Started work on Lisa's Chopper, Neko's Robin pants, and Cricket's Conis wig today. Got a good amount accomplished, though no actual sewing as of yet.
WOOOOOOT!! That's awesome Youshi!!! I'm about to dye my hands yellow :D YEAH!!!!!!!! XDDDD I wonder if I should style the wig like.. later though cause I don't want to mess up the dye job x_x;; guhhh such a wig noob.
Dye the wig FIRST, let it dry according to the directions, and THEN style it! =3

Oh so that's why you trek all the way over from your place even though you too have a garage/backyard. I suppose I have the sewing machine though…
I might secretly spray that bastard wig anyways.. shifty eyes

that's why i enjoy living half way across the country :) not going to my highschool reunion either. ththththtthththth to my old classmates.
um, you guys have a garage. your not allowed to die the wig in there? what if you go get a big basin and put plastic garbage bags over your work area?
hey youshi, why are you sewing neko's robin pants? can't you guys just go look for something at a thrift store? that just seems like a lot of work.
They bought a pair of purple pants at JC Penny. She has to turn them into capris and then dye them to make them a darker purple.
She started my conis wig yesterday. I'm glad she can do something with it. When I got it, I put it on and immediately thought redneck trailer trash. LOL
It'll be cute though.
oh so she's not doing them from scratch. that's good.

Not just that. It's also less reprimanding and more coaching from you.
It almost here!!!!! cant wait!!!!!
I can wait. I'm starting to feel the cosplay crunch. Ugh.
Even though I'm only making two new costumes for myself.
I want to cry. XD
OH man.. if we could JUST get ONE thing completely completed, I would feel sooo much better XD we have bits and pieces done, but nothing completely done xDDD Hopefully in the next two weeks.. oh snap.. that's soooo damn close XD
@Youshi:
I want to cry. XD
chants "GO YOUSHI GO! GO YOUSHI GO"
Finished Robin's shoes. Conis wig has one antenna drying, and the wefts for the second one are currently caulked and drying.
About to finish Calgara wings and hem Robin pants. Next will be sewing Chopper together.
I've been rather slow on progress.. Got too many things going at once, not all cosplay related. And then there is work. Ugh. So tired.
But anyway, I'm about halfway done with Calgara's spear and I just need to dye and add the wrapping to the hilt of Law's sword. As well as the orange cording on the sheath. Then I can finish up Norland's sword, as well as the designs on Conis' dress and Robin's shirt.
Oh and we still gotta style Calgara's hair. =3
man you guys are hard core. tell crickey to be camera man. we need some pictures of all this stuff.
Guys Ten Days O____o Omfg
guh, don't say that >< I'm not ready yet. now I feel like freaking out lol thank god today is a holiday here in canada. I don't know if i would finish if not.
Augh, not long enough! Thankfully I got a good amount of work done yesterday. Conis' wig is almost done, her dress just needs two more snaps for the wings to be mountable, and she needs her sandals. Ron's belt is 50% done and her arm band needs to be done and she is complete. Chopper is DONE!
Calgara still has the most that needs to be done of everything. The body suit is about, oh, 70% done. It needs a few more muscles and then we can coat it with latex and makeup. Not to mention the zipper and snaps.
Poor Calgara. So neglected over there.
oh no! you have to get your own cosplay done! please by all means, but the chopper tank top together and put the arm/leg bands aside. I can still be chopper without them, but you have to get your costume done! hell, I'm sure I can get away with jsut my brown tank if I have to. please get your costume done.
CU: Your Chopper is all done, and it looks very very cute. She'll get her's done. Don't worry. I've watched Charli and our friend Jacque make the body suit, it is really interesting to watch. Charli's gonna be the buffest man there. LOL
i thought you were at work ^_^ lunch time? I wish I was there to watch. I learned so much just helping my friend sew my vest for me. I cut and pinned things badly and it made it hard for her to sew, and we had to go back and fix things. lol
I finished the skirt, I think. gotta put velcro on the tube top, and finish the barrettes. I cut out a plastic white lid and glued it to the actual barrettes. now, should I make the red beads with clay and paint and glue them, or just paint red dots on the plastic. hmmm. :)
I'm still dumbfounded as to how I'm putting of my Luffy cosplay, despite how easy it is.
I think I get that cosplayer's high and/or like to procrastinate. XD
I checked more stuff off my list but there's still so much to get done Dx having Lynn for the last several days was a god send ;____; she helped me out so much and I know it's STUPID but I didn't know how to do a rivet or a snap so now I think I could do one without you know… screwing up completely xD;
still gotta tinker with model magic x__x; damn you Kidd goggles!!!! I want you to look amazing but I doubt I'm capable of it >__<; and good luck Youshi ;3; I know you can do it!!
So Nadia is "technically" done. Though, the tube top is hanging lower than the vest at the back. Gonna have to get some kind of band and wrap it around the bra or something to hold it up higher.
And I was so concerned about making the skirt big so it would hide my butt, that it is too wide. I made it as 2 separate pieces, and the sides overlap. I think I might just do some creative folding and pinning, if I can get someone to help me with that down there.
OMG I so wish I had time to find the gold bands for her neck. My neck looks so bare.
!
I'm pretty sure Charli will be able to help you with it since she's the pro! I'm sure she'll be able to fix it asap when you arive, she's pretty quick when it comes to altering and getting things sewn together, so don't worry about it! She's a genius!
OH MY GOD.. it's SOOOO CRUNCH TIME NOW
charli has enough to do. I'm not gonna bother her with my problems. I'll see what i can do. I just need a break from cosplay. i've been working on it all weekend. It didn't look that bad when i fiddled with it. We can just laugh at my first cosplay I did all by myself from scratch.
=_= URGFHLKSDNSL!!! can't get model magic to cooperate I need to make the square lenses for Kidds goggles Dx UGH!!!!!! I don't want them to look getto Dx
hope everyone else is getting along alright x_x;
I'm sure Charli wouldn't mind helping out some xD But if you'd rather get it all done yourself, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that either ^^
OH GOD.. it's sooo damn close ___ I CAN'T WAIT to meet all the new peeps and see some friends I haven't seen in OVER A YEAR T____________T
Dude, Lisa. I do not mind helping you out that Thursday night. I should have everything else done by then, God willing.
I'm helping Jeeb with Norland, I can help you out with Nadia! <3
ha ha, well if your offering. I might play with it a bit, but before I do anything permanent maybe I should let a profesional look at it. After working with my friend on saterday, I learned that I'm good at making a big mess. lol I'll have to owe you some cookie bits or somethihg. ^_^
squeee getting excited.
So any specific place you guys meeting up at the Kon?
I have no idea there Retro xD But if you see a giant group of One Piece guys all in the same area.. just assume we have all met up.. usually there's NEVER EVER EVER a huge One Piece turn out, I don't know what it is about Akon, there just NEVER is.
Usually our meetups consist of:
"Hey, let's meet in the lobby at noon!"
And we all get there around 3:15. XD
There's no WAY that is happening this Akon, cause I have far too many costumes to wear, so if we DO have a set time, we're going to have to stick to it x_x;; Hopefully we can all get things worked out BEFORE the convention, that'd be wonderful xD
I'm a stickler for time. I'll bean them over the head to be there. ;)
All i can say is nobody better be waking me up at 7 to be down somewhere at 8:30.. I WILL NOT be happy. XP

Amen sister.
No, really. It takes me forever to walk anywhere in my sandals when I'm cosplaying Luffy, so I'll arrive whenever I do.

ha ha. i'll probably be up at 6, or 5 with the time change. XD I promise I will be quiet
I am NOT a late sleeper on cons, i get up as EARLY as possible, because damn it… I PAID to be there, I'm not wasting ANY TIME xD
I'll be up early because DAMN I have a lot of makeup to put on.
I wake up whenever the hell I feel like it because that's how I roll. >:(
Already planning on getting up at like 7 AM.
Luckily it'll take me what a whole ten mins to put on Conis? That equals out to more time sleeping in Zor's arms. XD
