/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>go to multiple cons and cosplay events
>decide to take a break due to too much sewing
>keep adding things to the next con pile
fuck everything

>no local con ever
>suddenly local con
>spend months on costume
>hardly anyone dresses up
>get mocked for dressing up

Does this ever happen to anyone else?

Could you interface the thin fabric and then line the pants?

that feel when close friends plan a group and the con is 8 months away and you're already foaming at the mouth with excitement at how awesome and fun its going to be

>not using upholstery fabric

unless it's too thick, just use it brah. half the shit you see in movies is drapery and upholstery fabric.

>>7115484
I'm not sure of the thickness, since I'm looking online.

>>7115218
I might do that, if I can find extremely-thin interfacing.
It's the drape that's mostly bothering me. Too thin will look like pajama-pants, and too thick will just look strange.

>tfw you only have one friend you can do con or anime-related things with
>tfw you're always a third wheel to their other friends/boyfriend and are too awkward to fit in with the group
>tfw your only interests fall in weeaboo loser stuff, so it's hard to make more friends in your area

Driving makes me so fucking nervous with people IN the car, if I had to do it alone I'd probably crash and die.

You might get lucky in Jo-Ann's clearance section. I used to work there and there was always a ton of that jersey mesh material basketball shorts are made out of, assuming that's what you're looking for. Stuff was never normally stocked, it shipped in marked for clearance. Check the knits and sports/performance section too, might have seen it stocked there once or twice.

>tfw big plans to cosplay but no money
>tfw filling the void with ita and progress threads

I'm sorry, anon. I'm still suffering from Free! ending. Sometimes, I think Rei would make a better MC than Haru... but then the series wouldn't really be called Free! anymore.
>tfw you'll never hear Rei tell you that you look "Utsukushii" in your outfits and cosplay
>tfw Rei will never help you get fit by making workout routines and nutrition plans
>tfw when Rei will never request you to sew something for him that looks "utsukushii"
