FINALLY AN UPDATE!

Hey okay guys so Otakon was mad fun and I did finish my Jirachi and Valentine cosplay

 Valentine

Jirachi

New cosplay on the List

Hello everyone! I've decided to torment myself even more by adding one more cosplay to the 2012 Otakon Line up :) I'll be hopefully going into overdrive for my cosplay of Valentine from the Video Game skull girls! I picked her because she has a lot of basic components but isnt the simplest of the SkullGirls so she will be sightly more reconcilable. I'm hoping to get a group going for this one, fingers crossed!

Finished Jirachi Hat

Hello everyone! I finished the Jirachi hat and thought i'd give you all a little peek at it :)

Jirachi Hat

Hello everyone! So sorry for the long delay on this update, I've been working on school work for a while. ANYWAY onto the main event!

I've been working on how to go about mastering the look of Jirachi's head in this hat and found that what i've been doing has been working pretty well. I took a beanie (courtesy of my friend, David) and i put it on a foam wig head. I took duct tape and 3 foam cones and taped them in the necessary places as well as the back of the beanie so it would keep it's shape, but i left about a half inch up so i'd be able to sew into the beanie without having to fight with the duct tape.

Here is a shot of this process. Im still working on the hat as we speak, right now, im sewing on the shiny gold/yellow fabric to the parts of the beanie that are still showing. I'll only be sewing on the two side 'horns' in a attempt to hide the seams and to avoid some of the edges. (cus i like to look for short cuts when i can :3)

But that sums up this little update for noooooooow :) cya back here later!

Jirachi Sleeves Progress shot

 

Here are the sleeves for my Jirachi cosplay all pinned and ready for the sexing machine. As soon as i can go work on one hehe :) I had actually made 3 sleeves, the first one didnt quite flair out at the bottom at the bottom so after some minor adjustments, we got these babies :)

Here is a picture of my unloved child haha

whooooot hand sewn haha

Jirachi shopping finished & Work shop parties

Hey everyone! I finally bought all the materials [Fabric wise] I will need for my Jirachi Cosplay. In total it cost about $50 to match all the fabric correctly @_@ sad face but oh well. Construction can start as soon as i get a sewing machine. Also, Im planning on setting up some time for some of my friends to get together and all work on our costumes. FunFun :3

Shopping/THA BF

So went cosplay shopping with the boyfriend today. HE LOVED IT. *sarcasm overload* He's not a fan of the fabric store, but mean old girlfriend made him go. ;) hehe Anyway, I just bout the yellow fabric i'll be using for the 'wings' and the hat for Jirachi. My baby offered up one of his beanies so i'll have a foundation <3 Dont worry little ones, i'll put up a how to!
