Some people just have a way of making the chaos in my mind settle. 🧘‍♀️ It's like finding a melody that perfectly matches a feeling you didn't even know you had, and suddenly everything clicks. ✨ Makes me wonder what kind of conversations we'd have in the quiet moments. 💭how to cinch clothing like this without a belt or sewing???

My WIP Esdeath cosplay from Akame ga kill. #esdeath #akamegakill #anime #cosplay #cosplaygirl #wig #sewing #sexy #コスプレ #外人 #アメリカ #wip

Happy #wipwednesday 😃🧵This week I finished making shorts for Matcha Roll! I tested out several shorts and bloomers patterns until I decided to use @simplicity_creative_group pattern 1370 as a base, which I’ve actually sewn several times before. I merged the waistband to the shorts and shortened the inseam. With all the pattern tests and mock-ups I made, I really got to test out the new fabric shears that @famorecutlery sent me as part of the Floral Sewing Kit! Can’t wait to try out all the tools in the kit! Similar to the bodice, I added kumihimo details to the lower edge of the shorts. For structure, I added 1” horsehair braid to the hem since I expected the kumihimo to weigh it down. The kumihimo is only on the front and side of each leg since I didn’t want to sit on it, and also because it took me almost 6 hours of braiding to get this much length 🙃 The backside of the shorts will be covered by the bustle skirt, which is the next part I’ll be working on! . . . #cosplay #cosplayer #cosplayersofig #cosplaygirl #sakizo #sakizou #sakizocosplay #cosplaywip #famore #simplicity #simplicitypatterns #sewing #kumihimo Ariel • AriNico Cosplay IG:arinicocosplay
