Hi Here is my plan for C.Cs jacket/top. I decided to have seams where the golden lines go on her design to make the fit more like a realistic version of her. I am going to cover the seams with gold afterwards so they wont show.  Now I just need to make it into a full sized pattern and make the first mockup!

Hi! 

I was so exited to do this bootcover techniqce! 

C.Cs pants go over her boots so I have to make some adjustments to the pants-pattern. I had seen this technique on so many cosplayblogs before so I just had to try it! It really was an unique experience! 

How to do it:  You wrap your leg (or the part you need) in clingfilm to protect the skin from the next step: Ducktape.  Cover everything in ducktape! This will be your pattern for making the bootcover / sock later on.  Cut of the parts by the seams you want and now you have a pattern! 

The only error I made was that I cut in the front and back, where I did not want my seams, so I had to translate the patterns to another papper to make the seams go by the sides. And it turned out really good! at least for my first time!  I have to take it in some, and this was just the tester, but I think the pants wont be that hard on C.Cs costume!  xo - S

One more pattern on Yuuki done!  This is the red deco-belt thing on her skirt. I really don’t know what it’s supposed to be, but I like the design with the red on the purple!

This was a really challenging peice to make, just because you can’t really work from any baseground, you have to make it from scratch.  At first I made one just by winging it, with eye-measurements, and that was a great disaster. It really wasn’t symetrical at all. So I had to figure out a mathematical way to  make all the squares even.  I wont bore you with the whole calculation but it ended with lots of diagonal lines and an piece that was perfect! Ah!  Now I just need to figure out how to attach this to the aqual belt things. But that is a mystery to be solved another day!

I recieved my Yuuki wig the other day.  I don’t really want to be overly negative here so I will just say that I recieved the wrong shade of purple by the store and they will not send the correct one. 

Yes, this is a real setback for my Yuuki cosplay. If you are not familiar with ebay wig-shops then the issue is that the shipping time is very undependable.  So if I order a new one now, I wont know when I will get it and if it is the wrong shade again it wil be too late to order one again for the con in July.  This is a real setback but I will have to fight on!  What ever happens, I will finisg this costume!
