11th October 2012: Shuriken Weapon (made by kadaj006) My Shuriken is finished :D
kadaj006 did a fabulous job in making this! Thank you so much huni, I love it <3
Please check out kadaj006's page, he's a great cosplayer, and he makes his own props too!!
3rd October 2012: Boots <3 My boots I had commissioned came today, and I could not be happier with them.
They are beautifully made, the materials are brilliant quality and fit perfectly. And, as an added bonus, they are really comfortable.
I'm really excited about cosplaying Yuffie now. And I've got the motivation now to get the rest of the costume finished now!!
The picture isn't brilliant, but its the best I could do in the excitement of getting them and being home alone :)
1st October 2012: Shuriken So kadaj006 and myself went to fetch the mdf to make the Shuriken today, after the fiber glass version failed. We had (great) fun carrying it back home... It was huge and kept blowing us off with the wind.
He's going to be starting it tomorrow, so hopefully I'll have some progress for you soon :)
19th September 2012: Costume Update The jacket is looking good. It fits great. My aunty (bless her) volunteered to sew on all the zips all the way around. So when thats done, we need to add pockets and the hood.
The shorts are done. They were a brought piece, as I found some that were pretty much perfect.
The socks I need to add the white bit around the top (although Im unsure as to how to do so when they are elasticated.
The sleeve is cut out and need elasticating and sewing together.
The belt bags are also all cut out and can be sewn together as soon as I have a belt to attach them too.
Sadly no progress pictures, I always forget to take them. And they never look good when I do take them anyways.
And the headband has begun to take shape, just needs stitching together and edging in white.
I think thats covered the main areas of the cosplay. So I know where I am with it and what still needs doing.
14th September 2012: Boots Boots have been ordered and paid for.
Now hopefully they get here on time. The seller says 5 weeks. And expo is in 6 weeks, so I'm really hoping they do come, because otherwise, I have no cosplay for expo
10th September 2012: Beginnings of a Jacket Finally got round to starting the jacket. I've got the pattern all cut out on the fabric. So now it needs stitching together and shaping and sizing.
Then the little details will need to be added, such as pockets and zips.
I also need to buy fabric for the hood which is a lighter shade of grey then the actual body of the jacket itself.
31st August 2012: Wig Blues So, the wig I ordered came today. To say I'm not pleased is an understatement. It looks nothing like it did in the picture (see previous journal) Its way too long to be Yuffie's bobbed style, and just hangs in front if my face like something sat on my head and died. To say its going to need a bit of attention is a definate... Not amused in the slightest
16th August 2012: Socks! Socks arrived today, so when I've got time tomorrow I can add the white binding to them and then they'll be complete.
Really excited for this cosplay now!
5th August 2012: Wig This is the wig I plan to order from ebay tomorrow once my bank account clears
