Okay, so no wire. Got it, but, is there any kind of specific material that I should (or shouldn't) use?

A-20

Floral wire should work, but I don't think you even need it. For the ears, cut a wide triangle (you'll be folding it in half) of fur for his ears, and a triangle of the same size of a thinner, darker fabric for the inside. You can sew the two together on the /\ edges, but not on the bottom. Now fol...

Is there a specific type of wire or material (for the ears) I should use? Or does it not really matter?

Oh, here's a pic of my original character, done by Tooaya from Gaia:

I need some help on making paws for a costume. I don't have a clue how to start out on making them, nor what materials I will need. Here's a pic of the cat-boy I wanna go as: http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/2285/plum8ot.png Any ideas on how to make his kitty ears as well? I've never made anythin'...

Okay, now it's down to two (okay, three. I can't choose! ^^;; )
Help, please?

Anyone know how to make a good Shinsengumi outfit? Here are some pics: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/Pikagal18/Shinsengumi.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/Pikagal18/Peace%20Maker/Souji_Battle_attire.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/Pikagal18/Peace%20Maker/shinsengumi_gr...

Ok, thanks for your input, babii_kagome ^_^

A-20

Ok, I'm ba-ack~! My friend is thinkin' of goin' to the convention too and she needs some help figurin' out who she could go as. She is only about 5' 3" and has short frizzy, uncontrolable hair is she's always filled with energy. Um... I can post a pic of her later when I get home if someone wants to...

A-20

*nods* Yes yes. Blame the needle.

I think maybe this weekend I'll see if I can go to Wal-Mart or the bookstore and see if I can find any good books on sewing and such.
Already asked my friend if I could borrow her sewing book, but she never answered if it was a "yes" or a "no". ~.~

A-20

don't watch the needle while sewing except when you slow down to get around corners or something. Watching the needle go up & down will "hypnotize" you, and you'll quickly veer off path. ^^ (*has fallen victim to hypnotic needle numerous times*) Wow. Wish I knew that when making my pillow ^^;;;; I ...

A-20

So make a pillow case instead? All right.
I'll check Walden Books the next time I go there (which is who knows when). I'll probably forget though. ^^;; I only look at manga books when I go there.

A-20

Heh...Kitty got hit with snow! XD YAY! *doesn't like cats*

A-20

I didn't mean I'd wear it to school. No way would my school allow that. And no way I'd wear Kuja's clothes to school O_o I just wanted to know which people thought I should wear and most replied similar to a guy named Nathan at my school: "You should dress as the guy in blue (Zidane) since that is m...

A-20

So basically try making shirts and shorts first and simple stuff like that? Sewing book, hm? Guess I'll check out Wal-Mart next time I go there see if they have any sewing books and what-not. ^_^

Thanks everyone.

A-20

Well, I guess that'd work then, eh? ^^ Just the problem with the glue... ^^;;

Oy, warning, don't ask anyone at school who you should go as to an anime convention if they don't really like anime. They'll look at you like you're crazy and say "You're going to wear that!?" ~.~

A-20

Preferably both hand sewing and machine. I really suck at both, so it'd probably be best if I tried to improve both.

The only thing I've made is a pillow and I don't even remember where that is...I think I hid it because it turned out so horrible. ^^;;;

A-20

lol. You guys are silly :P And quick question, Fialchar. Do you even have the same color hair as I do? Funny...I looked at your pictures and immediately thought you looked like some video game character I'd seen before...it was really bothering me until I looked closer at that picture of Kuja...I th...

A-20

*puts hat on* Hey!

A-20

Hm...I see. That's odd. I guess girl's hair does grow faster. ^^;

A-20

I see. Do you get it trimmed/cut often?

A-20

Ok, I think it's about time I attempt to start working on my sewing skills, since they are basically non-existant. The last time I did any sewing was in 8th grade (two years ago) and I made a very crappy pillow. I only remember how to use the sewing machine and sew buttons (not well, might I add). D...

A-20

Well...may I ask how long you've been growing your hair out?

A-20

Wigs are evil. Really? That'd take awhile to grow out that long. My hair won't be long enough for Kuja in a year, but I'll see how long it gets by then. It's already to my shoulders. And I can change my hair color for the cosplay :P Now I just need to work on my sewing skills, work on saving my mone...

A-20

You're welcome.^^

Hm...I wonder if my parents would let me change my hair color for the cosplay...
I also need to grow my hair out if I'm gonna be Kuja. I hate wearing wigs.They are so itchy. ><

A-20

I vote for Yomi. ^_^

A-20

I have some cookies...want a cookie as a prize? ^^ *holds out cookie*

A-20

I put a poll up. I didn't realize we could do that ^^;;; Boy, what a lot of attention I pay to things. ~.~;;;

A-20

That's funny. ^^

A-20

Twinkies? ^^;

A-20

"youther"?

So you like the Zidane piccy,armya?

A-20

^^;;; Really?
Thanks.^^ Most people don't like my hair. ~.~

Ah, don't worry about it. I don't blame ya. I don't really look like any character. ^^;;

Thanks Sakis ^_^

A-20

All right. ^_^ Thanks, Fialchar. ^^ Looks like Lyserg and Kuja are on the top of my list.

If ya think of any others, let me know, okay?

A-20

Ok, here are three pics of me, just taken. >.>;;;

And in which way are you out of it?

That's what I thought, but wasn't sure.

I'm sleepy *yawns* I'll go get a pic, hang on.

A-20

Photo of what? (Sorry, I'm sorta out of it right now ~.~)

A-20

Hm...All right. I suppose Kuja it is. ^_^ Just to figure out how to make it will be a hassle, oh well. One must find something to do. ^^;

Any other ideas of who I should go as?

A-20

Oh wow~! You guys, I need some major help. I don't know who to go as to the con next year and there are so many to choose from! ~.~ So far I have the ideas of going as: -Lyserg -Jin the Wind Master -Hajime Leafe Knight of Water -Possibly Shigure Sohma from Fruits Basket (Misty wants me to go as him)...

Awww...it was such an awsome pic too

A-20

That would make an awsome costume.

A-20

Imo I think people of all ages should cosplay if they really want to.Just don't be creepy about it. I don't mind people like guys wearing skirts,I just agree with Rin-sama in a sense they shouldn't act creepy.

A-20

Ok, just a quick question. I came up with yet another idea for a costume. ^^;;;; I don't know which I should concentrate on making. Farfie's costume or Max from DC2's costume. Here's a pic of him, let me know what y'all think. This one was found off the net: http://www.pulpfilm.com/reviews_engine/up...

A-20

Ok,thanks! Those are some great ideas. I think I'll be able to modify it just enough to make it not so crappy. ^^;;

A-20

Seam ripper? I can always check my mom's sewing stuff to see if she has anything I can use..

A-20

Ok, I got an idea just to save me some money and possibly time. Last year for Halloween,I made a crappy Farfarello costume, and well,I figured I could just go ahead and fix it up better,but I don't exactly how to fix it. I can get better pants,shoes, and accessories easily enough.But his shirt,that ...

A-20

Hmm...well, you could try leggings or flared pants and a peasant-style blouse with the big sleeves. That could look cute. It might be hard to find them in pink in juniors or ladies sizes, but you never know. The only way to get Morphine's exact outfit would be to make the entire thing from scratch,...

A-20

Is there anything you recommend for the pants/outfit besides pajama bottoms,like you have done, and a disco type thing or a unitard...though I could ask my dad where my neice takes ballet lessons to see if I could buy one from them or something. ^^;;; I doubt I'd find anything like that around here....

A-20

Heehee. I made a Morphine costume last year. It was for my daughter so I made it shirt and pants instead of jumpsuit. You could alter a dress like your friend said, but you're also right in thinking it would be troublesome to figure out. For the least sewing, you'd have to find a flouncy outfit sim...

Oh, here are some pictures of her.

Yes, you kind of do sound like a mom, but nothin' wrong with that. (I don't think. ^^;; ) I have another question though,Mrs.Tomoe. But its not about the Len costume. I still have to try to convince my mom to help me with that,or at least help me get the materials (the right ones). I was wondering i...
