Cosplay Progress

So I finally started making some progress on my Rogue Inquisitor cosplay. Mainly I determined that the pattern for the vest wasn’t going to work and I’m scrapping that for now…

But I suppose that’s all part of it, right? Trial and error? Luckily I wasn’t confident enough in the pattern, to begin with, so I didn’t use the only (perfectly colored) leather I had for the vest. Instead, I used some leftover vinyl to test it. While I figure out what to do with it, I’m going to start working on the coat. For which I am happy to report I finally found the fabric I wanted. I already have a pattern that I think will be a good starting point.

New game and other stuff

So I decided to play DreadOut, following my Uncanny Valley adventure. I started today, and OMG it’s terrifying! I genuinely had to debate whether I could continue playing, but for the time being I have decided to soldier on! (we’ll see how long that lasts…)

I have also taken the time to unpack and try to arrange some of my cosplay materials and tools. I think I finally found all my fabrics and most of my tools. However I realized that my sewing machine didn’t make the move intact. For starters I can’t find it’s power cable, and second the piece that holds the spool broke off…so…yeah. Can’t really use a sewing machine without the spool. I also have to go check back into the boxes to find my fabric chalk. I have now ordered a new sewing machine and just have to wait for it to get here. On the upside it’s a slight upgrade from my last one, so this should be fun!

In the meantime today I found my jewelry making supplies, and found that at some point I had started a necklace that I had never gotten around to finishing. I realized that I had some new pieces that would fit well with the design, so I decided to finish it.
