So cute! For the wolf, you can attach a larger wig comb to the back with the teeth facing the front to make it stay put. Add a little spray of got to be glued hairspray just before putting it on and that little guy won’t budge. Also, for the ribbon stitching, I’m not sure how much time you had to work on this, but I recommend, instead of cutting smaller pieces and sewing them, you can stitch buttonholes where you want the ribbon to come out or go in and just thread the ribbon throughout the seam. It takes a very long time but looks so so good when it’s done.
I totally understand only you being able to see your mistakes. I had it happen onece where I made a six cleeves cosplay and everyone loves it but I kept thinking about the mistakes. Honestly having people say they love my cosplay has helped me focus on the positives of it as well as what I can improve 🥰
For backweighting the wolf, if you ever feel like going back to it, I’d highly recommend poly pellets! They’re very dense compared to stuffing, but still feel relatively pleasant after the body has been properly filled. Just bear in mind that they are *very messy*. Get yourself a funnel and pour them in very carefully, because they will get everywhere otherwise.
Hi! I loved ur cosplay sm 😭😭 I am pretty young, and I wanna get into cosplay and be able to create and design my own actual cosplay outfits. Do you have any idea on how I get started on it? Art, Opening my own cat cafe and fashion have always been a deep interest in mine. I practice drawing and currently am doing body proportions, as I can draw which I’ve been told by my family and friends, I just want to take it a step further!! Anyways. Do you know where and how I should start with clothing? Do I study it? Or did you just learn off of tutorials? If you see this, thank you so much!! The cosplay is so cute and have a wonderful day!!
As someone who cosplays/sews her own cosplays, knows how to article edit, and knows how to do motion graphics in after effects. The amount of work you put in a single article outside of the fact that you’re making a crazy detailed and amazing cosplay is ABSOLUTELY INSANE AND VERY APPRECIATED. I’m also a visual learner so the motion graphics are beautifully done. You deserve more subscribers!!
3 months late BUT I am perusal your Miku series as I finish up a big original design build for Scaramouche! A LOT of painting and embroidery work right now, so your articles have been nice to have playing while I slowly work through it! Congrats on your Miku win by the way- I could not be more thrilled for you after following you on insta for years 💖
This skirt is so magnificent ??? You made such a great job bringing it alive 😔💖💖 contrary to some people, I’m part of the people who do not craft in front of your articles because I want to focus and be sure to understand everything you explain !! (Definitely not going to forget that cross grain x ruffles before a while) Excited to see you work on the rest 🍓❤
I just discovered your website and I’ve been obsessed with how this cosplay is turning out! Its so motivating — you explain everything super well, so its awesome for a sewing newbie like me who gives up easy and doesnt know why things arent working 60% of the time 🤣💙 I also love all the detail you put into making your cosplays, as that’s the main reason I wanted to make my own costumes to begin with. Its so rewarding to see how cool all the details look in the end even if they are a major pain to do (I am mainly an artist, I feel the agony) That’s to say, thank you for this article! I cant wait to follow along for more 💙💙💙
You make sewing seem like an actual reachable goal for me And that’s saying a lot as I beat myself up on stuff I felt like I could “never do” before because people would laugh at my dreams….. But after kicking those people out my life I think I’m going to make a sort of dream board for goals And it’s going to be all cosplay related. Like 1) learn to sew 2) style a wig 3) make a jacket 4) make or style thrifted shoes 5) learn cosplay makeup Etc etc perusal your articles seems so realistic in the sense if you were a teacher you’d probably be a little awkward around the edges (aren’t we all) but everyone’s favorite teacher to get after class time with to be tutored and mentored because your advice is actually helpful and if we fail then whatever, just roll with the punches and learn from it which is the attitude I should have rather than letting it deter me from said goals
It is crazy to think you posted this five months ago and were thinking your viewers for 4000 subscribers. As of perusal this on March 3, 2023 you are less than 4000 away from 100,000 followers it is 100% earned and I hope you are incredibly proud of yourself. Your content is interesting informative, instructional, and entertaining, it’s impressive that you pack all of that into a single website I am so glad that I found your website. Thank you so much and congrats on the success!
I don’t sew but I would really like to one day and your articles really inspire me. The idea of you being able to transform fabric, beads and other simple materials into an astonishingly complicated dress/cosplay really amazes me! I learned quite a couple of things too, especially with the grain and cross graining. Thank you so much for the article!
For future reference, a trick Ive seen from old Dior gowns is that skirts and petticoats were sewn on yokes before it was attached to the waistband to minimize bulk because of pleats and gathers and when the dress or skirt closes with a zipper, only the exterior is sew while the under layers have the opening sewn with bias tape or ribbon then using thread bars (I think thats what its called) to the zipper at the bottom of the zipper to keep it secure while keeping the movement. When I was working with Eclipsa Butterfly, my design had a built in organza petticoat that had a yoke for the inside and it was only tacked to the side seams of the outer skirt waistband which was closed with a series of hooks and eyes and bars and the petticoats closed with hooks and bars which is super heavy and hard to store because its so thick and it gets its own storage box because the petticoat is built in. The skirt I made is basically an 1880s bustle dress so it had an underskirt and an over skirt which has been attached to one side seam with the over skirt being hooked on the waistband with a plethora of hooks and bars to hide the closures and the gaping back opening since I didnt use a zipper at all. Does that make sense? It made sense to me when I made it and tried explaining it.
the purring bobtail kitty is so cute😭baby moment HEEHOO this entire article was so informative and well put together, I’m super lowkey into cosplay and I’ve never made my own costume fully, but i hope to get better with time and I’ll make sure to keep your website close to refer to! you obviously know what your doing and you put so much love into it easy and fun to watch <33
ive been perusal your entire miku cosplay series and it’s mindblowing!!!!! your dedication and skill are literally so admirable – im a fashion major but a beginner sewer so perusal these has really helped me file away some ideas for future projects that don’t feature “conventional” designs (aka huge bows!!!!) thank you sm i can’t wait to watch more!!!
You dancing around in the finished skirt at the end made me laugh so hard. Also, that sneakily hidden pocket was such a good idea. I love how it turned out, even with the satin issue. With the sheer amount of detail and materials required, having that turn out a bit off isn’t a big deal, and to most people, it isn’t even going to be all that noticeable. I’m learning machine sewing on a couple of old Kenmores, and with just the one article, I’ve learned quite a bit (how long I retain it is another issue entirely). You explain things beautifully.
I was just recommended your website, and can I say– this is so great to listen to while working on my own creative projects! I’m a huge Miku stan and I really appreciate the way you applied your sewing expertise to this cosplay!! The skirt looks amazing — time for me to binge the rest of the articles to see the final result!! 🤩✨I’m definitely going to share your website with my mom, too– she’ll love it!! 🥰
I am not always the best at sowing but I find it so fun to watch you make your cosplays that I keep trying. I am a kid and I like making things that are a bit smaller like bags and you make me think of new things and I think that you are absolutely incredible and inspiring, I’m so exited to see what else you make!
Watching your articles has inspired me to start making my own cosplays. I have watched that Miku articles over and over because I plan on making one of my own. I have also been working on an illumi cosplay while perusal your articles and some of them have helped me work out imperfections in my patterns so thank you. I love the content you create and please keep up the good work. You’re doing amazing.
as a teen, i tried to make my own cosplays. i had BIG plans but i was never able to finish any for myself. i always got stuck and never able to finish in time while also helping my friends for years in a row. because of that, i got so burnt out of cosplaying and cosplay making for years. perusal u document ur progress though, u trying and succeeding in some and failing in others then showing how u fixed it or just coming to terms with it not being the best, but its fine? its lighting the spark back in me. the hidden pocket part got me so excited actually like my god what a GENIUS MOVE! I HATE having to lug around a bag just for my phone and wallet. i have a lot to learn, but this is reminding me of the passion i had and the things i wanted to create. so thank you so so much for recording these cosplay progress articles and uploading them!!
I am inspired by you but I am quite younge so don’t have much money but I really like performing and I have cosplayed but with clothes I have ( not made by me) but I really extremely want to make my own cosplay but don’t know how to start so hopefully you can give me some tips as a beginner and love your work it’s amazing
Here’s my tip for ruffles (and I went to fashion school, plus I have almost 20 years of experience, I’m not talking out of my ass): one gather stitch is not enough. For the best results, you do one gather stitch about 2mm above where your seam is going and then another gather stitch 2mm below where your seam is going. It gathers the fabric more evenly and it lays flat, which makes sewing the seam a lot more easy. Yes, that is double the work in the beginning, but ultimately you have to fuss with it less and it turns out way prettier.
I use to listen to your cosplay articles in a loop while making my own cosplays, I’m trying to do a full calne ca with just cardboard and a full meltdown rin with a mini portable sewing machine, and all I have to say it’s thank you. You inspire me so much, it’s heartwarming, I would really like to be as good as you one day! Thank you Sarah, or all your kind words and the always amazing works you bring to us, you may not know it, but there’s always a small cosplayer like me learning how to sew with your articles, thank you.
I’m so excited that you’re making this cosplay I love this Miku so much 😭 I only still don’t really get how you hid the hoopskirt with the lining tho, is it like half a lining now? only on the bottom? and how does it connect to the part of the skirt that goes to the middle front? My visualisation skills are leaving me behind 😅
You talking about how satin works in this article is a funny coincidence to me, because im listening to this article while cutting satin for the cape/wings on my cosplay! Which is my first time ever using satin! And also my first ever big sewing project. We make good decisions here. No one told me how annoying it is to pin a pattern to the fabric youre cutting lmao
i see that majora’s mask wallpaper! Fire article by the way. The finished project looks INSANE. its absolutely amazing. i love perusal process of making a cosplay because it makes me comforted that my work is not that hard to do lol. Expecially that i dont have a sewing machine and i do everything manually.
not working on a cosplay (i’m not a cosplayer) BUT i’m perusal several of your articles (the Miku x Strawberry sagaaa!!!) while crocheting some pieces. already finished the shell of a purse, a pair of socks and a scarf. you seem like a very kind person (also hella skilled in many aspects), perusal your articles is very pleasant ^^
The grain directions disappearing and reappearing in time with the music was a great touch! I’m hoping your explanation helps the terms stick, as English is my second language so I sort of want to learn the same info and apply it to my two spoken languages, so if one sticks, I can try to get the second one too! And maybe show my mom so she learns too. I’ll have to look at your other informational articles too, since you’re so good at explaining things!
I definitely understand your perfectionism and being unhappy with messing something up this way. That said, this skirt looks absolutely amazing, both from front and back 🙂 I can’t imagine most of people seeing this noticing that anything is amiss – I definitely can’t, even though you explained exactly what is the problem. Great work!
There is SO much effort put into editing and explaining. I LOVE it. You are doing an AMAZING job. This is the first article I’m seeing of your website and it’s an immediate subscribe. It’s making me really want to get back into cosplay and also just sewing in general. I have no clue about any of it but I’ve always wanted to try.
I’m just getting into sewing (most ambitious things I’ve done is tailor a too-large dress down for myself, make Sylveon ribbons and ears with removable bows, and make a pose-able Leafeon tail) for cosplay, and your articles make me want to try harder and go all-out. The satin explanation was fascinating! It’ll be such a big help knowing that information going forward. 🙂
I’ve been into fashion lately (and trying to make it become my career now) and this reminds me of my best friend’s dream of me cosplaying as Miku. (which Miku? I am not sure. But I know her look reminds me of candy/sweets.) And coming into one of their classes and just giving them chocolate-covered strawberries. It’s been a year since that dream but I am hell-bent on making it come true for them because y’not. This article inspired me and makes me want to do fashion even more now. ʚ(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )ɞ
Instead of using horsehair for the hem of the circle skirt (or any future gathered skirts) maybe you could put fishing line into the hem instead? I saw Bella Mae’s Designs do that for the ruffles of her Cinderella dress’ petticoat and it worked really well. I don’t know if it will work with a heavier fabric than organza but I thought I’d suggest it just in case ^^ Also just wanted to say I’ve been binging your website for the past few hours and really loving it! You do amazing work and put so much effort into everything, from the cosplays themselves to your graphics and filming. I can’t wait to watch everything you’ve posted! ^^
wow you’re extremely knowledgable in sewing OMGG, i dont cosplay but im very interested in making my own clothes/going in to fashion school. im learning so much and everything is explained so well! im so curious though, have you taken any sewing/fashion classes in collage or uni? or are you self taught?
I have been perusal your articles for hours and I am just so charmed by everything. You, your work, your mannerisms, the teaching moments, everything. You are such a treat to watch, I keep smiling and laughing to myself, exclaiming in amazement when I learn something new. Thank you for sharing your passion with the internet.
Honestly, i am so happy that you got more viewers and are growing with every article! I sew too, not that complicated stuff like you are doing, more basic stuff like pillow cases and bags. Also i am currently working in a fabric store and i love that i can lern the english terms trough your articles, since i can use them when we habe customers who can not speak our mother tongue and communicate with me in english. Also i did learn graphic design and i feel so big nostalgia when i see you using Illustrator and other Porgamms like that. I love perusal your articles, it kinda calms me down and helps me concentrate. You are a truly inspiring person!
