xD I can't speak for Link, but I took a sewing class for a year at school, so I know some basics. xD

My costume didn't require a lot of sewing. xP
The bra was bought from a shop, as was the skirt. Boots have masking tape.. Only things I needed to sew were the sleeves and scarf. xDD And even then it's only minimal. =P

While Rikku's costume was awesome I have to agree, it looks like it took minimal sewing. Some parts were not even hemmed/edged.

I find the time consuming part is the patterning and cutting and pinning. And the fabric shopping.

But like if you are in ChCh attend one of the sewing meets and we can suggest/show you things.

I don't mean to sound like I can do things well. I need lots of practise. But actually sewing is meant to be easy. Threatens sewing machine with sledge hammer.

Lol I don't own a sewing machine, and I had a week to make the costume. xDDD I made a jacket in school once, and it turned out really well. I'd be able to make a costume easy, as long as it was simple. I just need a freaking sewing machine. -Spazz- xDD

The jobs so I can have money for multiple things. Get money so I can do up my Rikku costume for the Dunedin Con, save up for it, too. Then, after that, save up for Auckageddon so I can go. Parents are fine with me going where ever, I only need the money to do it. xDD

Such an expensive hobby this is.

Lawl my auntie has a sewing machine I'm allowed to borrow. Apparently I'm to go around tomorrow evening and pick it up. Trouble is, I don't have any material yet. xDDD;;

o.O My mum just walked in and told me not to worry too much about getting a job, cos I'm going to Auckland for the Con, end of story. I said 'What, even if you have to pay for me yourself?' and she said yes. I said 'That's why I'm looking for a job! If I don't get a job, I can't go!' and she said 'You're going. End of story.'

xDD Lol some good news to brighten my night, I suppose.
