 Hi everyone! I've been working on something in silence for a while and would love to finally share here! (Been very silent even on my social media..) Summer convention season is getting closer, so it's now or never to start making costumes! The first one for this Summer for me is Briar Rose, or Aurora from Sleeping Beauty! Yes! My first Disney cosplay!  There are many reasons for this character specifically, the original idea came while playing Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Always wanted to cosplay a Disney princess at some point so I raided my fabric stash and surprise surprise! I have something I can finally put to use. Also Don calls me "Prinsessa Ruusunen" (finnish version of Sleeping Beauty) since I'm a heavy sleeper and always tired, so there's that too. He chuckled while I was making this.  So cute! ~𝆕 I love her princess gown (has been one of my favorites since I was a kid!), but right now I don't have fabrics for a pink or blue one (or money to...

 Hi everyone! Kicking this year off with a comfy cosplay project from one of my favorite animes! :D I love a simple cosplay I can just throw on and chill when feeling overwhelmed. Fern from Frieren is perfect for that. Here she is! :3 I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I found this anime through TikTok. I showed a clip of it to my boyfriend, whom of course, has read some of the manga before the anime came out. I should've known better. We still watched it together and really loved it. It's beautiful story about saying good bye, a sad and difficult, but also necesssary lesson to learn. I really want to cosplay the main protagonist, Frieren at some point, but for now Fern would be easier as her outfit is a breeze to put together, I also have a pair of purple lenses lying around waiting for use (that weren't as good as I thought). Also Fern is a great character! Determined, doesn't like to waste time and also, a very talented mage! I bought the wig from Coscraft. The ...

 Hi everyone! Now that I have worked on Hoshino Ai's base wig, it's time to move on to the next parts. Today we are working on the side ponytail and the hair accessories plus underskirt. Let's go! You remember those wefts I left aside for the ponytail?  Those are relevant now. Not only I have the wefts, but I also have some hairpieces I have turned into tiny wefts with the help of hot glue. I have also unraveled and straightened some pink yarn and added some tinsels to the wefts, all I now need is a hair clamp? clip? Some net fabric and rubber band. the stuff First I sewed the two net pieces together. After that I adjusted the elastic on the net and folded the edges around it, then stitched it again! After that I could finally sew the wefts on to it. Putting the ones with hot glue to the bottom and building up from there. The net, almost sewn I started sewing wefts ~❤ The final piece attached to the other side to cover up that net line. After the sewing I shaped the hairpie...
