 26, 2008, 05:41:46 pm »

any of those days I think is fine with me. when a definite date is chosen I'll write it down.

SageBell · « **Reply #11 on:** October 26, 2008, 08:56:41 pm »

I think it's a good idea, however I have next to no sewing skills. I've never been in any cosplay contests cause all of my cosplay is bought or just slightly tweaked.

Same here, most of my cosplays were pieces of just the right clothes and stuff. Though I only never entered a cosplay contest because I was afraid I'd never stand a chance to win. Most of the time preparing for K-con '08 I had no one else but myself to do it, or be in my skit.

I don't know how many more DragonBall fans are left out there...compared to Kingdom Hearts,Naruto, Bleach, and Death Note. Most of which I never seriously watched on TV/played or have money to buy the DVDs. I don't know enough about the more popular series to be able to base cosplays off of them, and the older series such as DragonBall and Inuyasha are apparently outdated. What's an old fan to do?

And so, except for sewing a patch onto a denim jacket, I really don't have anything I could bring to have worked on.

Blue Leader · « **Reply #16 on:** October 30, 2008, 08:59:11 am »

Sounds interesting. Though I'm really not much of a sewer... I can build things, and paint as long as the design isn't extremely complex... But sewing not so much. I can just do enough sewing to get me by; buttons, patches, quick fixes... >>;;

tofutakeout · « **Reply #17 on:** October 30, 2008, 10:44:01 am »

well when we have had cosplay workdays in the past it's to work on any part of your cosplay that you need too. it's really just a get to together to get help if you need it, get to work, or to socialize. :3

nikkiolie · « **Reply #18 on:** October 30, 2008, 10:47:18 am »

Well I found out a few things that I need to work on on a costume of mine so I'll have something to do

tofutakeout · « **Reply #19 on:** October 30, 2008, 11:02:29 am »

that's good. :3 and we tend to have extra materials for certain things so whenever we're setting up a cosplay workday people can say what they need here and someone can tell them if they have it and let them use it.

SageBell · « **Reply #20 on:** November 01, 2008, 10:02:23 am »

yeah my giant scrap bag.
different people bring different ideas. And later we're going to teach quinci to sew. but first she'll get to work on her anchor but i'll leave that for after new years.....*needs to go to joanns* <_< >_> -_-

ok so the weekend of the 22/23 still open? we only need a day. we can have this one at my house for i assume it'll be a small amount of us and 2 to 3 people will be working on wedding/ xmas presents. i'll prob stitch around from coslpay to gift then back to cosplay i like have a veriety to work on.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #21 on:** November 01, 2008, 10:39:44 am »

same here. I got some other things to work on. yeah 22/23 works for me. just gotta ask me madre.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #22 on:** November 01, 2008, 07:24:08 pm »

I need to remake the belt for Albe and that is as good of a time as any. I'm am great with the 22/23

SageBell · « **Reply #23 on:** November 02, 2008, 01:12:53 pm »

nikkiolie · « **Reply #24 on:** November 02, 2008, 01:19:41 pm »

SageBell · « **Reply #26 on:** November 11, 2008, 11:56:30 am »

ok so Saturday Nov 22 at my house. now what times do we want to do this? THere's no actual rule when people have to leave, mother goes to be at 9 or 10pm so that just means din't be loud, but other then that we're pretty fexible here

nikkiolie · « **Reply #27 on:** November 11, 2008, 12:01:13 pm »

a full day would be nice so how about noon?

Also will we need to bring our own food or money for food?

tofutakeout · « **Reply #28 on:** November 11, 2008, 12:25:55 pm »

can I spend the night before? then if you need help with anything before everyone comes over I can do it....like maybe your room/living room still needs some cleaning?

SageBell · « **Reply #29 on:** November 11, 2008, 07:35:12 pm »

tessa yes. help cleaning my room would be awsome and we could ride bus home from rehearsal in the dark togehter. haha
O-o bringing you own food sounds cool. all potlucky like O_O

tofutakeout · « **Reply #30 on:** November 11, 2008, 07:44:38 pm »

Yay! okay I'll help you clean with my amazing cleaning skills.....damn that means I need to bring all my cosplay stuff with me that day to school to bring to your house. I think I can do it.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #31 on:** November 11, 2008, 08:28:03 pm »

So you want me to bring food for more than one person to eat? Thats fine with me but I just need an idea of how much to bring

SageBell · « **Reply #32 on:** November 12, 2008, 11:03:47 pm »

nikkiolie · « **Reply #33 on:** November 13, 2008, 09:42:26 am »

alright so I might bring stuff like chips and soda >_>

SageBell · « **Reply #34 on:** November 13, 2008, 08:11:43 pm »

nikkiolie · « **Reply #35 on:** November 13, 2008, 08:29:45 pm »

SageBell · « **Reply #36 on:** November 13, 2008, 08:48:09 pm »

tofutakeout · « **Reply #37 on:** November 14, 2008, 10:45:19 pm »

nikkiolie · « **Reply #38 on:** November 15, 2008, 10:07:50 am »

nikkiolie · « **Reply #39 on:** November 18, 2008, 12:08:42 pm »

Sorry to say that I wont be able to make it this weekend. I found out that I have a midterm on Monday and I'll have to study for that, and I get a lot more work done at school then I do at home =/

tofutakeout · « **Reply #40 on:** November 18, 2008, 05:16:28 pm »

@nikki
aaaaaw. thats sad. well maybe the next one things will go better. :3

nikkiolie · « **Reply #41 on:** November 18, 2008, 05:49:18 pm »

yeah....I wanted to go but I really I have three essays that I need to practice (one of the three will be on the test) and then the rest of the material to study.

It would just be better if I were here, also a lot of the people will be gone all day Saturday because there is a LAN so I should get lots of work done

SageBell · « **Reply #42 on:** November 18, 2008, 07:37:11 pm »

unless anyone else plans on coming it's just me and you tessa

tofutakeout · « **Reply #43 on:** November 18, 2008, 08:03:26 pm »

nikkiolie · « **Reply #44 on:** November 18, 2008, 09:14:03 pm »

I'm sorry I really was going to go....my teacher just surprised me and told me that my midterm was Monday and not Wednesday x.x

tofutakeout · « **Reply #45 on:** November 18, 2008, 09:22:36 pm »

it's okay. the next one I'm pawning others into going too. they need motivation and have things to work on anyways. good luck on your midterms, I hope you do well.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #46 on:** November 18, 2008, 09:27:48 pm »

Do you have any idea when the next one is going to be? I'll try to go to that one for sure.

And thanks, I hope I do well :3

tofutakeout · « **Reply #47 on:** November 18, 2008, 09:32:31 pm »

not sure. it depends on when Janelle is free and when others want to come.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #48 on:** November 18, 2008, 09:34:25 pm »

Sometime during winter break might be a good idea....I wouldn't mid if it was before sakuracon seeing how I will most likely still need to work on that costume x.x

tofutakeout · « **Reply #49 on:** November 18, 2008, 09:38:12 pm »

alright I'll either tell her or she'll read this.
