I, however, have some bad news...

I'm supposed to be getting some money from my financial aid. I just found out that I won't be getting the leftovers until (theoretically) the first day of the Fall quarter, maybe the second!

GRR!!! I WAS WANTING TO PAY FOR MY FABRICS WITHOUT ASKING OTHERS FOR HELP!!!

Totally off topic....I just cancelled one room at the red lion around 1215 Monday afternoon. Know of anyone looking for a room let them know.

I second this, I have two pairs of Old Navy flip flops (one in pink, one in purple) and they've held up SUPER well. Plus they're cheap!

CLAP_attack · « **Reply #1858 on:** June 21, 2011, 12:46:45 pm »

Just got all the stuff I need for Kneesocks' Jacket~ But I'm to lazy to sew right now =A= I'll do that next week.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1861 on:** June 21, 2011, 07:03:22 pm »

I got my wig for Rikku today and started working on it. I need to do a little more work but here is a progress shot.

I am working on the weapon now and I just realized that she has a shield on the other arm that I am going to make as well. Now to figure out how to make it.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #1862 on:** June 21, 2011, 07:51:33 pm »

I am officially issuing a challenge.

I bought everything to make Stocking's sailor outfit- the blouse, skirt, and socks. I am going to finish sewing this outfit by tomorrow at midnight.
I'm going to basically make an entire cosplay outfit in under 2 days.

I challenge anyone to beat me. I'm leaving to go out of town on Thursday morning so Wednesday night is a very real deadline for me.

Anyone up for it?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1863 on:** June 21, 2011, 08:08:50 pm »

I will try to get my shield done in two days. I wish I could do more but I am out of money so I can only do things that I already have. I could probably get everything done but paint.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #1864 on:** June 21, 2011, 08:21:35 pm »

Do it.

Just cleaned my room and ironed my skirt fabric.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1865 on:** June 21, 2011, 09:31:04 pm »

I wont be able to. But I could get it done by Saturday. The way I want to attach it to the glove I need to buy and the paint I need to buy....I might be able to do it, if I can find some silver. I am making the round shield on the left and the orange starter gauntlet on the top right.

CLAP_attack · « **Reply #1866 on:** June 21, 2011, 09:51:09 pm »

man, the flip flops i wanted werent in . sooo gonna' order it online ..
BUt i got more foam core ~

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1867 on:** June 21, 2011, 10:16:10 pm »

Girl you must enjoy tormenting people- if I was home I could try to beat your deadline with my Loki cloak. But noooooo~

luvan1me · « **Reply #1868 on:** June 21, 2011, 10:17:31 pm »

i would do that but i got work all these days :/ i would do friday and monday but not sure if that counts if they aren't straight days in a row....
i got my fabric for my ninetales and my sister's vulpix and i'm hoping to get the fabric cut out so i can get started :3

lychee-twist · « **Reply #1869 on:** June 21, 2011, 10:18:36 pm »

Luv, sounds cute! Please post some in progress shots if you can.

I need to get started on my cosplays. I'm laaaacking, but my paychecks should come soon once I get some hours in! Yay!

luvan1me · « **Reply #1870 on:** June 21, 2011, 10:19:30 pm »

horrible picture of the wig D:

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #1872 on:** June 21, 2011, 11:25:10 pm »

Almost done with the skirt, just have to finish gathering it and sew it to the waistband!

But it turns out I need one (or two) more package of bias tape since the skirt used up both the packages I bought.

EDIT:
Need to sew the inside of the waistband down and I'm done!

EDIT V2:
Whoops forgot I need to sew two black bows to the front lol. Easy enough!

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #1873 on:** June 22, 2011, 12:45:45 am »

Double posting because I'm 1/3 of the way done in one night:

Tomorrow morning I'm going to the art of automobiles thing at the Portland Museum with my grandpa and I'm pretty sure we'll end up going to lunch, so I doubt I'll be home before 1 pm. I have other chores to do too, so I think at the very least I'll get the socks done tomorrow. I'm willing to stay up past midnight to finish the blouse, but I used up all my bias tape on the skirt so I need to buy more before I continue.

Su Lu · « **Reply #1874 on:** June 22, 2011, 11:41:48 am »

I got my wig for Chrona as well as materials for the actually costume

bunny_jean · « **Reply #1875 on:** June 22, 2011, 12:33:47 pm »

GOT MY SERGER TODAYYYYY!!! It is going to save me sooo much time with my cosplay. Thank god for shirring foot! And blind hemming foot!!! And overall finishing!!! Raaahhhh!

Okay, now that that is out of the way. Ordered the last bits of stuff I'll need. We Love Colors hasn't charged me the money for the socks, tights, and leggings I bought yet though... so kinda worried. And their order status page is pretty useless. Also ordered a test of the body paint I'm most likely going to use, so that should be here in about a week and I'll test it out.

Hopefully this weekend I can start cutting out pieces of the costume!

Drauska · « **Reply #1876 on:** June 22, 2011, 01:09:10 pm »

Hoping my Vash red duster arrives today. It was mailed on Monday.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #1877 on:** June 22, 2011, 03:44:02 pm »

I just got home. I'm falling alseep so I might take a quick nap and then I have some chores, so afterwards I'm going to make my socks and try to cut out the blouse.

Tanuki19 · « **Reply #1878 on:** June 22, 2011, 05:33:08 pm »

my Gumi wig came today!

Drauska · « **Reply #1879 on:** June 23, 2011, 07:18:11 am »

Happy Day!! Not only did my Vash Duster Jacket arrive but my very first wig arrived at the same time. It's short black with pony tail clip-ons so I can swing both ways with this wig.

Things are coming together nicely.

I've got a check-off list for both of my cosplays and I am seeing a lot of checks next to the items.

StarryShay · « **Reply #1880 on:** June 23, 2011, 11:00:37 am »

Katie, I was going to make a long post about how amazing your Stocking skirt looks, but I was too distracted by the troll face in the bottom right corner of the photo.

lolololol

but it does look really good ~ ♥

Got my wig and finished the circlet and necklace for my Bianca Solderini cosplay~

Now I just need to start on the dress and make my earrings.

lychee-twist · « **Reply #1884 on:** June 24, 2011, 07:25:47 pm »

^ If I was 8, I would be going nuts with intense jealousy right now. Then I would make my own out of yarn and pony beads that have been covered in white out.

I would be an f'ing princess. And a mermaid, btw. Screw the vampires. Imma gonna be a mermaid.

Wait so they don't take orders like a normal online shop? I need to get my body suit by the end of July but I haven't ordered it yet D:

Also the trollface in my skirt pic was an accident, but that's actually part of my Stocking costume too lol. Tomorrow (today technically?) I'm going to make the socks and start on the blouse. I need to go back to Joann's to buy more bias tape and to get some blue fabric because I was stupid and didn't get any last time lol.

Oh also my wig order is in progress! I'm buying my new Stocking wig, a Stocking pigtail wig, and my wig for Lambdadelta. Then my Raven wig should be in the mail~

Mew*Haruko · « **Reply #1887 on:** June 25, 2011, 07:43:54 am »

My Goku cosplay came in the mail the other day, but I'm out of town. xD
I need to get a black wig, due to my hair being purple and all, and some blue flats. Also some bandages to wrap around my leg.

I actually got a reply from an inquiry about that and they don't charge you until they ship the item because they need to confirm that they can get it in the color you want. When you put things into your cart they have different colors next to each item, green means it can be shipped right away, yellow means it could take a few days, and red means it could take a while or they might be out. And by the order status page being useless I meant that when you go to the link they send you to "watch your order status" it really just shows your order information until it's shipped. No payment status or individual item status. As for getting your suit... It took them a week from the time I placed the order to when they shipped (Thursday) because I had some yellow dots in my order, and it should arrive today or Monday. So, only a 1-2 week process really. If you want your body suit before the end of July I would order mid July at the latest.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #1889 on:** June 25, 2011, 11:23:51 am »

I just checked, and my leotard is in stock, whew. I'm going to order it when I've finished transferring more money into my PayPal.

I'm also getting a full body shaper that another superhero cosplayer suggested to me, that way I look all nice and smooth under my leotard. The only thing I really need to make myself is the cloak, but I need to get the resin gems commissioned so I can make the belt too.

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #1890 on:** June 25, 2011, 01:57:49 pm »

fleur: i got mine from lychee, maybe try her? i loved how they turned out.

also i got most of queen beryl's dress finished! just need to put the lining in and put on the black moons then the DRESS will be done n.n

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #1891 on:** June 25, 2011, 02:15:50 pm »

For the resin jewels? I'm actually commissioning them from Nikki, she had one on one of her costumes that I saw in person and it's perfect for what I need haha.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1892 on:** June 25, 2011, 02:41:48 pm »

Do you know who easy they are to make? Stir pour and wait but you may just want to support nikki.
I ordered my magnets yesterday and I may resin cast things today

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #1893 on:** June 25, 2011, 03:33:20 pm »

Nikki already has the supplies plus I talked to her about it, and I'm awful at crafty things ugh. I'll try it sometime just for fun though!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1894 on:** June 25, 2011, 03:58:39 pm »

I understand but you would be shocked how easy it is. All it involves is measuring one part resin one part hardener (if you have easy cast) pouring them together, putting a few drops of food coloring in, mix, and pour into a mold (which you can get a any craft store)

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1895 on:** June 25, 2011, 04:00:05 pm »

Hey guys remember me I had those horn things in my garage

Well they're gold now. Need to fill some divots with some bondo but they look dang good.

EmAino · « **Reply #1896 on:** June 25, 2011, 04:35:18 pm »

Doing some very therapeutic seam ripping: taking one of the collar lines off of my Sailor Jupiter costume in order to turn it into Super Sailor Jupiter.

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #1897 on:** June 25, 2011, 04:48:45 pm »

hmmm... i should try resin casting, is it very expensive?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1898 on:** June 25, 2011, 05:03:21 pm »

Depends on what you are casting. If it is small you could get the $15 easy cast and it last a long time (I mainly used it for painting on props to give them strength) I got the $30 big one and that was enough to make about three regular size pokeballs with a little left over.
