/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Once in a rare while, I just fizzle out of cosplay. I have absolutely no motivation to work on any costumes, I cant make up my mind on which character to work on next, and I just feel tired when I think about it. Even skimming through my photo albums just makes me cringe. I hate these slumps, especially when I really should be working on costumes right now.

I also have to confess that Im one of those people who wishes the majority of an anime con's attendees were cosplaying from anime, or even a Japanese video game. Im just tired of two-thirds of the con being Homestuck, Adventure Time, and Ponies. I dont mind Western fandoms being there, I just dont want them to be most of the cosplayers.

I feel hypocritical though, because I just added Snufkin to my cosplay list.

I also have a higher tolerance of AoT because I think their uniforms are cool and the belts on the legs are hot (when done right).

I want to cosplay Snufkin from The Moomins, but I'm having some trouble with a few parts.
How would I go about making a hat like this?
I was thinking of buying a witch hat, cutting the tip, bunching it inwards and sewing that, but can't find one in the right color.
Also, where could I get a tunic like his or go about making one?
