ahhh the cropped jacket thing for your kinu cosplay looks so good. Did you use a specific pattern?
Hello! And thank you! I actually didn’t use a pattern other than guessing and measuring but I can tell you two tips:
1. The structure of the jacket is based off a vest that’s been shortened. You can use a vest pattern and then cut it according to what length you want it to be. This might not be 100% correct but I used a vest for reference and it worked out just fine! JUST MAKE SURE TO MAKE THE SHOULDERS WIDE ENOUGH
2. The sleeves of the jacket are bell sleeves! They are easy to make and pattern BUT IM WARNING YOU IT’S A LOTTA FABRIC !! I almost ran out of fabric and I cried...
I’m actually a newbie to sewing and patterning costumes so I can’t really give you specific tips but... her costume is pretty easy to make even for a newbie so I’m sure anyone at any skill level can do it with some practice! I wish you luck! <3
