I would love to go, I hear great things about it. It's the lovely matter of getting good grades to get approval to go and finding a friend to drag along with me. Both not-so-fun tasks. A question for people who have gone already, on the site the map of the hotels makes the hotels look really close ...

I love Seattle! :D OMG! And the fabric stores they have! I would kill for some of that here, theres a clearance ware house for one small chain *cant think of the name* and the prices are EXCELLENT! A lot of the stuff is the same things Joanns carries at full price are there for a fraction. The fabr...

First things first, Go to the library and check out a basic sewing book, and see if there is a pattern drafting book there as well. Take those home and read it and come back to the boards with more questions that the book didn't answer!

If you're planning on getting colored contacts- or contacts at all. You need to consult an optomitrist. Whether you wear glasses or not. They need to see th shape of your eye and how your espond to a piece of plastic attaching itself to your eye for maybe more than 12 hrs. An eye exam shouldn't be t...

Rikku in FF X2 doesn't have blue things, she wears a bikini top and a pair of green shorts. Her FIRST outfit from FF X has her wearing a princess seamed sleeveless orange shirt with blue accents attached to her shoulder blades. I believe most people make those from cotton broadcloth in the color the...

Lordy lordy, this is going to be your first costume?! *sigh* I hope you know you're going to spend a lot of money and time on this costume. Have you sewn before? Have you hand painted fabric before? Do you know where to get feathers and how to attach them? I don't think I'd even bother taping my che...

Ah, I do realize that this is slightly off topic, but did anyone know that name of the person who makes the patterns on cosplay.com? Im very interested in patternmaking. There are a lot of people on Cosplay.com that make their own patterns. Are you talking about one particular person in general, or...

Hahahaa, this is silly. No one just has a pattern for everything they see as far as cosplay. There are some people that do make patterns for people and sell them. I know that this one lady sells Sailor Moon patterns, and another lady on Cosplay.com and make custom patterns, but it's true, that ther...

http://www.acparadise.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3306 Read that thread. Also, it would be nice of you to specify what you needed help with. Telling us you need help with said costume, help me now; Is not helpful to you or us. Also, a lot of people don't appreciate it when others straight out demand ...

Hmm, you chose some challenging costumes to really get into cosplaying. Really your costume work depends on how well you already know how to sew. Certain techniques and how things should look and be sewn. If you can answer me this, young grasshopper :wink: , I will divulge my knowledge. Otherwise, I...

Hahahaa, this is silly. No one just has a pattern for everything they see as far as cosplay. Of course there are the few as in Kimono and Hakama, but those are traditional clothing with patterns dating back thousands of years. Kairi from Kingdom Hearts 2 is a fictional character with a costume desig...

From the looks of it, Sango is wearing "peasant" wear over her... bodysuit? You can find a useful pattern to help you create her "blouse" from this company http://www.folkwear.com/asian.html. they have very good traditional patterns from other cultures. I'm sure you can even find a pattern to make a...

just to let you know, I made my kimono from the butterick pattern for my Fuu costume. It turned out nicely.
