Day 35 - 72 days till sakura con






I had fun whipping this up on my tablet >.>





I didn't get as much as I wanted to get done last night, but I did start sewing. I'm planing on taking progress shots so I can give detail outlines of how I made the costumes. And maybe some tutorials when I'm done ^_^

Aspen's back from the pet hospital and omg I will never get a cat fixed again, I will only get spca cat's from now. I don't have nearly $200 in my back pocket thats ridiculousness it costing that much is not a preventative to having more kittens its more likely to cause more kittens.

to day I will sew more kimono, and probably cut a few things out, I also have to go to my old school and sign some things so I can be like bitches I want a year to my self to cosplay >.> ...... then I'll get some more tracing paper since I'm out again T.T I'm going to have to charge the boys for paper consumption. It's not cheap paper T.T

I will also be geting a new tv tomorrow hopefully so I can actually read the text on the tv >.> OMG whats that. My 20 inch baby has treated me good but its on its last picuter and I've never been able to read subtitles on it very well so here's hoping.

umm I think thats it for now ^_^

pink bunnie- out

So this post is going to be a detailed outline of what I have done and what still needs to be done.

I've been ridiculously tired, its hard to get 17 costumes and now 4 commissions done T.T. I'll manage but I'm going to have a talk with my manager tomorrow he's trying to pull a fast one on me having me work 6 in a row days then giving me 1 only 1 day off then 4 more days of work i think or maybe 3 either way not happening I'm not a machine.

Day 29 - 77 days till Sakura con 2010
























For some unknown reason I decided I wasn't under enough pressure with 17 costumes and 3 plush commissions to do. So I decided to see how many days I had till the convention 77 days everyone ugh .... can we say scary ????

Well the good news is I have every ones except plate destroyers patterns done for xxholic and shamanic princess. Well I do need to make the bow pattern for Yuko's obi but that should be fairly easy, and thankfully Graham's costume part is pretty easy minus the mask and claws >.> its just Mokona I that scars me a lot cause I've never done a mascot costume before, I'm planing on getting clown shoes for the feet and covering them in fabric( inserting foam around ankles for comfort). I'm also going to get muslin and trace the pattern on it well PD is laying on it, I'm going to use hoops to give it shape.

I finished the girls school uniform jacket pattern today YIPE!!!!! just need fabric, buttons and some bias tape and those can be finished in a matter of days.

I hope to get Yuko's fabric and pattern this week so I can sew up the kimono this month hopefully by the end of next week. But I have really shity ass shifts for getting work done so cross your fingers for me.

I also need everyone else's costume reference pics for Tekken, I don't want to start on those patterns till these set's are done. I will do the same once I start making the costumes, I'll make them in groups so that if one set docent get done we at least all match. I like to use my brain some times.

Aurora ordered my Yuko wig to day cause she loves me ^_^
:icontsuzukikun:

*Tsuzukikun

You should check her out some time. Ok soo I think I'm off to a good start but I would feel better if I was sewing, I'll feel better once I'm sewing ^_^, and wigs are ordered and fabric has been purchased ..... and that I'm just more ahead then I am now >.>


Pink Bunnie - thinking of moving me bed .....





and I did feel better when I play with feng shui a bit have to move a few things tomorrow though

DAy 28 - need some R&R



























Today was another of my one days of T.T, it makes it a lot harder to recover from work when your days are split. Not to mention getting anything done I don't like starting big projects when I have to work the next day because I don't like to have to stop working. not to mention travel time between work, don't get me wrong I well I like my job to a degree I don't hate EVERYTHING about it but i have to wake up an extra hour early and then travel for 30 to 45 minutes depending on the day.

Now that I'm done ranting,

I was able to finish the pattern for Leon's (Shamanic Princess) jacket, I'll use a store bought pattern for the pants. As well as finish the school uniform Jacket for xxxHolic boys ^-^ I'm on a bit of a role yay !!!

I also got my tablet working finally and played around with that did a couple easy things for it like a icon pic and feature picture arrangement, and I'm playing with one of the pictures from my fashion shoot for my steam bunnie line.

Other then that I tried to relax as much as I could which wasn't much :(

Day 27 - I <3 Fabric

I just love fabric all the colours and textures and then theres silk and velvet leather cotton I love every shape and bolt of it T.T

Soooo I went fabric shopping today I don't know if you can tell, but I really like what I do. REALLY like it :)

I was able to get the fabric for Lilis jacket and skirt as well as most her lace just need her larger lace and checkered black and red fabric as well as some red ribbing for socks for shoes.

I got some fabric for Guardian Cosmos I'm planing on doing a sheer see through fabric for her bubble skirt there will be a hope skirt underneath. Need to order hooping, I also got some beads pearl shape need to go to bead store to get some other colours. I got a gold lycra I will probably use as a bathing suite shape for the upper part of the dress I'm going to probably corset it and such. The thing about Guardian Cosmos is there is no colour scheme for her so I'm using reference of what people thing and what I believe it should be I feel it should be mostly white like cosmos with the beads being the multi colour and her upper part being gold. This is just what I've come up with though.

I was able to get fabric for Lena's dress for Shamanic princess, just need h
er coat fabric now. I also got her red flower for the coat ^_^.

along with all this I got Aurora's skirt fabric for Sailor Heavy Metal Papillion, just the pink not the blue and black. Its a beautiful pink silk a kind I cant remember the name to right now cause I'm sleepy. but it will drape beautifully.

I also managed to finish the pattern for Kigatsu's Jacket , I'm on fire that's 5 patterns done ^_^ I'm so proud of me :D. There's still a lot to do though so I will not be slacking of any time soon.

It's cute and will only sleep on me when I'm on my side >.<

Day 25 and 26


I'm having a hard time writing every day with all thats going on right now ... so Tired I should be asleep but instead I've been writing down what I need for fabric for each costume which is sad cause I really need sleep.

So I'm going to sum up what I've done in the past two days quickly

I finished the pattern for Lena's coat for Shamanic Princess yay it was not easy trust me T.T I want the drapes to be perfect.

Then I'm having a hard time choosing colours for Guardian Cosmos cause theres not actual colours for her outfit. I'm using sailor cosmos as reference and some original art work of guardian cosmos.

I'm luck I have still to cash in on a grade present of fabric so I'm hoping to get most my supplies with that *crosses fingers*

You better have what I need dresssew our else!!!

Day 23 and 24


So I'm late posting for the past two days T.T very sorry, but good news is I have 3 patterns done now only god knows how many to go >.> 17 costumes probably 17 stitches to close the stab wound I might inflict with a seam ripper. I've already stabbed my self once by accident right in the web between my thumb and pointing finger :'( it hurt real bad I can tell you that much.

I know this is the morning of day 25 but I want to get caught up now before I start working on more patterns.

So Day 23

I made the pattern for my Lena from Shamanic Princess Dress, I'm hoping to make it from a knit or Lycra fabric. I've also thought of using a cotton base to give it more structure and better lines. The stretch fabric would fit snug to the body and might lay better around the collar but I think a cotton blend with no stretch would be more appealing around my mid drift so I can wear my waist cinching thing.

I also want to use a pre-maid pattern for Yuko's kimono because there's not much point making one if I don't have to. Its a lot of extra work for me, I'm hoping to sew up her kimono this month because of all the flower details that need to be painted on, I don't think I will find a fabric that will have the write print. I want as much time as possible to get it done.

Day 24

I work full time and am working on these costumes so I don't find enough energy everyday to work on them. So I try and think of ways to make it easier for me, what I need to do making lists and such.

Also this day was a emotionally draining day for me, I ended up cuddled under blankets eating KFC chicken and watching a movie with some friends. I'm dealing with some emotional stuff and I find it draining and I don't work well when I'm upset :( not to mention some one at work who seems to call in when ever their needed >.> like oh say on an add change over day. but yeah KFC was bad cause I'm trying to get in shape but when I'm upset junk food is what I crave like most girls T.T.

I also find it annoying when I say I want to do something and some one decides to take it away from me. They seem to do it over and over again, maybe I should stop trusting people with my ideas so I can keep them for my self.

Any who so I'm going to try and get a bunch done today on day 25 woot woot full of junk food and raring to go.

I've also been trying to get my tablet up and running but it seems to not like my mac so I hope to get some info from the wacom people I e-mailed to day so I can make it work and make pretty art work.

Pink Bunnie - cold KFC chicken tastes good :)

Day 21- The New Year

















Sorry It's been so long since my last entry, it was a busy week :) New years was wonderful every one loved their presents, and I got a lot of wonderful presents.

With the new year comes resolutions to do things and such, I had already started on my path I want to be in better physical shape and I want to keep motivated with my costuming and designing.

We've done a bunch of research we've found most of the wigs for the female cosplay's, still working on getting reference pics for some costumes cause they are hard to find Shamanic Princess is an oldy and not know very well.

I guess I should tell you what we decided on cosplaying >.>

Shamanic Princess we have a Tiara, Lena, Greham, Kagustu, and Leon ( hope I spelled them almost right.

Tekken 6 : Lili, Auska, Leo, and I can't remember the other two names,

XXXholic : Main cast

And

Sailor Moon : Sailor Guardian Cosmos and Sailor Heavy Metal Papilion

I started working on patterns today, I've done up Tiara's skirt/shirt thing and Papilions skirt. For Tiara I have the basic outfit and I will draw in the heart shape on the muslin and then cut it out using the muslin as a base for the final pattern. For Papilion I made the skirt pattern hoping it will work always test them with cheap fabric first !!! like they do in fashion. For her top were going to use a good push up bra as a base and cover it with fabric.

I'll try to start on some more patterns in the next couple days and order some more wigs, I have to take Fluffy to Value Village to get some used coats for leather for his Leo costume at least I think he decided on that :S guh I need to speak to the boys

Oh yeah for Christmas I made two vest's one for Fluffly with blue lining, which has his name embroidered in it and one for Paradox it has a lapel collar and purple lining with his cosplay name in it. They both have steampunk buttons down the front, Fluffy has gears and Paradox has the insides of watches. I also made Plate destroyers girl friend and our friend a house coat with a canucks patch on it ( shes a fan)

Well I've been out of posting for a while sorry again I will try and get back to doing it everyday I want to work on designing my new collection tomorrow so I will start researching, not sure if I want to go with main stream couture fashion our another steampunk line.

Pink Bunnie - Is not ready for a new year but nothing I can do about it

Day 11- Tekken Research

After my nice small Christmas with my Mommy I journeyed home to play my new Tekken 6 game which I like to call research :D

Technically speaking it is research, I don't like c
osplaying any character I don't like, and no one should be made to cosplay someone they don't like. It makes for an unhappy cosplayer and in less the character is moody pissy and moody with the other characters it just dosent work out >.>

So yes when I got home I popped in Tekken 6 and started playing story mode as Lili the character I will be cosplaying ( decision purely on appearance ) and after playing the game on my screen which I'm unable to read subtitles so I don't really know much about whats going on any who, I like the character for her fighting style, but I can't really relate to her since she is a daddys girl and is even more of a princess mentality.

Other then that her character design is nice, it was between her and Asuka for me and since they are rivals me and Cake ended up deciding it be best if I did Lili and she was Asuka ( she docent do blond well in her words). I don't mind being Lili I've been working on her poses in my mind they are a lot of good ones and her fighting style is cool. I just am not found of the alternate costumes and I don't want to cosplay her first player costume because EVERY ONE AND THEIR DOG has cosplayed that costume (puke)

Well watching the arena conclusion for Lili her and Asuka run into each other in more then a manner of speaking, in school uniforms. What I'm thinking is, is it wrong to go with one of her made up costumes ( you can change up costumes with items you pick up) ou
r do her school uniform? just so I can be different ? our will I get annoyed cause people wont recognize our understand ? this is my dilemma. I don't really have the time to be so unsure of the costumes :(



I think I am set on doing Yukos Yellow bow and red with white flower Kimono though, it's the first costumes she wears in the manga and its not to difficult as well as it has the hair down which was a requirement for me. I don't have enough time to mess with wigs for this con, I have plans for the bow, every cosplay I've seen of this costume so fare has not done the bow the wright justice so I hope to fix that.

I would also if I have time like to sneak in a Aya cosplay for Sakura con ( parasite eve) all I need is the wig and to buy the other parts of the costume from value village so it shouldnt be to hard :D

thats it for to day focs

Day 10 - Merry Christmas

It's Christmas day and it has been one of my best Christmas's in a LONG time, very small just me my mom and Leonardo Da Vinci my cat that lives with my mom. Mom has originaly said no presents but when I heard no turkey and no tree as well she put a little Christmas together for me.

She has one of those Christmas trees that light up and do the multi-colour thing, its pretty cute, she also put up lights every where. We're also making a turkey, I love turkey mmm and there were a few presents under the tree for me :) from my mommy. She's the bestest ever, Cake also gave me a present to open on Christmas cause I thought there was going to be no presents :) My mom gave me things I could use which I like I don't like more clutery stuff I can't use. She gave me a hair dryer, really good shampoo, a toobrush, and some chocolates :D yay Cake gave me Tekken6 which I can't play right now T.T, I got my mom a pretty pink candle holder and put together a photo album.

As for cosplay I have'nt been able to work on any of that my moms comp is well Dell and probably like 4-6 years old >.> I need to do research and well I'm lucky to be using my blog. I have been brain storming for the fashion show I want to do in 2011 I'm doing some drawings right now but my wrists don't seem to be able to draw for a long amount of time.

But thats about it for now I think it's boxing day tomorrow, I'll be heading home because I work sunday booooo. I'll print out the rest of the refrence pictures work on presents and decided on my Yuko costume :).

Pink Bunnie - Merry Christmas

Day 9 - Christmas Eve

It's Christmas day now but I wasn't able to make a post last night because I worked all morning then I made the long ( not to long) journey to my moms for Christmas. So I'm writing day 9 and 10 seperatly but technicly both on day 10.

I was a good Christmas eve minus the missing a buss because I almost got hit by a van running a red light, seriously close to getting hit on Christmas eve totally not cool. I then got on the 7 ferry which didn't get in till 7 so I didn't reach Nanaimo till after 9pm.

It was so nice to see my mom I just unloaded a hole bunch of stuff that I hadn't been able to talk about, it felt good cause she's my mommy and well I've been through a lout with just me and my mommy were tight *crosses fingers*, any who yeah so nice to see my mom.

I got to put my favorite Christmas decoration on the tree my mom put up just for me, we then watched some tv, I searched for my favorite Christmas cartoon but there was barley anything on christmasy. My favourite cartoon is Christopher the Christmas Tree, it has a really cute owl name hootie :) I miss watching it :( I'm going to look for it on e-bay some time.

Any way's none of this has anything to do with cosplay I know but its Christmas and it's a little hard to work on things >.>. I have been brain storming though just haven't been able to do any fisical work, I hope once I finish everyones presents ( we have Christmas with friends on new years) that I cant start working on patterns and sewing.

Day 8- Northern Lights Cospaly

To day was full of bustling around getting ready to head to my moms for Christmas, its just me and my mommy for Christmas this year :). No prezzy's but I did talk her into a tree and turkey, its just not Christmas if you don't eat turkey :P.

So I made lots of cookies and banana bread to day to give as presents at work, cause well I'm broke and they don't pay me enough to get them actual presents. I also cleaned a bit, packed for my trip to the island and finished my mommys present ^_^ I made her a photo album YAY!!! well not so much made it as put pictures in one I purchased :D.

I also made a christmas hat for a coworker cause he loved mine so much, and a small dolfie hat for my old manager at the comic book store. I hope to stop there well I'm on the island, pic up some prezzys for people if I get paid on Friday.


The group also went to get our picture taken with Santa FINALLY only took till the day before Christmas eve. We also figured out our cosplay name !!!! If you
haven't guessed already its Northern Lights Cosplay, Paradox thought it up well walking around at work today. Its everything we wanted, Canadian, pretty, simple, easy to say no ones going to get ink mess up for inc (morons). We also thought about re-naming our selfs such as cake would be Aurora and I would be Dawn, inside joke.

Pink Bunnie is

Day 7 - Organization

Something you should know about me is I hate things that are messy, I like clean and organized work space, unfortunately with the given space I have its nearly impossible. I have to share what space I have for working with people, who on many occasion don't consider going around. I like my space and I like it private :( any whooo

SO I had my work space down stairs in this tiny unfinished work room meant for more manly things like hammering stuff "thats not leather" and making stuff out of wood. I tried it for a while but cats decided to well use it as a litter box and I was very unappreciative.

I spent my time after work cleaning and organizing my things bringing my pattern making tools, and some other supplies upstairs to the space I like to call no stomping zone... I know my friends will probably read this but they know its true. My things are not safe from cats or people so I just try my best not to cry to much. Makes your eyes all puffy and stuff,

You might wounder why this is considered working towards the production of my costumes for next year. We'll I cant be productive down stairs so I brought my self
upstairs hoping to be more productive !!!! yay

Ummmmm.. I think thats all for now I started checking out wigs and I'm having a hard time finding photos of Auskas second player costume, and am debating if I can do Lili's second player, since i have a tattoo on my back and I like to be accurate >.>


Pink Bunnie tip toeing off again

Day 6 - Costumes and characters finalized

So yesterday was a black out cause it just was!!!!

we have finalized all characters YAY!!! just one costume to pick out for Yuuko cause I'm so enable to decided. I will be Lili and Cake will be Asuka from Tekken yay rivals, we cosplay rivals well, we have been rivals at least 5 our more times. Its fun to partner that way ^_^ gives your characters a dynamic. I can't wait to see her as
Kunogi Himawari she'll be sooo cute!

Once we've decided for sure on characters I print out pictures of all the characters and start making notes on how I'm going to make the costumes. Where I'll find the fabric, what kind of fabric, if I will use something and alter it etc. its going to be sooo much fun in 2010 ^-^

I started looking at wigs on e-bay and cosworxs as well I like to try an
d get the wigs in advance !!!

hmmm.. not a lot done today but it is the Christmas season :)

Day 4 - Finalizing Costumes T.T


Today was well a day, I felt like poo for most of it and after a nice annoying chat with my landlord who thought it would be nice to treat me like an idiot I felt all so chipper. -_-' ( sarcasm for the sarcasm impaired)

Besides that, we did finalizing costumes down to Tekken 6, xxxHolic, and Shamanic Princess and me and Cake will be doing some very random sailor scouts. Time permitting the boys will join use in it, but theres a lot of costumes to be made, wigs to be ordered, shoes to find, fabric, and so much more.

I can't decide on a Yuko costume yet and I will probably end up with lili from tekken cause she has green eyes, but I have to get ride of my love handles if I do her secondary costume.

Day 3 - cosplay group meeting




Ok so we had a meeting and we have finalized costumes worked on cosplay name some what. We are all giving our favorite names to a pool and from that we will either combined a name our go with one of the given.


We were trying to work out what costumes we were going to be making for sakura con and funny thing happened, we moved the one set of costumes we were for sure doing to the end of the year for a surprise kick some assness!!!! it will be good.

We have for "sure" quotations because nothing is for sure xxxHolic, Tekken 6, Code Geass, Magnacarta 2 or 1, and Sailor moon for me and Cake!!! the guys are mostly figured out for Tekken and Holic, I know who I wanted to be from magnacarta 2 but I may do something from the art book I have. I just have to decided on my Tekken character and code geass is a maybe for this con I think just cause well as I said before 15 costumes is a lot and now its 20 T.T oh yeah we might do simple Shamanic Princess instead of Code Geass.

I'm to be Yuko but I have to decided which Yuko costumes T.T gahhhhhh !!!!!

Were playing magnacrata 2 tomorrow and we will finalize that shortly

I almost finished one of the Christmas presents I'm making YAY!! were having our friends Christmas on new years cause Christmas is for family which is just me and my mom this year. I have 3 other things I'm sewing for presents and one little thing for an old co-worker. I can't say much about what I'm making since people I'm sewing for might see this, but I am sewing a little hat for a dollfie for my manager at the comic book store.

Day 1


Hi
I am a Cosplayer if you couldn’t tell by the title of my blog. I started this block to motivate my self to cosplay more, as well as work on individual projects more.
I have recently graduated from The Art Institute for Fashion Design and am still waiting for my Diploma to arrive in the mail. I have been cosplaying since 2004, starting on my own and then later joined with others. I currently cosplay with my best friend and roommate, her boyfriend and two of our other friends. I make all the costumes, with help from them. They hand sew, cut out fabric, paint, make sure I’m feed, remove spiders from the room, and have energy drinks in hand when needed. This year is my first year with such a big group of cosplayers that I have to make all the costumes for. That scares me because I us to only be responsible for making costumes for my best friend, lets call her Cake and my self. It was easy three costumes per con per person and I could pull that together amazingly in two weeks cause well with school and work I would procrastinate and be busy. Unfortunately since there is now Cake, Paradox, Plate Destroyer, Fluffy, and me Pink Bunnie I have a LOT more work for me to do. I try to make all my own patterns which takes time because I need to test them out before going to actual fabric. So I figure one complicated costume per con and two more simple costumes per con. This is only fare for me right? Cause it’s a lot of work that’s 15 costumes per con if all of us attend. I want to give detailed descriptions of the work I’m doing for the costumes as record as well as a helpful guide for others and to motivate my self to work on them EVERY single day, even a little bit. That’s all for now thank you for listening Pink Bunnie
