Hibike Skirt !

I've mostly been an unproductive anime watching blob this weekend so not much progress ;v;

I went to japantown in SF and got some cute stuff and sewing notions! And dango! 


And I did a teeny amount of work on the skirt. Last time I tried sewing the pieces together and then pleating it, and that didn't line up very evenly, so this time I'm pleating it first and then sewing on the yellow to the white



I also cut out the facing for the top!

40 hours of work a week is hard OTL

Hibike cosplay !

hibike is really gay and kumiko is my sweet baby weenie <3 and i've pretty much wanted to cosplay hibike ever since i saw that incredibly gay ED wowie ;v;
my friend megan said if i was going to be a giant ween, she might as well be best girl (;_;) , so she's cosplaying asuka with me!

i planned on cosplaying kumiko to AX, but didn't finish in time, and have generally been really lazy since. During AX I split a badge with a friend and spent a lot of time in the manga room and under the main foyer, cutting the fabric, ironing bias tape (with a hair iron ;v;), and hand sewing the skirt
 
we're planning on making the band uniforms!
the white fabric I had was super shitty and thin, so I had to double layer it and when i got back from AX i decided the white fabric looked way too gross, so Megan and I went and got more. I undid all the sewing i did over AX a while ago (cry for days) and I just cut more pieces out of slightly nicer white fabric. Most of it's was patterned already (yay), and I wasn't planning on adding facing for the top, but i think that'd be the best way to finish the edge for the armholes, so I'm planning on patterning and cutting that out later today!

cut pieces!
megan and I recently got a bunch of buttons as well! the woodland joanns has terrible stock and didn't have enough gold buttons, so we got a giant pack of green ones on clearance and a small bottle of gold paint -v-

after work, if i don't dissolve into a pile of goo and just watch anime on the couch for until monday, i'm going to try to finish the skirt! my wife alison will be coming over for queer girl movie night, so after, hopefully, we can force each other to be productive <3
i love hibike a lot

Yo!


hi guys!
2 years later-- time to pick up the blog again!
my idea this time around is more of an online journal or daily log to make me stay on track for cosplays ;v;

reading old things i wrote always makes me cringe a little so please read everything before this post knowing i was a wee high schooler and everything after this post knowing i'm a lazy college student
