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.

Here is a comparison between the original character and the outfit.

I also wore the this outfit to Animaritimes 2013.

Nice close-up of the belt.

The wrist and ankle bands were a bit tricky to figure out on the construct side.

This was my first ever wig making project.
