Sewing Progress

// July 22nd, 2010 // 4 Comments » // Cosplay, Sewing

We have finished the skirts and what I mean by we, I mean my mother and I and then mostly my mother. What? she took over while I was asleep! lol Still, I did a lot of the work on them and I’m attached to the first one since I did some sewing on it. xD Let me tell you something, cutting out patterns is a bitch and makes your back hurts like hell. Oh well! I think the skirts turned out rather nicely for our first time sewing in years.

Now all we have to do is alter the shirts and make the ties. Yay! Then I need to buy the gloves and stockings… and be on the look out for cute boots. Woot! I want to be able to finish this before cold weather comes.

Sewing Project

// July 16th, 2010 // 2 Comments » // Cosplay, Sewing

So, I’m about to start my first sewing project. It will be for cosplay of course. I haven’t sewn anything in ages so this is a big deal for me. My mother will be helping me but she wants me to try and do as much of it as I can by myself. Gulp.

So, I bought this super adorable clock at San Japan and it had a picture on it that made me want to cosplay as. I knew no one else would have it because it’s not the main character outfits but having them and wearing them would be lots of fun and look really cute. It is three characters from Toradora, Taiga, Minorin, and Ami. I will be making three skirts. As for the shirts, I might buy something and alter it. We shall see how that goes first.

Here is what the outfits look like.
