A new Vlog! And Gabumon's done, on to Matt!

First I'd like to embed our latest Vlog update

The lighting isn't flattering at all, and I look really pale and tired (which I was, and the lack of makeup didn't help) but anyway, here it is. The Audio is off sync too which bothers me, but oh well.


Also I finished making Gabumon finally, and will probably take a bit of a break from that pattern before working on Matt. Staring at a bunch of squares on a screen for too long hurts my eyes X( . Anyway, here it is!


This is a really short post, but I hope you enjoy!

Update and Pattern WIP

So I again haven't had time to record vlogs, I need to sit down and just record one to show all my progress! But I'll let you know how things are going. I had to take on another project cosplay wise, for my friend Logan. Last year he cosplayed Gin from Bleach: and this year he's being Tensa Zangetsu to round out Ami and I's trio of Ichigos XD.

He had originally stated a friend of his was going to help him make his costume, but eventually, he brought it to my mom and I, and it was...simply put...HORRID! The black sleeves that were supposed to be lined with white, had been made so that the outside appeared as half black and half white, not to mention everything had been sewn with a zigzag stitch and the fabric was fraying terribly, as it had been cut with random paper scissors instead of fabric scissors or pinking shears! My mom and I are completely redoing it, and are almost done. We just need to attach the sleeves, put a white lining in the front, and make a hood. I even ordered him his wig and styled it for him, it looks fantastic~!

As for the other costumes, I'm not sure if I stated this before or not, but Hichi is completely done aside from sword and sheath, Chernobog's still not had any recent progress, but my mother's Integra costume is complete as well~!

Now onto the part I'm sure is the real reason you're reading this post. My progress so far on Matt and Gabumon, though I should just say Gabumon seeing as how he's the only one I've done any work on...


Now that I've updated you, I'm going to try to at least get Gabumon done tonight, so that I can actually work on Matt! Good night!

Pattern progress and an explanation for not posting a Vlog...twice...

Sorry for not posting a Vlog lately, last Wednesday I really had nothing to post, Alicia tried to do an Ichigo Makeup tutorial to post, but wound up (because she doesn't wear makeup outside of cosplay) pouring foundation all over herself and greatly needing my help...so Wednesday was a no-go, then Friday came around and Mom and I spent all day working on stuff and didn't get around to making a video. And today, Alicia is working so I have no one to work the camera...but I'll tell you in my own words what I've gotten done.

I have completed the pants for my Hichigo, and cut out the fabric for the shirt, Hades is absolutely complete! (YAY!!!!!), we've made a muscle shirt out of two black swimshirts for Chernobog, Mom's Integra wig came in at last, and we made new pants for Alicia because she outgrew her pants from last year.

Now that the cosplay stuff is out of the way, I'm sure you want to see what I've don so far on my Digimon pattern!


This pattern is actually going to be rather large, the reason being,I want to make it as detailed and accurate as possible. I really like drawing Gabumon out as a pattern, his stripes are fun (though a little hard to fit all of them in there). I keep having to add more graph to it so that I can make it wider and taller, and I'm sure I'll have to make it much much taller when I add Matt to the image. Overall, I love it and I hope you love it too! Now I'm going to stop typing, put on some music, and get back to working on that pattern. See Ya! <3
