Hand sewing a whole costume takes up soooo much time. A sewing machine should be a saviour from the heavens~

Cosplay is a drug. A good one. It makes you feel all shiny-glowy, and occasionally you drool. It gives you unnatural energy and/or personality traits. It causes insomnia. It's highly addictive. It's frowned upon by certain levels of society. And it's just great. And apparently, some forms of cosplay are illegal...

True, but there are things you can do by hand much quicker and better than on a machine...

I use my machine for 99% of the internal structural seams, and do most of my finishing by hand; but then again I mostly make medieval clothes for recreation.

Static, you're simply awesome. chuu~!

Currently thinking about how the hell you wire up EL tape, but nevermind about that. D: I'm also thinking I should really start doing some actual WORK on cosplay rather than fretting about chemistry...

and crossing my fingers that my wigs arrive in time from Cosworx. Bah humbug.

Anyway.

Oh gawd, that reminds me....I have to reorder the wigs that went awol when I gave cosworx the wrong address by mistake. Damn! Also start my awesome cosplay balldresses...

I have two things to say about it:

(this is more of a thing to remember) Make sure when you spill your stash of Pins, its on Lino not Carpet...:S

Oh and 7 years of research has NOTHING on actually making a Cosplay costume XD

Also, also, when you drop a pin on carpet it's actually quite loud. I can always hear my pins drop. I can't always FIND them for a few days, but I hear them. Then I stand on them.

The End Result of hand-sewing is defiantly worth your thumb looking like a Pin Cushion...

cats. CATS.

they always go for the fabric that will show up their shedding fur the most and then ROLL AROUND IT ALL AND MESS IT ALL UP, and after they've done that they'll go get it on all the /rest/ of your costumes.

@ Seraphik: they also pee on stuff Mad

Luckily it was only scrap material...

I'm currently trying to figure out how I'm going to be able to actually MOVE AROUND at Auckgeddon in my costume.....I'm thinking I'll get there early and just stand in a corner near the Judging room the whole day Razz

(I has wings - three pairs to be exact Shocked

)

I always stand on pins... my feet hate me Very Happy

I finally got my hands on rubbing alcohol! After trying at about three chemists, I found out my Mum sells it at her work ^^; Staff discount, woot! Now I just need a wig to dye...
