Cosplay Update

It's been a while since I blogged last, I have been getting things done since my last post.

I'm planning on doing two cosplay outfits this year. The outfits are of Nanami Momozono of Kamisama Kiss, the first being her school uniform, the second her kagura outfit.

A picture of Nanami's school uniform.

I bought the shirt and had it fitted. I finish cutting out the jacket pieces and just press the skirt pleats.

This is a prop I'm making for the kagura outfit. I wanted to get this done before the I start on the actual outfit. I'm don't have a lot of experience on prop making, so it's going to interesting to do.

Fitting Issues

I got machine fix up, got a new iron, and sew everything up perfectly. Then putting it on was a whole other story. My jacket's measurements were off. I'm not too upset about the fitting it was just the mock-up.

Machines and Things

So this week I had to take up my sewing machine to the repair shop. It's very important to listen to your machine, because certain noise may indicate that it needs cleaning, or there is a serious problem. Luckily my just needed to be oiled.

While my sewing machine is getting fix-up, I'm keeping busy working on drafts for my new cosplay outfit. It's going well right now, I just have it draft a collar and cuffs.

Up-Coming Project

Currently working on fly-rod casing, but I'm hope to be starting on another cosplay outfit soon. 

Winter Projects

I've been sewing rod casings for fly-rods. These are pictures of prototypes I been working on. I have already completed 3 plaid casings and sold them. I'm currently working on the green casings.

Summer Projects

I been doing some small contract work during the summer, like sewing pillow cases and curtains. I sold my Hakama pants. There  was a lot of things happening at the time and I was trying to catch up with everything.

Animartimes 2013

Here's me in my Toph outfit. I did take part in the costume contest. I didn't winner. But it was a learning experience for me and what I learn was I have to perform more on stage. I thought it was pretty good for my first time. I got 40 to 50 people asking me for me picture, which I consider that a win to me.
