Every hour..

Right, so I am aware that I stated that I wasn't going to be making anymore costumes for Anime Boston 2012 buut I did start another. Now I know what your thinking... this girl has way to more time on her hands. Your right. 100% correct.

My firend is going as Yuna from FFX and she is going to look amazing! The costume is sooo well done, she has been working her little bum off to finish but its amazing! I think it was last weekend or maybe longer then that.. but she asked if I would do a Rikku outfit and to have our other friend be Lulu.

At the time I still hadn't finished my assassin's creed costume, so I said maybe next year or when I have time.. looking back on that I really do have to laugh at myself. I have tons of free time and that is why the apartment is so well kept. haha.

I started Rikku about a week ago and I've only spent about $20 so far but I think I have all the materials I'm gonna need. .. yeah I think the belt might need some $$ but if my plan comes together I would need to purchase anything else. Plus no wig need for this costume, blonde hair! Alrightly then! Time to start sewing! I'm using this photo as my base.

I've already made the two back pieces, the leg holster and the feathers. I just started the shorts pattern... I've never made shorts before.. and I've never worn short shorts out in public before.. hell I've never worn them! Goggles I have just need to paint out some red marks. Boots I have but making boot covers for them (so I can re-use them for another costume if needed).

The long glove on her right hand I might need to go out and buy some new material...oh and buckles I'll need buckles.. so yes this might be done for boston...

darn it! why do I have so many costumes!!



Sweat Shop

The sewing circle / mini sweat shop as I like to call it went well yesterday! Nearly seven hours of staright sewing...and well we did kinda of get off track with some wedding mags buut it was only for abit! No one is gettin' married but we love looking at all the dresses and cakes! So pretty!!

Okay so I really like the photos of Howl

When we are at Anime Boston I do plan on wrapping my chest so I appear more boy-like. But for now I guess these photo are of female Howl. haha! I really enjoyed working on the jewerly for this costume, I'll have to take a close up of the necklace, earrings, and ring! I'm suer impressed with the blue jewel on the necklace OH! and Calcifer too! He came out great and it only took me about ten mintues to throw him together!

And here is Maria Thorpe from Aassassin's Creed.

I know the collars are all sorts of fluffy? Wrinkled? I do plan on putting some interfacing on the back of them just so they both sit flat on my collar bone... other then that I just need to keep working on that darn hair style. I love braids but I'm never done one all the way around my head before, I've been spending much of my free time on Youtube watching videos on 'how to' when it comes to this hair style. I'll get the hang of it!!   >:3

I don't think I'm gonna attempt to make any more costumes for Anime Boston ... but you never know we still have some time.





Find a deep cave to hide in...

Greeting!

Wow, I can't believe its already March and St. Patty's day is right around the cornor! Time is just flyin' by these days! Plus anime boston is next month, I still havn't re-reged yet but I'm hoping to do that today after I get paid. Oh the market has been crazy oh late! But I won't bore you with details the important thing is that I have a job that pays me somewhat well.

Okay, update on the costumes!! So in the last post I showed the Howl well I've been working my little bum off to get all the little things done and I'm just about finished with the necklace. I'll take photos of it all on next time.

Calcifer LIVES!!! Exciting huh? I also added little arms that I can put on and take off, wicked cheap to make just some 34 cent felt I got at Jo-Ann's fabric and left over buttons for the bottom. You know to add some weight to him.

What else... OH I'm bringing another costume with me! So as I hope all of you know the lastest Assassin's Creed is coming out in Oct 2012 and this girl couldn't be happier!!! Buut I wanted to do more of the characters from the other two games before I start working on Connor's assassin garb for the boyfriend. (Fuck Yeah I'm making it!!)

AC 3 trailer Connor!!!!!

Thats right! Go watch it! Watch it over and over again!

Right so I started and I'm almost finished with a Maria Thorpe outfit.

I only took photos of the arm bracers and the belts but everything is done. Tho I'm not dying my hair brown for this... my hair is like a dirty blonde so that will have to do.  Hope there will be a few Altairs at Anime Boston this year! mahahahaa!

Well I'm off! ta-ta for now everyone!
