Been working on the ugliest goddamn pants in the world for the last couple days. Still fiddling with the fit some, but drop-crotch pants look fucking retarded no matter what so it's difficult to determine whether they're ugly in the right way or the wrong way.

On some level I kind of want to start over and just make them more normal pants (with the dumb pockets and contrasting colors), but I don't think I've got enough material for that. On the plus side, the waistband and whatnot fit well so the weight of the stupid cube strands doesn't make them sag and shit.

anti-progress: put on trim which because of the curve has some bias stretch to it, then went to attach lining not noticing that the trim had pulled one side shorter than the other on the shell. when I trimmed the lining I trimmed the short side not the long one so now I've fucked up and need to redo the trim to get it even and might need to buy new fabric for the lining. I just feel horrible and can't sleep, but can't work on anything either.

Been chipping away at the million things I need to do on my two dragon puppets. The form of the Terrible Terror is pretty much done, I'll probably be able to put his skin on next week, but I've only just started to work on the baby Nadder's head.

I spent all of Sunday with my dad and we figured out and cut out most of the pieces for two copies of John Doe's Guillotine Blade; one for my John Doe costume and one to hopefully be used as a Lucid Gadget by my bf (he's being a little wishy-washy about the cosplay right now).

Can you share a bit on this process? I've got a friend that wants to cosplay an unarmored version of Faora from MoS and some info on this method (sublimated dye, right?) would be swell.

[Anonymous No.6932732]

Erika from Pokemon. Gotta add the design on the headband. I've added the Pokeball appliques since this picture though. I also need to finish the zipper in the back of the hakama because I got it mostly sewn on then my machine messed up and I lost patience.

I need to figure out how to make the hakama less poofy over my hips. I messed up the other one trying to get the pleats to stay down and just ruined it completely, so this poofy piece is hakama 2.0.

I think my hips are just too big and my waist too small in comparison ;.;

[Torii !DraWingsTo No.6932762]

Had to tailor a top for my yoko cosplay. I thought I could just buy the bathing suit top and paint the flames on but I was SO wrong. tiny frame made the top of the triangle bikini stretch up more, so the top of the triangle was almost at my neck :c
Finished sewing that and sewing padding into it. Now working on the muffler.
I thought I could make this an super easy mostly store bought costume ... boy was I wrong. At least now I know how to make a bikini top.

Do you have any tips/info on how to draft the designs? I get that you draw it up in photoshop, they print it then you sew it together but it just seems like there is so little room for error when you make the fabric this way (sizing and placement being my biggest worries).

[Scoot No.6933509]

>>6933478

I'm sorry I'm not more helpful, I'm still a beginner to this method.
Only recently taught myself to do it.

But I just generally try to eyeball things the best I can. I use the rulers in photoshop a lot to make sure things are right.

For the actual catsuit pattern itself, you can probably just take in a free one online onto photoshop and use that.

They're far from perfect, but I'm glad I took it apart as many times as I did––though that all could have been avoided if I'd taken more time on the muslin.

Cast attempt part two! I would like to thank everyone from the last thread who didn't just straight up tell me I'm retarded, while I know this cast isn't perfect either, it is definitely much better than my last one!

Protip: You can cover craft foam in glue, gloss, and even resin conditioner and it's still going to explode when you try to cast in it so just don't do it. I didn't have anything else around to substitute and figured if I sealed it enough it'd be fine and I was wrong. I was very wrong.

So now my crown is a bit off center, but what the fuck ever looks so much better than my first attempt. Right now I'm following a tutorial's advice to coat the molded side with extra resin for a more glossy finish so it's going to cure for one more day. It's pretty heavy, I could probably bludgeon someone to death with this thing. Or at least give them a sizeable head wound.

That was my initial thought! But I'm terrified for.. many reasons. For one, not 100% certain the hot glue will be secure. For two, slightly worried the heat from the glue will warp the worbla in weird ways. And for 3... I'd have to wear the gloves as I hot glued them onto my fingers to get placement right. Not really looking forward to ridiculous burns on all of my fingers.

I'm thinking I might attach each of the finger pieces together with a strip of spandex (same color/fabric as glove) and then sew the spandex onto the glove on the ends or wherever I can. Not sure if that makes sense. Or if it would works.

tldr; has anyone used hot glue on worbla?

[Anonymous No.6936835]

>>6936830

You could try drilling some small holes in the sides of the pieces and stitching through them to the glove fabric. Assuming you've got a dremel or something.

Alternately, maybe a rubber cement would be a better choice? It's flexible and usually holds pretty well (though admittedly I haven't tried it with this sort of application before), but it doesn't get hot like hot glue would.

Made some decent progress on the shirt. Shit's pretty wonky, especially in the collar, but the shape's about right. Still not sure how to handle the weird-ass darts on the front of the shirt. Current plan of attack is to just make the smallest seam possible, like a really tiny pintuck more than a proper dart (still don't know why the fuck there are boob-darts on his shirt, they don't do fuck all shape-wise).

Did a quick test with the tie and it's to big. On the plus side, that's a lot easier to fix than it being too small.

At any rate, the shirt's almost there. I hope I have enough material for the sleeves.

I agree with the shortening of the skirt, and your bodice needs some boning. It'll hug your body much more and I think it'll just make the outfit more clean. It's looking great though, I've been wanting to make that outfit since I saw that Miku artwork, I'm really glad others are attempting it!

This is the only Maya progress I have to show right now since the bodysuit doesn't look very good without shape wear. This is the tattoo sleeve since I don't have enough time to draw them on due to a tiny slot allotted for changing.
I really wish I had discovered that the marker was running much earlier in the project. Oh well I figured out how to counteract It eventually but not as soon as I had hoped.

Erm...I regularly post in progress thread? Last time I posted anything in progress thread was probably more than 4 months ago. And I never answer to the topic when it was brought up? Maybe you need to do your archive search more thoroughly. If you're really butthurt,you're welcomed to contact me directly. I've never scammed anyone. Had a few wigs that I didn't do my best on but I've always been fair to the clients if they talk to me directly,I even gave full or partial refund before. That one thread that ppl kept bringing it up, i never knew about it until later on when it's not active anymore. Wasn't on cgl 24/7 and friends who saw it never mentioned it to me. Already talked with Villetta wig client from that one thread that blew up. I refunded her in full and she apologized for posting in that thread. I don't want to disclose more than this because then a few ppl on here will just say that I'm trying to white knight myself. And I don't think I'm entitled to explain to every curious anon ever. You might be happy to know that I'm not taking any more wig commissions though.

hi anon, if you're still around, just to clarify- you used E6000 to connect worbla directly to fabric? I might pick up some and try it. Everything will just be so much easier if I can attach these directly to the gloves.

[Anonymous No.6938710]

>>6938684
Yep exactly. I put my gluve on, put a ton of E6000 on, and held the worbla piece in place, let it set enough to not move to much (it doesn't take too long, depends on how much glue you put on). I then took the glove off to let the glue sit over night. Any glue that went through the fabric, just pealed off. It's not like instant super glue which hardens instantly.

I didn't have one piece fall off all weekend, and I was carrying a staff and shield. I'm sorry I don't have any pics of the my gloves otherwise I'd put them up.

I tried the hot glue, and it didn't hold the worbla well at all. I didn't think the E6000 would work, but my hand pieces were much like yours.

>>6938776
Looks cute so far! What did you do with the bottom of the bloomers? I feel like it would look better if they were a bit poofier, did you put elastics in them? Also I think there should either be hair accessories matching the scarf, or a sort of hood coming up from it. Lastly, I think the gijinkas always look cuter when they've got cute little details, like lace trim on the bloomers, or a bow on the shirt, wings on the shoes etc. I have lots of Charlotte gijinkas saved if you want me to drop a couple.

[Anonymous No.6938808]

I'll have at least two layers under it so I don't think it'll be an issue comfort-wise. The main issue is just that they're purely decorative seams and real darts would change the shape pretty drastically. I don't think the character designer knows how seams work. A pintuck's basically just a really tiny dart anyway.

oh man it was deceptively complicated. I really didn't like any of the other Seri's I saw online. Here is the copy/paste from my ACP
Jacket: Heavily modified Cosmode Blazer. I folded down the front of the lapels to make the diagonal collar line that I would sew in later. and the zipper is sewn down the front. The black is just a slpliced panel. all the extra shapes are just geometrics covered is bias tape and interfacing. The blue is Dark blue twill suiting, the black and purple is cotton. All the white pieces are just bias tape
Skirt: Simplicity pencil skirt pattern with the color blocked panel put in and bias tape top stitched over that seam. Different blue cotton used here since it looked like there were actually 3 shades of blue in her uniform. I need to fix more waist bunching here.
Flaps: My favorite part of the costume. Rectangles were cut out and heavily interfaced. Well actually they are more like super loing trapzoids. Her "Mercedes" Symbol was made in photoshop and printed on an iron on transfer. The silver parts are all cut out of vinyl and heat n' bonded to the flaps. I took extra care to measure the angles but I still messed up a little. The bias tape was then sewn on top with mitered edges
Boots: Made stockings to look like thigh highs with leather look lycra and skin colored material. They are worn over heels from Payless

So as I was laying out what I thought was an entire kimono length bolt last night I found out the hard way (thankfully before cutting it) that I only have a haori length bolt.


So uh, I'm mostly done with my costume now? I need to repair my friend's kimono in a few places, make my obi and a false collar and then I'm totally done. I sure am glad I've seen the character wear women's kimono as overcoats before.

That is so pretty! Is that also a Nyanko-sensei charm on your mannequin?

[Anonymous No.6942936]

>>6942925
Yes! There's 3 of them there right now. The costume is actually for Matoba (I bought my fabric online and it turned out more brown that gray, oh well) and I had the charms lying around my sewing area so I stuck them on for pictures.

Thank you! It's been an ordeal. I decided I'd hand sew just about everything and I am honestly kind of glad to not have to make another garment right now.

I think I'm done with Cyrus for today. I'll probably continue cutting/shaping it on wednesday.
And for anyone curious, this (and Reese) will debut this saturday at Supercon!

It's for a human version of Cyrus from the new Animal Crossing game.

We don't have a solid design we're going off of, but he's going to be wearing a button-down shirt with rolled up sleeves, some slacks, loafers, and the apron while I'll be wearing a pink sweater, slacks, flats, and the apron.

[Anonymous No.6943041]

>>6943030
Ahahaha noo I'm so unfortunate looking, I don't ever want to self post. It'll be a while before I can completely finish it I guess since I do want to make his long haori, but I have to wait until the place I got my fabric from gets a long ro weave bolt in stock that I can afford. Time to start checking the site daily. I also want to buy different obi fabric (my obi fabric also wound up being rust colored instead of blood red... oops.) and see if I can't get a cheap gray men's kimono that's already made and hope that there's enough excess fabric tucked into the lining that I can lengthen it because I do not want to hand sew another kimono if I don't have to. I am too tall for all of the existing men's kimono which is why I decided to make my own semi-traditionally. It was a bad idea and I had no idea it would be so intensive.

I'm so excited for all of the Natsume stuff happening at AX, I'm gonna scream.

i'm curious as to how you put the hair on the pompadour. did you just put the wig over it?
and what if the base of the pompadour made of?

Goodness, no need to be so rude. All i did was ask a few questions (to the person that made the wig, not you). I've read through the whole thread, fyi.

[Anonymous No.6943179]

>>6943152
Thank you for not being rude.

I could tell it was foil, i was wondering if it was completely foil, or if it was stuffed with something lighter. My bad, I know that was a simple question.

I read that there were two different wigs, I was just wondering as to how they went about attaching the wig to the tin foil base, and how they blended the two wigs together (because when looking at it, you can't really tell it's two wigs).

Anyway to salvage these boots?

[Anonymous No.6943265]

>>6943257
Cut 'em off at the ankle and make ankle boots? I did that with a pair of white gogo boots that did the same thing. I made a bias tape/binding sort of thing out of salvageable fabric from the upper part of the boot.

They're still pretty ugly but the ugly bits are hidden by the pants I wear them with so it all worked out.

Hi, I'm the poster of the wig. Sorry for the late response, I got sucked into some video games.
It's not just tinfoil, and I'm sorry if the picture made it look like that. I made a wire base in the shape I wanted, then I stuffed it with... well, stuffing! The kind that would go in teddy bears. I wrapped this in some plastic cling wrap and taped and smoothed it down. Then I added the tinfoil layer, because the hot glue I used to add the second wig (which I had cut up) would probably melt the plastic wrap.
The hair blended together well not only because it's the same color fiber, but also because I glued in the new hair in the same direction. Then I just combed it out.

Thanks. No I have not made props before. I am lost on what I'm going to be doing for the armor but I'm sure I'll figure it out.

>>6944271
Thank you. The painting comes from doing the miniatures from the tabletop game. It's basically all hand painted and then using a dry brush for the silver "wearing" The chainsaw sword was made of foam and the bolt pistol was made out of butchered nerf guns mixed in with some other plastic shapes that were all glued together basically.

I strongly suggest you check out The RPF (replica prop forum)
You have some major potential, I think you'll do really well over there. They'll be able to help if you need any tips or anything, too.

You should start a build thread over there to document your progress though. You'll definitely be getting some followers.

Good eye. It was indeed a Nerf Maverick that I had lying around. Yes, I plan on carrying it around all day at Anime Expo so the grip will be covered. The thing is fairly heavy, I would say about five or six pounds and is very unbalanced to hold.

[Anonymous No.6945232]

This will probably end up getting tweaked some more (the character wears headphones that I haven't made yet, and the convention is almost two months away,) but I'm pretty happy with the bang fluff.

Something like 10 days to con and this is all I've got so far. I didn't realize how long it would take me to put like 10 layers of gesso on everything and sand it down. Took me until today to realize how much faster it was to wet sand the gesso.. I feel stupid. The untainted pieces still need a few more coats and a good sanding, and instill need to attach all the belts, add in the shading and details, etc. I hope I can speed sew because this is moving at a snail's pace.

On the bright side, the nickel spray paint color is really pretty!
