Sleeves: DONE...well nearly :3 (Posted 1st September 2010)

Oh em gee xD I made two sleeves~! It took 6hrs 8mins in total ( including drawing and cutting them out aswell as handsewing the seams and hemming the ends. )and i kept having breaks every now and again ^^ but I cut that out of the time.
All that's left with them is to sew them to the body part. Which isn't done yet, as i still need more fabric for it.
But I'm really proud of making the sleeves :D they are so comfy too!! >3< I'm glad they have satin fabric underneath lol. Because I couldn't find any white cotton or anything, so had to get satin ( which was cheap still ^^ )which means the satin, as it's too shiny, is going to be underneath and the side which isn't shiny will be showing outside xD if that makes sense. I hope so~! So yeah...satin is comfy =3= and cool~ I hope it doesn't stick to me or alt when i wear it and get too hot though xD gah! That wouldn't be good.

Well I'm uploading images now ^^ hehe~

Moar Fabric Needed! (Posted 30th August 2010)

Well, it's been a while since my last journal :3 so here's an update;

CLOAK
I have finished it 8D I messed it up slightly, but...well that's my opinion xD others have said it's really good, in fact as soon as I put it on I was drowned in compliments ^///w\\\^ so, I'll take their word for it. But, I am proud that I actually managed to make it xD even if the back bit of the hood where it's attached to the cloak went a bit wrong( the sewing caught the edge of the hood and made it get sewn so that the underneath fabric of the hood shows slightly.. It's hard to explain xD but it isn't that noticeable<3 ) and i cut the cloak really strangely O.o;

WIG
I got one that was about £21 in the Market, and ffff~ I freakin love the thing. Everyone thinks it's my real hair x''D it's highlighted but, i think it suits Iggy quite well seeing as in the Manga it's meant to be kinda dark and in the anime it's light ^^ lol I like to mix the anime and manga's variations 8D It makes the character seem more real to me ^^; idk..hard to explain that...but yeah, hopefully you understand :P

GOWN/ROBE thingy 8D
I finally started it :O lol srsly I've been putting it off for far too long xP my friend Jack/James helped me find patterns online and one seems to be working for me ^^! I really hope it comes out okay Dx I modified the pattern so that instead of having to sew the sides together AND the front and back, it's just the sides I'm sewing :3 oh god, all this hand sewing is going to kill me D'x but hopefully it'll be worth it ^^

SHOES
I'm thinking small brown boots or pumps, but if not, I think barefoot would still work 8D it's just, in the anime, he does have brown shoes on..

AWRIGHT. I think I'm done ;D... why'd I just go all American? O.o
XD thanks for reading~!

update! (Posted 23rd June 2010)

Hais ^^ so I'm going to finish the cloak off soon, i need to add the hood... oh joy. This better go well! XD;;
I think I've found a good wig in Leeds/town ^^ but it's like £30 D8 so idk yet. But, it's the best i've found, including online tbh :/ I'll try getting a photo to show it and get opinions ^^
Lol that gown is going to kill me, I swear Dx i'm wanting to do a certain detail on the top part at the front. Like, a sewing detail where it looks like it's not sewn tight enough. But idk how on earth to do it! XD Please help meeee.
I might not actually wear shoes for this O.o or maybe flipflops for generally walking around, and take 'em off for photos XD i haz british ones!! 8D

Mmmkay, i think that's it for this update. but yeah ^^ nearly there~ and i have a lot of time to finish it in.
Any suggestions are appreciated ^^!

FABRIC BOUGHT! (Posted 28th February 2010)

xD YES, I AM NOW DEFINITELY DOING THIS COSPLAY!!
Satin fabric( probably fake satin XD )- £2 per metre, so £4 all together.
Velvet fabric - £4 per metre, so £8 all together.
Total = £12!
I REALLY do not wanna fail at this now, seeing as £12 to me is still quite a lot xP
SO PLEASE, HELP ME OUT! >.< if you know how to make cloaks ( I think I know how to make that OK, idk if i'll need to take measurements or take 3 separate bits of the fabric and sew them together, as it seems to go around me OK xD I need a hood, though. )or/and gown's( REALLY need help with that, especially with choosing which side of the fabric to use on the outside! And with how to make it fit me measurement wise. ) then i would really appreciate your help if you're willing to give me any! ^_^

Thankies~

i made a cloak XD (Posted 31st January 2010)

..for a bratz doll.
But it was really hard! i even started getting kinda stressed out about it >_<
But I did it O__o
I used left-overs of the red felt fabric that I had bought for the inside of my Amu bag.
The thing is, it's hard to tie it.
I made holes for the fabric to go through, as if 'tied', but it doesn't work that well..
Do you think a button on my own cloak would be a good idea? As my mum could probably sew it on for me 'XD

PS: will add images of the cloak, soon!
