Yep I'm still here anon, your requests will be up in a min

>>7184245
(and on second thought you don't want the pumpkin one, something's definitely wrong with it)

Anything on how to make shields?

>>7184303
only one I have is >>>7170290

Hey, I've been compiling a bunch of the tutorials posted in these threads and other places on a pinterest board. There are almost 150 pins, with a whole bunch of different stuff

>pinterest.com/hitsuzen/cosplay-tutorials/

I haven't really been lurking lately so I'm probably missing a lot of the recent ones, but there are a lot of the ones that are reposted a lot in these threads, and a bunch of others that seemed helpful

>>7184237
Hey, do you know any alternative names for the horse hair braid? I can't find it in my country

>>7184258
Can I ask what book/issue this is from?

sites google com/site/frameacloud/2/quadruped_costume

this website gives some pretty good advice on quadsuits.

>>7184565
No idea, unfortunately. I only ever got the 1 pic, just assumed it was from GLB

>>7185992

>>7185996
Sort of applies?

>>7185999

>>7179857
for the anon in the last thread who was looking for an apron tutorial
http://sew-loli.livejournal.com/395156.html

>>7185992
Where would I get Worbla?

>>7186087
Are you located in the US, or Europe?

As far as I'm aware, Yaya is the only one who sells Worbla in the US. In Europe I'm unsure.

>>7186135
different anon, but how about Canada?

does anyone have a tutorial on how to make one of these?
I can only find one but it dealt with paper.

>>7186178
It's just ribbon. Take ribbon and fold it over itself to make the back bow. Sew it into place in a few spots. Then the middle ribbon, ruffle a single ribbon around in a circle. Sew it so the ruffles hold. Then put the back ribbons on. Cut them appropriately. Use clear nailpolish or burn the edges to keep from fraying. Put the button in the middle.
Ta-da.

Just play around with some ribbons.

>>7186232
I've just started to learn how to sew so just saying how to do it doesn't help me I need some pictures that's why I posted in this thread.
I know it looks simple but for a person like me I need a visual guide.

Bump

Thank god they only used that nasty font for the main titles. You can't read it worth shit,

>>7187435
Looks like shit, to be completely honest. At least it'll be hidden by a hat.

>>7187435
I'm having a hard time understanding the point of this tutorial??

It's basically How To Cut Wig:
Step 1. Cut Wig.
Step 2. Cut Wig.
Step 3. Cut Wig.

>>7184245
>>7184253
Thank you very much, Anon!
I'm a little confused about how the construction on the kirby goes, though. It just isn't really piecing together in my head.

>>7187495
I'm assuming it's to help people who don't know how to do Link's hair, but the end result still isn't tutorial-tier amazing

>>7187504
you basically just kinda piece the almond-shaped pieces together like a football, if that helps? Not sure how best to explain it.. Here's what the finished product should look like, for reference

>>7187588
Ah wait nevermind I found the 'official' instructions, will copypasta here:

"1. Cut four of the "football" pieces.

2. Cut four of the arm pieces, two of each of the feet. Sew the feet and the hands pieces up, leaving the hole seams open.

3. Cut holes on two of the football panels so you can insert your feet and hands.

4. Sew them in!

5. Sew your four football pieces up to make the ball. Leave a small hole on the back so you can stuff.

6. Stuff the plush.

7. Sew up the hole using the ladder stitch, or some other hidden stitch.

8. Print out the face on a printer-transfer, or draw your own.

9. Iron on the face! I use JoAnn Taylor's Quickfuse Fabric Sheets, but you can use iron-on transfers too.

10. Cuddle your new Kirby plush. =D"

Does anyone have a women's collared dress shirt pattern/tutorial? I've been looking for one all over.

I had the same problem, and unfortunately I don't have one to post, but what I can suggest is what I ended up doing:
go to a value village or whatnot, find a super-cheap blouse relatively close to your size (can be bigger, doesn't have to actually fit) and just take apart the seams, noting which pieces go together with which.
Eventually, once they're all separate and laid out flat, you'll have a basic blouse pattern, which you can then easily adjust and reconstruct into whatever you'd like to make!

Then you only have to worry about finding tutorials and such for the little changes you want to make; and individual elements like different collars and sleeve techniques are much easier to find tutorials for (pic related)

>>7187734
bigger image please

does anyone have anything on prop guns or how to make airsoft guns con safe?

>>7189497
squint. zoom in on photoshop. buy a fuckin magnifying glass cause that's the only size I have

>>7189703
Girls you need to learn how to reverse image shit, yo.

And remember, if you're posting a tutorial, always try to post a PNG version if possible. JPG is great for photography and art and things like that, but it is god awful at rendering text.

>>7187734
You might want to leave the orange tips on when you do this, in some places it's illegal to have replica guns without orange tips and it can get you into serious shit.

>>7186087

Don't buy from Yaya. Her prices are lower but then she charges an obscene amount for shipping and then takes forever to send it out. Also,
>giving Yaya your money

Cosplaysupplies.com has good service and free shipping. Buy from them.

Question: Worbla vs Wonderflex. Which is better? I'm trying out prop/armor making with thermoplastics and such for the first time later this year and wondering which would be better to use...

1/2

Anyone got an advice or (even better) tutorials on how to make the high necked vest or the sleeve collars on this character?

>>7190853

>>7190847
From what I've heard, Wonderflex is better for beginners.

>>7190865
I may have worded that a little ambiguously, I'm not a beginner in terms of prop-making and such, but just usually with different materials, as I couldn't find anywhere in my country to get these kinds of thermoplastics until recently

Difficulty aside, I'm just wondering in terms of overall quality, weight, texture, etc which ones you swear by/would be an overall better choice to order?

>>7190856

stiff interfacing for the collar, idk what you mean by 'sleeve collar' though

>>7186058
w-what if you have bigger eyelids

also how to smile with eyes, I don't understand


any make-up tutorials?

>>7194800
>also how to smile with eyes, I don't understand
When people are seriously smiling and not faking, their bottom eyelid will move up with their cheeks. That's smiling with your eyes.

If you don't you look fake or like a rapist.

>>7194806

oh I have a problem with my eyes looking completely shut when I smile or try to smile with my eyes and If I don't then I look baked because of my heavy eye lids

I don't know how to fix this

>>7184512
It's also sometimes called crinoline.

>>7190847
I think Kamui did some comparisons of the two and gave the pros and cons.
If not, someone did because I've seen videos about it. Google a bit, you'll probably find some good comparison notes.

Gonna dump some of my tutorials now that the other thread has closed.

Sorry, but it is not the same thing.

I might try this. I have stupid long lashes though, which while are great for looking pretty, make contacts a bitch and a half to get in.

>>7194885
Maybe curl them first?

>>7194886

>>7194891

>>7194897

>>7194861
What is the difference then? I've seen plenty of sites that sell horsehair braid refer to it as crinoline as well.

Thanks, that's super useful. I'd never thought of that.

>>7194949

>>7194952

every damn tutorial thread, it's always the same tutorials. anyone got any thing different? jesus, guys.

>>7194955

>>7194959
>>7194956
I always see a few new ones pop up every thread that I'm sure to save. I'd never seen OP's before.
Hopefully dumping yours will encourage others to dump theirs.

>>7194956
How about instead of bitching you go out and find some more shit to contribute?

Beggars can't be choosers, the only way you can change something is by participating.

>>7194952
jesus, she looks really creepy...

>>7194963
Here's a Jolteon plush tutorial. Pattern to follow.

>>7194968
Pattern for the Jolteon plush.

>>7194967
I hear she's rather on the creepy side. Wears the same suit every convention and stands around trying to look good.

>>7194974

>>7194976
Be sure to add on any details to the hat before you sew in the loop for the elastic band. I made some super goofy mistakes on my first go rounds.

Crinoline is a finished garment. It may have horsehair braid IN it. But crinoline itself is not horsehair braid.

>>7194998

>>7195001

>>7195005
And that's all for me.

But from the sewing help thread, someone posted the full PDF for Patternmaking for Fashion Design, and the download is here

Might come in handy here, too.
Many thanks.

That's not very polite, anon.

>>7194885
i didn't post that here, but i'm the one who drew it, and i think i need to try again because the instructions could be much clearer. f-for you, anon, even without a diagram to follow:
wash your hands and try to dry them with something that won't leave fibers all over your fingers!

you want your eyes to be wetter than your fingertip when putting on the contacts, so it may be easier to use an eyedrop before putting the lens in, because this helps it 'grab' onto your eyeshape faster.

face the mirror, and either turning your head to the side, or tilting your chin down, you want to expose enough sclera (the whiteness of your eye) that the entire contact will fit there. (you'll need to hold at least your bottom lid down, and maybe your upper lid. this could be a two-handed operation while you get the hang of it.)

once the contact is on your eyeball, then look into it, then blink.

et voila~

>>7195762
>you want your eyes to be wetter than your fingertip

Oh man, that might be why I freaking suck so much! My fingers are always really wet with solution.
