I recently saw a post lamenting how expensive sewing as a hobby is, which has been nagging me all day and of course now I can’t find it anymore.
It is, in fact, quite an extensive hobby and you can get bogged down by the capitalism monster thinking you need to buy a ton of things right away. You don’t! I’ve been sewing most of my life and have been slowly collecting tools and things as I need them but you can start off real small! Here are some random tips from me to you:
Sewing patterns: there are butt loads of free patterns all over the internet. Check out Mood patterns, Peppermint magazine, and your local library for the pattern bind up books if you’re lucky. However, indie patterns are totally worth the price, especially for beginners. They tend to have great instructions and better fit than the paper patterns you can find in stores and they come from people with a real passion for sewing. If you’re going more historical costuming, some of the free patterns can be finagled, but your best bet (besides drafting) is to purchase patterns depending on your era, just avoid Sense and Sensibility patterns. You can also find vintage patterns, but the instructions and fit are a tad different than you may be used to, especially for beginners. Shameless plug anyway for my vintage pattern shop.
Fabric: don’t be scared of your thrift store! Ive found lengths of fabric a couple times, but I always check for sheets and tablecloths that I like the look and feel of. You can get natural fibers wayyyy cheaper this way and tho it’s an extra step you can dye or overdye to get the color you want. The black fabric in this stack was faded so I dyed it darker black with Rit and the yellow I dyed with marigolds from my garden.
Notions/random bits and bobs: ask your friends and family! Sewing used to be basically ubiquitous and has gone out of style so as a result there are more vintage sewing supplies in the world than you could ever want and usually people hold on to them until they can find a good home. I’ve gotten so much random bullshit from my mom and grandmas and friends just by announcing that I love to sew. Obvi don’t be rude or conspiratorial, but esp older folks love to share their love of the craft.
Machine: cheapest is to inherit one, but you can usually find some older models at thrift stores or on Craigslist/fb marketplace. I found my serger for a decent discount from a company that refurbishes sewing machines.
I hope this helps anyone who is interested in sewing but scared of the starting costs. It’s a bit of a learning and cost curve, but the internet has helped break that down so much.
I saw pill bugs on here a few weeks ago and really wanted to make my own! The pattern is a bit rough but I hope it works (I tried to get it perfect for like a week before calling it good enough).
Just print out (or copy from a screen) the first page and cut out the pattern pieces. Hopefully the pictures on page two will help but if not I will do my best to answer any questions!
Hope you enjoy and make your own lil isopod friend!
If anyone makes this, I would love to see pictures 💕
Yo. I return with pt. 2 of my cosplay shenanigans. Of any of y’all would like the patterns or instructions in more detail, feel free to put in an ask. c:
Step one: Mr. Compress mask.
Print pattern, cut two, assemble with tape and hot glue. Paper mache both sides and let dry.
Step two: Toga gear
Crochet scarf base, make cardboard boxes for the belt/thigh things, cut off tops of mini soda cans with a can opener, tape seran wrap to the top of said soda cans. (I plan on paper macheing the cans too to make them sturdier)
Step three: Mr Compress vest
I had to altar my vest pattern for this one, so it turned out a little wonky. I still gotta add buttons and hem a couple of the edges, but otherwise we’re chillin (I swear to god it looks better on a mannequin)
Greetingz, Tumblr. I’ve decided that posting my shit might make me more productive, so get ready to see some shitty cosplay. The convention is in October, and I plan on posting my (very slow) progress once every one or two weeks.
I’ve done this before. Last year my friend, my little sister and I went as characters from SpyxFamily. (The friend was Yor, my sister was Anya, and I was Loid)
I might post the stuff from last year if this gets a little bit of attention.
This year, the plan was to go as members from the League of Villains from MHA. However, my sister is a brat (don’t tell her is said that) and switched to Eri after I spent way too many hours figuring out how to do Shigaraki’s hands. BUT! I shall be going as the gay ass magician we call Mr. Compress, and my friend will be going as Toga.
Note: I will NOT! Be saying any names, ages, or any other personal details. Any of my pieces will be on a mannequin or just on a desk or something, so plz don’t expect any human models.
✨✨~ With that, I bid you ado. ~✨✨
