RB's motivation: Technicalities GTFO!!

Alright so another insomnia night coming off this! Had to just figure out a bunch of things that needed to be sewn in that night, now granted there's always more but it was nice to take some of the small stuff off the list. Cause most of it was just EATING AT ME. And another reason why I need my own machine, so no binge parties. 

Here is a Twilight jacket/cardigan Tricia gave me that I just wanted to tweak. The lower right is the real color of the jacket, very fuzzy wool. Mainly turned a turtle neck into a useless hoodie. And cut it down the middle. Was going to add buttons but it's pretty small and I kind of am okay without buttons right now

Here's the hood sort of, can't really figure it out in the picture. And here's the amazing pink stitching b/c I FUCKING HATE CHANGING BOBBINS.

Next on ponies I tackled the fluttershy sweater. The knit material was actually two thick to sew so i just did it by hand really cept for hemming.

I love the sleeves, but not digging the extra collar, real scratchy.

This was a really anal thing for me. Just buttons, then the button holes to sew. But it's finally done, and from now on only 3 buttons. Unless I fix the last buttonhole I'm only gonna be goin for 3/4



Now this took fucking forever. I didn't think it would but the fabric was too thick for the machine really, berets are difficult, closed garmet, and the thread kept piling up and jamming the machine. Bad things.....


It doesn't cling to my head like I wanted but it does sit intact which is fine for now. Also I get a pocket!


And honestly that is the most artist thing you could do it put a pocket in your beret for storage....I don't have a pic right now but I did just add the medallions to the hat and it looks very complete now. So Kugel Mugel is FOREVER DONE

Yeah not really high enough expectations!

Hungary makeup tutorial and Hungary Cosplay Spot light!

Yup! They are back! More makeup tutorials for people to enjoy! I wish I had more pictures of this cosplay to show everyone but this will have to do. I have a lot of fun doing Hungary and I have to say I love the new wig I have for her. This is one of the cosplay's I'm most proud of :>

I actually filmed a video on how to make her dress(or how I made it). One day I will complete it and show it off to the world!

lulu vs patterns: I got my hungary dress!

Yes I finally finished the dress! Now this was the second dress I made this season without a pattern. I used a combination of previously seen diy videos on youtube, a pinterest post, a visual aid in the form of clothes I own, common sense and my own dumb luck.
Now note how none of that said I used a tape measure. And confession time... use a freaking tape measure!!! I wasted a lot (really a lot) of time making it bigger when in fact I didn't need to.

Now I used a video made for the free peoples blog on how to make a diy corset out of a tshirt. I simply traced a very worn tshirt that was streched out already but still make it a bit bigger(1 to 2in) for a bit of wiggle room. The shirt should be cut to the length you need it. I need it to hit at my hips so I cut it a little longer then that.

Now the skirt I took the left over material, a yard or so and I cut it to a good length and then I sewed a straight libe at the top and gathered it so it would fit the top nicely. Then of course I sewed it together.

Used this for it  http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2012/05/sewing-tip-making-and-attaching-gatheredruffled-fabric.html

For the sleeves I used a bubble skirt tutorial and meaured out the arm opening. I just added like 2 inches to be safe.

Used this as a referance for the sleeve http://www.simplesimonandco.com/2012/03/bubble-skirt-tutorial.html

Honestly I love it. I had a similar apron to hungary's so I took a good look at it and coppied it. So in other words I took measurements and I traced parts onto the white fabric I used.
