Sleeves 😩 I hate designing them for my patterns and I hate putting them on. They never line up right

m2cosplay.bsky.social•90 days ago

Nooooo Q////Q
Is there any hack that get's you a bit closer?

vscn.bsky.social•90 days ago

Cave and buy a professional pattern 😩 and then reuse it for literally everything. I could never get the inverted t shirt hack to work properly (the curse of cosplaying men while being well-endowed, unfortunately)

Right now as far as things go, just Spandex in general.
I wanna give a garment but I havent had enough time to really get a feel.. oh no… wait…
Bodysuit corsets. Like boned, lined, with interfacing and lacing and intricate top stitching stuff.

The reason one of my cosplays is taking so long is …

korgimoon.bsky.social•90 days ago

…I was blocking out a cosplay Ive been working on for two years and literally have been stuck, or it is taking so long that I improve a technique and go back to redo a part of it instead of just finishing as is

That and hemming organza or any slippery fabric like that

m2cosplay.bsky.social•90 days ago

Hemming organza is... 🤮
Glad you returned to do your Sailor Moon cosplay, looks great so far ❤️

korgimoon.bsky.social•90 days ago

It is. Idk how rolled hems work and sailor moon is gonna have this challenge too. But im determined to get it figured out!

m2cosplay.bsky.social•90 days ago

Go go go! 🥳🥳🥳🥳

m2cosplay.bsky.social•90 days ago

This sounds super complicated 😱
How do you do this?
Boning chanels only? Or do you have to stiffen the corset part in a way?

korgimoon.bsky.social•90 days ago

I did the whole “ tape your body” method to get the pattern, but it was like making three corsets because of all those layers. It’s been taking foreverrrrrrrr.
I watched a cosplayer on youtube whip together a longline bodysuit in a day. Like howwww

korgimoon.bsky.social•90 days ago

I wanted it to have really strong seams, so it’s lining, interfacing and then the outer illusion layer (which could have been mesh😣)— and then there is the fashion layer that makes the characters design.
The lining has the boning channels and a twill tape horizontally sewn in at the waist.

Slippery lining fabric. I know it's the best thing for coats and jackets inners, but if you wanna make me swear...

m2cosplay.bsky.social•90 days ago

Uuuh, without thinking about it, I just heard the sound of those slipping away from the sewing machine in my head 😭

sewingartist.bsky.social•90 days ago

Faux fur anything. Its such a pain and makes me want to keep a shop vac by my machine.

m2cosplay.bsky.social•90 days ago

Uuh, that's a very good idea! ❤️
And you can still find fake furr hairs (like glitter & sequins) years after you finished the project 🙈

I am legit scared of doing pants so I haven't yet lol

But I'd say sleeves are the worst. The number of times I've put the left in the right, then taken it apart only to do it again or put one in place inside out.. sleeves are stupid.

punygoddess.bsky.social•90 days ago

Zippers in stretchy fabric!

tjeika.bsky.social•90 days ago

Stretchy fabric in general is meh 😕

m2cosplay.bsky.social•90 days ago

Gosh, you're right x.x

m2cosplay.bsky.social•90 days ago

Uuuuh, special place in hell for that x.x
