No, this journal is not Friends Only, I just wanted an excuse to use this lovely banner made by forelyse, featuring myself as Subaru (white) and silvernaofficer as Seishirou (black). Please see my profile for my friending policy.

The rest of the progress pics I promised!

So, a few weeks ago (early June?), antieden and I went on a fabric expedition.
One of the things we came back with was... 7 yards of tie fabric.

This is what it looked like:



Hopefully all is made clear now.

Anyway, the last two weekends we've been putting together a suit~
All that's left is the buttons and button holes on the jacket, and hemming the pants and sleeves, which is left in antieden's capable hands.


I took a lot of progress pics, but not really of the pants, which was antieden's domain whilst I jacketed.

( Bits and bobbles )


But now!

Some actual it-looks-like-a-suit pics



( Screwdrivers demonstrating the plethora of pockets )

Please excuse it needs to be ironed.

The pattern for the jacket is the one I made for brown suit Ten, modified to try to correct my lapel issues. I think I'm still having lapel issues, I'm not too annoyed because the modifications were on the fly, but I'd really like to sit down with this pattern and make the proper adjustments.

Also I completely forgot to get a picture of the breast pocket with the flap down, but it is properly curved and such.

To be debuted at SDCC~ On antieden

Happy birthday to my lovely ladies~ lunaticneko and _chiyoko_!!

Have a great day <3

I have a huge backlog of photos, including the last day of Fanime.

So not including the outfit of the last two weekends, that will get its own post, here's some stuff I've made over the last two weeks.

But first!

( I saw Wicked with my sister )


( Some misc not-sewing pics )


Okay now the progress pics

( I made stuff )

Edit~ Forgot to mention! All made things came from my fabric stock, actually I think the only thing I bought was thread for the green blue shirt.


10.5 tomorrow! Or maybe Fanime...

Yeah I know, I'm being really slow with these Fanime updates.

Anyway, Sunday was surprise-new-cos day. Since I planned on making/wearing nothing new and ended up with two.

Started with some Yami no Matsuei~!
silvernaofficer figured this one out only on Friday 8D
So she was the fiery (get it? haha 8D) Suzaku
mollypocket as THE MOST ADORABLE Hisoka ever. Had me in stitches and crying happy tears like the WHOLE time.
And myself as Tsuzuki
Only one pic from silvernaofficer after the cut~

After which was Utena times!
Touga was a completely last minute decision, I was able to use the pants from Dios, and made the jacket on Wednesday, but did the finishing on Friday after work... as such, I managed to put my collar triangles in upside down. Smooth one. That'll definitely be fixed before wearing again.

We met the sweetest Utena cosplayer there, Aryn.
blackfruitbat as Miki
antieden as Saionji
Myself as Touga

( And now some serious ones )

I kinda forgot I didn't post all the pics, even though I purposefully split them up.

It's gonna be Utena overload 'round these parts with all these and Fanime report still to come.

(Speaking of which, check out the AWESOME X photoshoot ziggybecket did!)


Anyway.



lunaticneko - Utena
antieden - Saionji
praedestinatio - Dios

( The conclusion of the rose garden pics )

So I went to edit some Fanime photos... and realized I never edited the non-outtake pics from our Utena Rose Garden shoot.
Weeeell, we have so many fab pics, I'm not even going to be able to post them all right now.

Here's a photo I posted already, but the rest all shiny and new :D

My lovely pink princess, Utena, is lunaticneko
The surly green skittle, Saionji, is antieden
And that fine specimen of a dashing prince, Dios, is me 8D;;;




This thumbnail? No correction whatsoever, just cropping and resizing. The lighting was that lovely.

( About 15 pics this round )


Like ALL of the twirling pictures came out, SO ADORABLE, but those two I think are my favourites.

More later, 'cause there is more.
That garden was just lovely, I'm so glad we went.


You guuuuys, I want a big Utena group~~
I love it sooo much I'd be anyone in order to get a full group (except for TV/Manga version Anthy).
C'mon, let's do it.

Per usual, my favourite shots are the outtakes XD

OMG YOU GUYS I MISS YOU

Friday

I rolled around bored at work wanting to go home >.>;;
And then I put trim on Touga and went to bed.

Saturday

X

You guys.

X.

Ilu all, blackfruitbat & co (uh, does Stephen have an LJ?), silvernaofficer, antieden, and ziggybecket, thank you for humouring us :D

It was fabulous.

Sunday

So I intended to make nothing new for Fanime, but Sunday I wore two new costumes, how did this happen (okay, so one of them was closet cos but whatev)

Omgggg mollypocket, you are THE CUTEST HISOKA EVER.
My happy tears.

I'm sure the outtake photos from that are... special. *puppy eyes at silvernaofficer*

And theeeen the cutest Utena ever found us in our skittle kids outfits

( Utena cos is serious business )

And then dinner w/ silvernaofficer and mollypocket, it was SO GOOD. But we had to apologize to the poor waitress on behalf of the con, and I felt like apologizing again D:

Monday

Loveless times with my buds, and new friends yay <3

( Loveless cos is all serious, all the time )


I'm glad I saw you all~~ It was a nice hanging out casual con for me, even though the crowds made me question my sanity on more than one occasion D:
And I was traumatized on Monday by scary fangirls.
Traumatized.
For life.

People who have cossed from Utena

Question for you, particularly if you were Touga or Saionji, what did you use to make the eppalauttes?


Other people~
If I'm bringing you something for Fanime, please remind me :D


And, here's a picture I took on my cellphone in March while hanging with antieden, I don't know how to get pics off my phone so she e-mailed it to me, and full size like this it looks sort of like a painting..

( Do you know why the Sakura blossoms are pink? )

YOU LOT.

I realize with this season being so short, and with what's going to happen come the end, there's a lot of rumors and excitement flying around.

However, not all of us want to know everything. Please respect this.


Please CUT your Doctor Who spoilers


No, don't strike through. Don't put character names in the title. Just CUT it. The people who want to know will read it!

I'm really... displeased I know what I know, and entirely on accident.
