Been slowly but steadily working on a Sailor Uranus cosplay for otakon! I need to adjust that one snap in the armor that's bunching, but otherwise the main fuku part (minus the brooch) is done! Next is making the gloves/accessories/boot covers.

I've never sewn this much spandex in my life so I'm glad I haven't hecked up too bad (yet)

Nice! Would you mind sharing how you did the rolls on the base of the shirt and sleeves?

Also what is the breast piece made of?

>> No.8353910

>>8353828
Thanks! The hip rolls are stuffed with polyfil, and the sleeve rolls were made with the green couch foam w/ a layer of batting over top to hide the green colour. I've been using this tutorial as a base: http://sparklepipsi.com/tutorials/SparklePipsi_FukuTutorial.pdf and modifying it as needed.

The breast piece is just a 2nd layer of spandex w/ a layer of fleece. Sewed them right sides together (minus the back), turned it inside out, pressed it, and sewed the back up!

So worked more on sewing. Bags are harder then I thought and.. the fabric was so hard to keep together as it was thick.. broke a needle.

It constantly needs ironing so it isn't ironed in this picture. Waiting for my blonde wig to come so I can style it for the Helga Pataki costume and fix a bow for it.

I took these fucking photos in the morning but then the downtime and real life happened. I also need better camera and proper full-length mirror.

I think that the mask is complete in a sense that I won't be adding anything new on it. I will be having a field day with nail polish remover and scrub all gluestains off. But who knows, I may have to redo something at one point. I noticed that one of the tubes is starting to get off. Not sure about the robes either. They don't look half-bad for being two cheap rain ponchos, one of which is literally wrapped around my waist. I'm a cheap bastard and those looked fitting. At least I still have a week left before the con for adjustments.

But my BIGGEST fear is that I'll pass out in the con. It's summer, after all, and I'll be wearing gas mask and plastic robes. It's gonna be hot as balls. Gotta bring backpack full of water bottles.

Making slow but steady progress on Homura. I'm not 100% happy with the skirt--I honestly might end up totally remaking it, but I'm not sure. I swear the pleats are different in every piece of reference material.

Happy with the undershirt, though! Now to draft the weird collar for the over shirt...

Missed this in the catalog :') here's ghostrick witch skirt (I'll be finishing this later in August for a con in September) and Hestia, I'll hopefully be wearing her at MCM and making her coat if I can scrape some more money together

Going to post like three pictures. Sorry guys.

Just finishing up a Shepard's journal for a commission. Oh man, it's going to be hard to let go of. :/ Gotta finish staining it, and put the little yellow dot on one side.
