(HEY JANITOR, this is serious you ass. I can't sew for SHIT and I don't even know what fabrics to use. I'm asking for help!)
So for this year's Halloween my two younger sisters want me to help them dress as Patchouli and Cirno. And I'll be damned if there is a more fitting characterization of them. The older of the two is smart, loves books and time indoors (rarely leaving her room aside from school, TV, gaming with me, and meals) and is absolutely terrible at anything and everything athletic. The younger of the two is a hyper energetic moron who thinks she knows everything when in actuality her day-to-day intelligence makes frogs seem smart. She does however love the outdoors and runs around the neighborhood playing with all the other ⑨-balls of the area.

Anyways, any thoughts on how I can go about getting their costumes put together? I'm thinking of calling up a few gamer chicks I knew from school, they'd be more then willing to throw themselves at the chance to dress up someone, anyone, in a costume they designed. (One even managed to get me into an Eliza Faust dress a couple years back, oh god, THE HORROR! Halloween 2006 has been banned from my existence. )

Pic related, what would I need to make one of those for em?

11 & 13, not exactly the best at tailoring. Drawing on the other hand, they rock at. Yeah, sure, anyone can draw better then ZUN, but his stuff looks like innocent doodles compared to theirs. But that's offtopic. No, they can't do it themselves, not alone.

I said I don't have a fucking scanner, how can I do that? (Well, to be honest, I said I didn't upload it. But I don't have a scanner hooked up atm and my father just got back into town from a week of trucking and is crashed on the couch outside my temporary room, so I can't go unhooking the thing from the study now can I? Hell, tell you what. They tableted, photoshopped, gimped, and MSPainted most of it so I'll grab you guys the image files tomorrow or Sunday. But be warned, it's most definitely a bit trippy, specially the ones involving symbolism. Flandre makes a very strange bible if you ask me.

Do you know how to sew anything? Anything at all? No? Then how do you expect me to teach you over the internet. Cirno's outfit is the most easy basic pattern I could imagine making. If you don't know enough to even make that you're screwed. The best thing you could do is simply find someone to show you basics.

Sewing is more about cutting than it is about stitching. You can always pull stitches out but if it's cut wrong you've got nothing to work with. Just find someone who can show you basics and stop bothering us.

If you can't sew, I don't recommend getting into full fledged attires for now. It will end up looking amateur and embarrassing, like so many cosplay shots that people want to unsee afterward.
Once you get a hang of the basics of using a sewing machine, it's pretty easy. You just have to go looking for the correct fabrics that fit the design better (Always check the texture and weight, see how it behaves.)
The rest is just drawing up a good pattern, which is the hardest part. Visualize what is needed, and how to split in a way that allows you to put it back in a proper way.

Look in google for tutorials not only from the crafts women-oriented sites, but from cosplay sites. Guides on how to make a good bow, get a decent stitch that won't leave your sisters nude on the street, and picking fabrics are plentiful, so look around, waste a few weekends on learning on your own instead of asking random people on the internet.

Good luck man, and be sure to enjoy it. Sewing can be a manly activity, one that requires not only patience and skills, but creativity and spatial cognition. Lesser men will give up, but they'd miss out on the satisfaction of seeing someone happy wearing what you made out of raw materials.

Whoa, dude, that really helps, thanks! The manliness justification was an interesting bit of info, but that doesn't cause me concern. I'm a geek at heart and I don't really give a shit what people think of me. Besides, I've already been laid a couple times, what more is there to do in life? (Just kiddin pals, I'm not really that shallow. You can expect the pitter patter of little anonymous feet around 2018. College, then fatherhood. ZING!)

But yeah, that info will help. Thank you anonymous, you actually seemed to care. Random people on the internet rule.

-Because I can.
