Welcome to (PreCure) Hell @precuregremlin - Tumblr Blog

I attached the waistband, then did the clasp closing. I then realized I COULD fix the scallops on the bottom of the skirt and proceeded to burn myself doing it.

Now we're taking a nice break before going back to finish the bottom and start drafting the side bow after dinner. Oww.

#the cure idol project #I burned myself on my iron #that little son a bitch gets hot

Things I got done today:

back ribbons sewn

Back ribbon hearts sewn

Back ribbons attached to skirt

Waistband sewn together

scallop pattern drafted

Scallop pattern traced

Scallop pattern sewn

Scallops cut out, ironed

Scallop trim pinned on

Tomorrow's goals:

add waist attach for the part not covered by the zipper

Start drafting side bow

Very productive day.

#the cure idol project #cosplay #Maybe I will finish the top skirt before the 14th #the bottom skirts are easier because they're just skirts with a scalloped hem #So that won't take nearly as long

I finished and sewed on the back ribbons. next time I need to add seam allowance because... yeah. Nice going, me.

Next up: waistband. But I'm taking a break until 5 because being hunched over my sewing machine means my back hurts.

#the cure idol project #I don't have a table to sew on #I'm sewing on my bed with my bed as the table #And the foot pump is below me on a box so I can reach it #the non foot pump leg is getting very cramped being hunched up lol

Was gonna sew tonight... but then I found Yumeginga Paradise.

And the zombie girls come first.

#I've been looking for this movie since the blu-ray came out

Panels were sewn, I definitely preferred sewn vs vinyl. I also designed and cut out both the ribbons and the heart attachment for the back bow. Tomorrow I'll sew them together. I'm planning on slightly stuffing the hearts and using the sewn in ending to make the loop for the jump ring to attach to, but we'll see how that goes.

Special shout out to my laptop screen for acting as a impromptu light box to trace the heart I designed. Good job, buddy!

#I put the ribbon and heart pattern in with my scallop pattern #I also dug out my red and white bias tape for the waistband because that's next #With any luck I should finish the first skirt by June 13th #the cure idol project

The new screw has been screwed into place. We start again tonight.

:) started sewing. Lost my presser foot screw. Can't find it, think it rolled under my bed and into a gap in the floor boards. Not getting that one back...

#Luckily i found a replacement on amazon but uuugh #the cure idol project #This is yet another delay #luckily I think I found a petticoat which means I don't have to make one!!!#I'll think about it after I'm done making the skirts

:) No sewing today. My plug broke.

#I hate everything rn lol #I think I'm gonna watch Meitantei with my cosplay block later #x2 should get me through mosto f it #It's 9 episodes so around 216 minutes #I usually skip OP and EDs and sometimes transformation scenes so that's about 20 minutes gone #Add in the fact it's gonna be in half #and I can finish in around 2 hours

I tested iron on vinyl panels. They came out kinda stiff, I don't think I'm a fan. I'll compare it to the sewed on section later and make my decision based on that.

#cosplay #the cure idol project #It's probably because it's a big piece of vinyl

I miscounted my panels. They were far too big. Will remember that for final version.

Also, I have decided the panels have to go on BEFORE sewing and cutting. It gets weird if I don't. But that means I have to do the plaid and panels before sewing anything together, so I'll have to really think about my seam allowances as I work.

The darker pink panels may become iron on vinyl. Haven't decided yet. Going to consult with my senpais on that one.

The panels were measured and cut. They're not perfect, but this is the mockup + I'll be hiding that side with my side bow anyway. I'll probably pin them on after dinner and start sewing tomorrow.

I have poked myself many times with pins. My leg hurts. I am tired. When does the fun start, lol...

Scallops were sewed. Fucked them up somehow, but that's ok this is the mockup, we'll figure it out by the second underskirt. I'm just doing this for length rn.

Tomorrow is gonna be ironing + figuring out the darker pink panel placement and size. If I finish that, I'll cut the panels out this week and sew them on this weekend. Once that's done, it'll be back ribbon time. Eventually we'll move on to scalloped waistband and the side bow.

Just gonna keep on trucking, we're learning as we go.

#the cure idol project #It's been a while I've been Depressed #Also my workspace is a fucking mess so I gtota clean this week

Honestly though, if it turns out to be a red herring and Mikuru isn't Anna's mom, that would be fucking hilarious too. Like they're not related at all and we just thought they were.

Either way it's gonna be really fucking funny to me.

#gremlin watches meitantei #I'm just in this for the lulz at this point #I find meitantei really really boring #not as bad as Wonderful but yeah I'm behind for a reason that isn't depression

Someone on reddit voiced my inside thought about Jett being Anna's dad. I do not ship it, I just think it would be fucking hilarious if she was half fairy.

#meitantei precure #And if something is funny to me I tend to go for it #Especially like HOW DID YOU NOT REALIZE THEY WERE YOUR PARENTS #Please oh my god I want this now just so I can laugh in January #Most likely Anna's dad is some rando

*studying references of cure Idol, my merch that has Cure Idol on it, and the books I got in japan*

I think Idol's hair is like half up in that bow thing and half down. The little girl in the kid's magazine who is dressed as idol has half up half down going on...

But some screenshots from the side make it look like a ponytail so I'm not sure...

#I am jumping way ahead but it's been bothering me

I think tomorrow I'm gonna try to start watching what I've missed in Meitantei. Looks like I've got 6 episodes to watch, so it shouldn't be too bad.

...

Except my secondhand embarrassment is kicking up already reading the summary of 9 so I think I'm gonna suffer on that one.

#Almost time to deploy protocol

It took me 3 hours, but I seam ripped the entire hem. Next up is making strips of bias tape so I can practice the scallops. I'm gonna need a shit ton of fabric, but luckily I ordered more muslin.
