I’m working on designing a blathers animal crossing cosplay but in the mean time I’m making tiny fossils out of clay while I combat a head cold

[saphiretart]

Went to Katsucon this past weekend! Had fun, ran around with friends

And importantly did a silly cosplay

[saphiretart]

a couple of extra how-it’s-made details of my holiday Vash coat:

I designed the stitching patterns first in illustrator (base pattern by alchemical cosplay), printed them out and then cut out each section to act as a stencil

the fabric was too stretchy to just satin stitch and I didn’t have a walking foot yet (this project prompted me to buy one 🫠)

Instead I used a cut away stabilizer and traced the patterns onto it and the fabric itself. I would have preferred tear away stabilizer but it was just not enough to keep the stitching steady

It also made for a neat effect when the inner fabric was fused to the outer

[saphiretart]

Didn’t make it out to any holiday cons this year, so throwback to my holiday Vash coat featuring plant lines that look like a Christmas tree!

I spent 20 days straight satin stitching this mofo please observe

Pls

Dragoncon was a crazy time like always

This year I actually made costumes for non cosplay friends to join - the parakeets + the king from the Boy and the Heron

Here is the chaotic result:

Good times all around
