Skirt flowers down :D



Okayyy. Back to Final Fantasy ten now that i've-- made Gippal's Cloak, made Rikku's skirt, helped paine with her shawl thing (is that what that should be called?), headbands, um-- and everything else that doesn't make much sense when it comes to final fantasy ten. Mainly cause we're in an alternative reality right now-- nerd joke-- get it?


Momma got this embroidery machine for her birthday and it's seemed like a god blessing when it comes to this costume. Haven't seen anyone else do their flowers with an actual embroidery machine yet! It's a brother p770, and takes a lot of weird files and loads of fun complicated things.


This is the pattern that we bought from an embroidery website (here.) We (mainly Niki actually), removed the leaves, re-colored the flower itself, and removed the happy holidays (Because the flower was supposed to be a Pointsetta-- though most Pointsetta's don't look like this). Wow that's a lot of parenthesis in a paragraph.


The flowers had to then be uploaded via a usb, and then put into the machine itself. We made three different sizes... Which i thought I had a picture of i guess i don't. There were three different sizes, and then I placed all the little flowers and pinned them to the skirt where I wanted mom to put them. She then embroidered the entire skirt for me :D


Here are all the flowers done. Now i'm working on getting my main artist over here to draw the scribbles on the skirt, which we'll do on a normal sewing machine, as per mom. Uhhh. I guess that's it? Sorry I don't have more pictures. Happy Cosplay! :D

I'll probably have a giant post soon about all the other costumes and their progress as per nobody uploads their blogs, though they are all authors on here-- <<;;;. Back to sewing!
