It's been a WEEK and our boys are almost done! Honestly, the pants dominated most of the week, but the bodice should come together fairly quickly!
I started the day by finishing up my center panel. I sewed lace alone the gathering stitches and at the top of the gathers, then began working ...
Yesterday was full of difficulties once again. The sleeve pattern we though we had, we did not have. We drafted 3 sleeves, none of which we liked the fit or shape of. After hitting a wall and taking a break for a bit, we went back into the studio and I began draping a new sleeve. We finally came ...

Not a lot to write about for day 5. We didn't get a whole lot of time to work on them. We did completely finish off the shorts, though.
First, we had to pin the panels to the top and bottom of the shorts. After a bit of finessing and fiddling, we got the panels spaced how we wanted and beg...
THE PUFF PANTS ARE FINALLY DONE. KIND OF. We still need to baste the panels, sew on the leg bands and waist band, and see in the zippers. But we can finally actually see what the outcome will look like.
We started the day picking out which lace trim we wanted to use on the leg bands. Peach...
I apologize for the delay in this post. Yesterday was a bit of a disaster and we ended pretty late. Everything that could go wrong, went wrong.
The first big disaster of the day happened when we realized the massive panels for our puff pants were cut out wrong. Two inches were supposed to ...
Most of today was working on the underlayment. Not a lot of exciting stuff to show for it, but we got a LOT done.
First, we finished the under blouse by using an awl to work holes between the fibers in the back and hammered eyelets in which took so so long. Then we were finally able to lac...
WOWEEEE IM SO HAPPY TO BE WORKING ON THESE BOYS FULL FORCE!!!!!
Today we worked on the under piece. It's kind of like a corset? It's main purpose is structure. It zips up the front and laces up the back.
The first thing I started my day with was making the last little alterations I...
Hello! So... I realize it's um... a few hours before the end of the month. I'm so sorry for the radio silence most of the month. I found out earlier this month I might have cancer and waiting for all the testing and scans and screenings and bla bla bla that I have scheduled has been... difficult....

In honor of some new in-game sneak peaks of THE BOY, let's break down how I made his wig and ears!
I started by upcycling a wig from 12 years ago. I cut the wig roughly a little shorter than Tighnari's hair. To begin the dying process. I boiled a large pot of water in a stainless steal...

I wanted to make a post compiling all of the armor pieces into one post for ease of access. I had to break it into 3 files due to size. It's been a wild ride. Thank yall for sticking with me through it!
Print the last page of part 3 first at 100% to ensure the box is 2x2 inches.

Another pattern coming in hot. All that's left is his left bracers and I'll have uploaded all of Gorou's armor pieces. I want to make a masterpost with all the armor pieces in one. I'll probably throw it up on Etsy as well.

This was my very first time attempting to make a 3d printed prop. I have little to no experience in prop making, so this was UNFAMILIAR WATERS for me for SURE. To say I struggled was a massive understatement. I'm not the most upset with how it turned out but I'm definitely not the most proud eith...

Favorite portrait shot from the shoot. I froze my butt off but it was worth it for the cherry blossom trees.
I included a download link for full res again.

Patreon kills image quality more than instagram so I included a download link to the full size image.

So this was my very first time ever making REAL gloves with forcettes (the little pieces of fabric on the sides of the fingers) and it was SUCH a massive challenge!
I started with Toriander_c 's glove pattern included in her Angel Crown Sakura pattern that you can find on her etsy. It is ...
I made a whole lot of progress on Gorou this month, but I've been pretty bad about making posts about it so I hope yall don't mind being spammed over the next few dayssss
So this shirt. Hooooo boy. Where do I begin...

Boy howdy, was this a hell of a process.
So first I had to dye the fabric. The chest part of the sleeve is a dark teal and the sleeve is a gradient from the teal on the rest of his outfit to the dark teal. I only had a very limited amount of teal fabric which I ALREADY custom dyed, so ther...
Here is the Sleeve design! If you want to use this pattern on a cricut machine like I did, be sure to use include the square outlines in the image and use the dimensions 8x8 for the circular piece and 6x7 for the check piece.

Uhhh yeah here's this piece!! This piece is bigger than an 8.5 by 11 piece of paper so you'll have to either print it on a printer that can tile or tile it in a program.

Uh idk what to name this piece nor do I know what the official name for this type of armor piece after a considerable amount of googling. The closest I could find was Kusazuri which is usually an entire skirt made of these plates so.... yeah front plate it is. Anyway! Here is the PDF download

Part of what makes Gorou such a complicated and difficult boy his gratuitous amount of layered accessories. I didn't think it was possible to have so many things tied around a waist and yet here we are (and I'm still missing the white wrappings of his undergarments)
First, I had to make h...
