Had a great time at Metrocon on Saturday, despite running on zero sleep. I had so much more planned for my “bone throne” for the last minute fem!Sukuna from JJK that I threw together as fast as possible, but sadly, like 70% of what I made didn’t even get implemented into this first run. Regardless that I was feeling bummed about having to settle for the very unfinished version of my initial vision, the response I got from others was frankly surprisingly positive. All day I had people complementing my costume & makeup, but I was also repeatedly *specifically* praised for incorporating my wheelchair as a throne for the “[Queen] of Curses”.
It’s Disability Pride Month, so I felt like it was the perfect time to FINALLY start incorporating my chair into my cosplays. I just wish I’d been able to actually complete the vision I had in mind. I *will* be finishing it up and breaking this costume out again (with my hubby joining me as my Itadori), with all the literal HUNDREDS of plastic bones I hand painted for this project included, which are still sitting in a pile of my craft mess as of right now 🫠

taking some time today to discuss xiao! specifically the upgrades i made to him for metrocon 2023. i did so much experimenting with new techniques and materials, so i wanted to share that here to document, and maybe inspire some of my fellow artists/cosplayers!
i don’t think i could ever properly explain how happy i was after remaking xiao’s shirt. the previous version (which was purchased) fit really poorly, and the fabric was not great. it constantly pulled out from the waist of the pants and it practically blocked any airflow. the solution was simple: remake it from a bodysuit. that way the shirt not only stayed in place but also already gave me a much better form-fitting base to start out with. the mesh panel in the back was the part i worried about the most but ended up being the part i’m happiest with! i used power mesh that i hand dyed to be close to my skin tone (though the color isn’t very clear due to my binder’s color).
the swirling pattern on the bodysuit is a metallic white fabric paint. i made a digital drawing of the pattern on procreate, then printed it onto freezer paper. after cutting it out with an exacto knife, you can actually iron freezer paper onto fabric (shiny side facing the fabric) and it creates a nearly seamless stencil for fabric paint! i see myself using this technique a lot in the future, it’s literally perfect!!
the black leather piece at the neck and shoulders was my biggest obstacle. not only have i never worked with leather, but it is also a non-stretch material i’d be attaching to the collar/neck portion that very much needed to be able to stretch to be pulled on. thankfully the design worked out that i could have 2 closure points, one on the back of the neck and one at the front of the neck. the entire piece is hemmed by folding over and gluing the raw edge to the inside, then i glued hem tape over those raw edges to cover them and make them softer on the skin (the entire leather piece is unlined, due to its complex shape). all the visible edges of the leather were satin stitched to give them a clean, crisp edge. the gold appliqués on the front and back are 2mm eva foam covered in a gold stretch fabric, then glued onto the bodysuit with e6000!
the two white pieces that frame the mesh panel on the back gave me more difficulty than i expected. their shape is a bit deceiving, and needing them to lie flat on my back without sacrificing the stretch of the main garment meant i couldn’t just top stitch them onto the back. and while i’m not super happy with how they ended up aligning (where they meet at the top is much further down than i was aiming for), i still think it came out really nice!
and that’s the finished top!
here’s a front and back of the finished top! the sleeve is held up with clear bra straps that hook onto the inside of the shirt at the shoulder. all in all, i absolutely love how this newer shirt came out.
besides the shirt/bodysuit, the boots also got an upgrade! i snagged some boots on sale on amazon for $20, which was an insane steal! this style is very universal for so many costumes, and it also helps that the boots are comfortable and flat too! all of the accessories on the boots are affixed temporarily or from the inside (velcro, snaps, and elastic) so that the integrity of the outer boot remains untouched and i can reuse them for several costumes and even everyday wear. i also replaced the gold piece around the neck that holds the “scarf.” just like the pieces on the shirt, it is 2mm foam covered in gold fabric. this not only helps the gold elements feel more cohesive but also lies a lot more comfortably on my neck!

When I went to MetroCon, I got to meet Robbie Daymond, and he signed my prop gun for free because he liked my Happy Chaos outfit
I am very normal about things

You told me, Sleep, I’ll wake you in the morning.
I asked, What is morning? and you said,
When everyone who fucked with me is dead.

This was a really great experience today, thank you to everyone who took pictures with me!
This opportunity gave me the motivation to cosplay again after a long time, and I look forward to my next project.

frieren dress mock up update! <3
old -> new
(ignore the missing sleeve, i forgot to make a full length pattern for them so i had to harvest one)
on the original mock up i used a full circle skirt but it was soooo full that i just couldn't bring myself to love it. this new version is a 1/4 circle skirt which looks so much more accurate to frieren's design that im just soooo in love!
prepped my fabric today too so i'm nearly ready to start sewing the actual cosplay soon!
