/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

A-kon is only a three-hour round trip for me, so I'll probably go on Friday and/or Saturday. I've been wanting to cosplay lately but I'll probably just go in normie clothes as usual. It's easier to move around without people stopping you for photos anyway. If I DID cosplay, it'd be Yuna from Final Fantasy 10.

I used to take sewing lessons but I haven't done anything with those skills aside from fixing small things here and there for the past decade. After being chubby all my life, I'm now getting fit and lean. Despite this, I've been getting more and more inspired by cosplayers I see online, so I want to create a really nice handmade and accurate cosplay.

My biggest issue is with the pattern on the skirt and obi. My embroidery skills are nonexistent so I may have to buy those online (and the staff), and I'm kind of sad about that. Technically, I COULD do it, but it would take a very, very long time to achieve it.
