Post-Con Sewing Project!
I'm trying this thing where I don't only sew things in the ~month leading up to anime conventions. Crazy, I know XD But I made a cute sewing buddy after Otakon - a black and orange plush cat with pockets for various sewing accessories + places to attach pins - and I'm aiming to do the same sorta thing now. Liz found a site with nui-related patterns and I decided to jump right into making some kimonos for Double Face~
Yesterday, I picked out some fabric - finally putting years of hoarding scraps to good use! - and watched one of the tutorials. And then todaaaaaaay, Liz and I went out to check out one of our local crafting stores! I'm distraught over Joanns closing, but luckily we live in a big enough city that we have other options. There are a few, but we left late enough in the day that we only had time to check out one.
and it was really nice!!! they didn't have a ton of apparel fabric, but what they had was high quality :D
And then Liz and I found the most dangerous place: a pay what you want craft supplies store. I can't even get into it right now; we stopped for a very brief bit and still left with a bunch XD We'll be going back later for SURE. I did manage to pick up some very thin cording for the kimonos, which is what we kinda went out for in the first place...so that was good!
random brocades from the fabric stash + some very nice real dupioni silk from an old cosplay of Pat's XD I'll be using the ones on the left for Kohaku and the ones on the right for Madara!
new sticker for Increase Mather~ I played a lot of bobbin chicken while making our DF coats, so I feel like it's appropriate :D
delicately painting the edges with glue to set them + despairing over how much it darkened this specific fabric...I'm really hoping it dries down back to its original color ;w;
Anyway! I'm waiting for glue to dry, but I'll be getting back to the teeny tiny kimonos soon~ It's not my normal kind of project - I hate working with such small things - but for the nuis...anything is possible uwu
