Winter is coming..

.. And so does winter conventions! o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o

I was planning to go only Desucon Frostbite, but last week I tough I should go to Yukicon as well. :3
So there is two conventions in winter and to cosplays coming up !

I had birthday at the other day (6th) so I went I bought my self a sewing machine !
She is so gorgeous and goooood and I really, really like it ^^

Isn't she the cutest sewing machine ever? ;w;  ..no? ok.

So I was super pumped and I wanted to start to make cosplays right away!
And I did.

I started it at the last Friday and now it's almost done.! Omg, I am actually finishing a costume in less than a week? :O The costume itself is not too complicated, but still I'm quite proud of myself~

And what is this cosplay I am talking about, you might ask?

Last week I found a group that was looking for Love Live! cosplay group for Yukicon at the finnish cosplay site in Facebook. I really liked Snow Halation designs and I decided to join. So I watched the anime and I choose to cosplay Umi.
And I thought this might be the change for me to go to con on my own! ..But my sister tagged along, so maybe next time ;>

So this is the cosplay I'm talking about

I started with the pants, but since I didn't took so good pictures of them, I decided not to put pictures here :'> But they are almost done !

Then I did patterns (with my own style) for the shirt and sewed it together.

I also made normal sleeves for the first time ! It wasn't that hard to make them, and nowdays there are very good tutorials online.

After all that I sewed light pink ribbons and some fur to the edges.

Few details are still missing, but I found super cute buttons for the costume :

I also made a hat and arm warmers, both of them were quite easy to make. And I found great tutorial for the hat ^^

There is still some fixing for the shoulder part, but it's almost done too:

I also got the ribbon fabrics ready, so there is so little left to do.. ^^

***
So yeah, it's almost done. Few details are missing, but still. ^^
I quite happy with the result.

At the weekend I'll probably gonna go to buy more fabrics. And if I'll finish this costume this week, I'm going to start the second one for the Desucon Frostbite. :3

I'll tell you next time what that cosplay is.. ;>

End of the Con season, Tracon 9

Ohhai, it's me again :'>

So!
I somehow lost almost all my Ayane progress photos and I can't find them anywhere, so I'll just talk about Tracon and put some progress pictures later when I find  them :'>

This time we went to Tracon with bigger group of people;

Me as Ayane and my sister, Chuiga as Kasumi

Ninnu as Nyotengu

Kis from Aion, Kahrun Leather Set

And of course our slaves Ninnu's and Chuiga's boyfriends. ^^

At Saturday we woke up very early and we had to dress up, put our make-up and eat at the same time :'> We are always in the hurry when it comes to Con mornings.
Then we went to minibus and picked up Ninnu, her boyfriend and Kis and we headed to the Tampere where Tracon was.

When we arrived to the Con, me and Chuiga has minor problems with our costumes. Hers was falling apart and I had problems with attaching my armor pieces. :'> Oh well. Finally we got our costumes fixed and we went to line up our ticket to the WCS and such.

We walked around a bit and because some people are careless and don't watch where they are going, my sword holder snapped and I tried to fix it the rest of the day. Also Chuiga's armor was falling apart too, because of some careless people who were pumping to us at the hallways.

We also took some photoshoot at the Saturday, but we shooted more at Sunday.

When we went to the hotel to sign us in, me and Chuiga changed to half-normal clothes. Because there was WCS coming and after that we went to eat and sitting around in my costume was really hard :'>

Also ! I forgot to take extra shoes with me, so I had to walk high heels all day ;__; I'll have to remember that next time.

I really enjoyed the WCS competition and the winners really did deserved to win !
Those costumes was made with quality and I really enjoyed their skits. ^^

I really got inspiration to make my own costumes!

***

We had lovely breakfast in the hotel at Sunday.

And almost right away we went to photoshoot more our cosplays. ^^

Sneaky peaky attack

Ayane was about to steal Kasumi's 3DS :'>

Epic battle between Nyotengu and Ayane

And I had watery eyes and running nose all day.. :'(

"Love is an open doooooor~!"

****

I went and bought my self a Panda Kigurumi and Zelda shirt. Oh, and also birthday present to my older brother; Surfing Jesus. Yep.

At some point little group of guys approach us and asked for a photo. One of them had Hitomi hoodie, I want hoodie like that so bad :'< And he said that he had in frankly two Hitomi hoodies and one Kasumi college jacket. So unfair! I would love to talk to them more, but we had to go.

Also there was this one girl who said that she love DoA -series and she was so cute ^^

**

It's always weird when Con ends. It would last a day longer, if you ask me, tough my feet didn't agree. Two days in high heels was enough for me :'>

I left with super inspired to do my own cosplays and plan upcoming cosplays~ That was great!
