i wish i was better at sewing.. >w<

[dragoness129]

I need to practice that more too, Rose.

@Demo: Oh, that's nice! AN is about 7 hours from here, or well 5 from Mtl (I was hving internships so sometimes I was in Mtl in May), and my parents used to drive my friends are I there (we have a dodge caravan, so we could be 3-4 without problem in the back), we were just splitting the gas spendings between ourselves so it cost us less than half what the bus/train would have cost us... My parents were pretty much taking an hotel around the convention with my father's AirMiles and either going to see my dad's family who are about 1-2 hours from there or they visited Toronto etc.... But now I have to manage to go by myself since they have visited everything they wanted to visit lol.


I'm not the best at sewing either girls, but you just have to take your time and use some old bed sheet or whatnot to modify the pattern first before cutting in the real fabric for your cosplay ^^

[Rosekitten]

my mom was pro at it :3 but she never has time to teach me Dx

[dragoness129]

My grandma is really good at sewing and she showed me some tips. There are also some guides through YouTube or other sites that could help with teaching.

[Demo]

Yeah always do a test piece before the real thing. lets you make all your mistakes on the test piece XD.

[Nefer]

^^ My mom is also really good at sewing, just not so good at understanding patterns so many time we actually go like this: I read the pattern, explain to her how we need to cut and sew, and she sew it lol. Same thing when it comes to modifying it, but for that we're both brainstorming lol.

[dragoness129]

@ Demo - Yeah, my grandma told me that too.

@ Nefer - That is a good team.

[Nefer]

@Dragoness: Yup ^^ Though she did teach me how to sew, it's just that it's far faster when it's her that do it (I'm too clumsy for my own good xD), so when I'm home we usually do it that way. And I'm not touching her overlock, I let her pass the pieces under it, both her and I don't trust me with that thing xD

The Poison Knight has returned!

I checked the mail when I got home, and... my Tactics Ogre Tarot Cards arrived today!!!

[Demo]

I watch a course on it by the company Threads while I had pneumonia and basically taught myself XP

[Nefer]

Whoot, congrat Dragoness! I shall perhaps check my UPS warnings to see when my Wonderflex is suppose to arrive...

@Demo: Lol, well that's a good way to learn I guess xD



Ok, the pics of DOOM of my room:

[Demo]

Thats an awesome room right there XD Oh and have you used wonderflex before? o.o

[Nefer]

Lol, that's my room of doom xD You can see Beatrix's armor, my 'dolly' of my leg, WoL's helmet and Sephiroth's shoulder armor in the remaking on it xD And a couple of swords and props in the background... lol.

And yup, WoL's helmet base is actually wonderflex, and the two 'under part' of Sephiroth shoulder armor are made of that too ^^ I'm buying more so I can remake Wol and Beatrix's leg armor out of it so it will withstand more walking ^^
