Akiko Wolf Dot Com

Here is an extension of Akiko Wolf's main blog: Autumn Leaves In Summer [ALIS] I am an online window-shop-a-holic, mostly influenced by the kawaii nature of Japanese fashion, and also a alternative cost specialist (means I shop cheaply on Taobao). I reblog lolita, gyaru, nailart, decoden, Pullip dolls, pastries and dessert.

Here's a few simple steps how I made the side curls for #swimswimcosplay (clockwise from top-left). There are close-up photos when you swipe left~ ① Choose a slightly thick wig, and select 1 row of weft from bottom. For this project, I used 1 row and cut it into half. ② Carefully remove the stitches to harvest 1 row of weft (thin wigs can work but your wig net might be exposed). ③ Use 2 long strips of wide clear tape to sandwich 2 long craft wires. ④ I used latex glue and a soft brush. I also taped the top of the weft to prevent losing wig fibres. ⑤ Roll the clear tape (with wire insert) to get the shape needed. I clamped my wig weft on the top, where I start to apply glue in one direction. ⑥ Allow excess wig to hang (or trim off first if preferred) while it dries. ⑦ After drying, you have 2 options: to trim side of the tape and use as is, OR to peel away the clear tape and use for loose bouncy curls. ⑧ I attached the side curls with hair pin. Also, I store and transport the side curls separately, just in case. #cosplaywip #cosplayprogress

#2017bestnine reflects on my past year as a cosplayer and a barista, as well as random UFO-catcher addict and first fukubukuro shopping in Tokyo! . . . . . . There were some sad times and bad times, but there's always some more good times to cherish. 👣 Here's to a better 2018~ Cheers, from a magical girl in Malaysia. 😘

Opening my "Christmas" present - an ice cream maker! . . . . . I consider this a gift from my late mum, since it's redeemed with one of her point card which raked up points she didn't have time to spend. There's only so much you can take away in spirit when you leave this life. So here's a machine that I can use to share happiness, because we can keep memories forever.

Finishing touches on the blazer done. I must have lost weight somehow, the waist was just too loose. I'll have to pinch the waist smaller next time.

Sewing problems...😭 Last month i was calibrating coffee grind size; this month calibrating sewing machine and serger thread tension. Pulling my hair out on the "automatic" buttonhole.

Bought 1metre EXPENSIVE wool twill, which... Turns out this suitting fabric is called Glen Check (1st pic) so it was a blessing in disguise that i didn't buy any Houndstooth (2nd pic).

[akikowolfdotcom]

Large houndstooth, small houndstooth, tiled houndstooth... But no plain classic black&white houndstooth! 💔👿 I'll attempt another fabric hunt in the morning.
