This is exactly the same stuff as Instamorph. And guess what? Instamorph is actually cheaper. A 400g (gram) bag of Plastimake is $30 (Can you say ouch?) Where as a 12 ounce jar of Instamorph is only $17. Why is this important? 12 ounces =  roughly 340 grams. That’s almost that same amount, but wayyyy cheaper. Not only that, but it seems Plastimake is currently out of stock? Further, Instamorph also has colour packets  for $12, and Plastimake’s are $15.

I’m not saying Plastimake is bad, i’m just saying if you aren’t exactly rich, it’s good to have a cheaper alternative that’s just as good.

Prop Tips: Quick Ways To Battle Damage

With all this hype on getting Worbla super smooth ( check out Edo’s tutorial that I’m trying right now to get mega smooth and clean worbla looking worbla ) so I figured I’d show on how to get battle damaged looking props; like props that look like they have been used and such.

YAAAAY 🎉

my Making of Lum Cosplay video is up ⚡️ 

Watch me make my Lum cosplay from start to finish! Hopefully this is helpful to anyone wanting to cosplay her in the future 💓!

Someone asked that this be rebloggable so HURR YOU GO

Some patterns are really dumb in telling you to finish the body of an outfit, then finish the sleeve, then attach a circle to a circle. It’s possible to do, and once in a while it’s necessary, don’t get me wrong, but unless you have a lot of experience it’s sometimes very aggravating trying to evenly distribute the sleeve around the “hole” cut out for it and match up the seams under the armpit!

(Please note…some patterns, especially to achieve tailored looks, require you to do it the traditional way. Don’t use this method for fashion school assignments or super-complex garments as it will probably screw up the way it ends up fitting in the end. This is mostly for the use of cosplayers to make their job a little easier.)

EDIT:// thevvioletprince, a fashion student, says she’s been taught this method in school so HAVE FUN, NEVER MIND

EDIT DEUX:// If you are doing a traditional garment of some kind, for instance, something that has a multi-piece sleeve or that requires gathers, you may need to do it the “old-fashioned way”!

ANYWAY SO THIS IS WHAT I DO.

This video is meant to teach the most basic of straight line stitches and a rolled hem on a sleeve hole.

Terms covered in this video are:  

Straight line stitch (or seam) - exactly as it sounds. A stitch at that moves in a single straight line from the top to the bottom (or vice versa) of the seam.

Hem- Hemming is the process in which the edge is rolled flush to itself, while a seam joins the edges of two materials. Hems are commonly used to reinforce an edge, hide burrs and rough edges, and improve appearance.  

Rolled Hem- folding over the raw edge of the fabric once and then again to give a clean finished edge to the work.  

Raw Edge - Where the cut can be seen on the edge of the fabric. Raw edges can be sewn together or separate. It’s where ever the fabric is not finished.  

Seam Allowance -  The Seam allowance is how much space is between the thread and the edge of the fabric. I saw sewing with a ¼ inch seam allowance, most people sew with a ½ inch to 5/8 inch seam allowance.  

Hey friends! Long time no post to this blog! Real life’s been kickin me in the pants lately so cosplaying has become a rare occurance for me, but since I had a little time to post this small tutorial to my IG, I figured I’d also post it here too!
