Two weeks to Toracon

I'm afraid my sewing machine might start smoking with how much satin I've put through it.

 

RIP sewing machine. ;_;7

 

That's only a sign of the beginning of your frustrating but worthwhile cosplay journey D:

btw what are you cosplaying? c:

 

Tuscany is a great place to be.

 

Not yet. It's a good sewing machine, despite being literally twice my age. It just doesn't like satin.

Oerba Yun Fang. I'm about half done.

 

May the sewing spirits be with you and your machine. You can do it!!

 

That reminds me that I need to find a way to make my Asuka cosplay without arousing my parents' suspicion.

 

I need to learn to sew so cosplaying isn't so expensive >:3

 

I've already dropped at least $60 on this costume and I still have stuff to buy.

 

Obera seems quite complex to make costume-wise, which parts are you making exactly?

 

I wanna know alssssooooo. I own a 200 dollar sewing machine and don't even know where to begin. >:|

 

Totally off topic but your signature is like sex to my eyes >:3 I love it : D

Back to cosplaying, I really wish I knew more people in real life that would be willing to cosplay with me. I have been tempted to learn how to knit so I could make the Fourth Doctor's scarf and either cosplay as him or Osgood from the 50th anniversary since I own everything she wears apart from the glasses and scarf.

 

Thank you! xD It's years old and I'm to lazy to change it. -w-

I'd love come cosplay with you! D: Cause I'm in that same boat. Thats what my husband originally bought it for. So I can make them but I haven't. :c I've learn to crotch.. but thats about it. I was told to start out making throw pillows and then go from there. I'm impatient and want it done now LOL (my cosplays I mean. >>;;; )

 

Yeah, I wish you could just download the skill, screw learning and developing it through hard work and practice ;-;

 

My brain in a nutshell. ;--; Been on a computer so long that if I can't google, download or youtube it? It's a lost cause. ;A; -cutself-

 

*Oerba, and Fang is her first name. Oerba is the village she's from. Yun is her family name. idk

I'm making pretty much everything. The jewelry is handmade by me, I'm currently working on her sari, I altered the boots, and I'm getting a friend to style the wig because I am hopeless at complex wig styling. Also I bought bike shorts and a sports bra for the underarmor. After this I have to go find a belt, make her arm band things, make those fuzzy things that hang from her belt, make a cape (not actually part of the costume but I don't want to freeze) and I still don't know how I'm gonna do her makeup.

Come to america and I'll cosplay with youuuuuuu

I'm pretty sure crochet is the work you are looking for.
Or are you implying something? >_>

I'm sure there's beginning sewing tutorials out there? I learned most of my skills be looking up stuff.

 

Y-yes. >>;;; I meant crotchet. >>;;;

Oh of course! I just don't really know where to begin. Plus not having fundsfor the items needed I'm just a sitting duck for now.

 

I was just shortening her name and failing xD I have never got that far in FFXIII

Oh my, that is quite a lot and quite a challenge. How good are your sewing skills?

I would, BUT AMERICA IS EXPENSIVE D: I definitely want to go cosplay in america one day though :3 it's a lot bigger than it is here.

 

xD I hope it's dangerous >:3
