Current list:
08-14-14 Commissions Closed + update!
Finally caught up! I just finished posting my most recent projects to DA, with the exemption of the Xenosaga 2 jacket, which is almost done. Commissions will be closed for August and September. I am buying a new sewing machine and need to finish my Kill la Kill cosplay.
A special thanks goes out to Wandering Chaos and Pandora for letting me borrow their machine this month after mine broke down! You two are the best!
Cheers,

Outdoor upholstery: tips for beginners
:thumb166231801:
Nothing like finishing projects at 5 am! This time it's patio cushion covers once again! Each cushion is made of water repellant polyester fabric, 2" thick Nu-Foam, and 2 layers of 1" thick polyester batting. These suckers are gigantic; the smallest being 48 x 17.5 x 3" and the largest at 61 x 18.5 x 3".
This is my first time making covered buttons and 2nd time using upholstery thread. I broke my sewing machine beyond repair thanks to the super strong nylon thread and have learned many important lessons from this.
1. Fabric Tack glue is one of the few things that will form a rigid, waterproof seal on outdoor fabrics.

Venusaur draft
It's May 24th and I'm still waiting for Rudy to edit our photos from ACen 2014, but here are some of the construction notes from my Venusaur gijinka.
...I mean Venusaur?
Venusaur was designed for the Ultimate Pokedex (or U-dex) photo shoot at Anime Central 2014. Although I did not initially intend to do yet ANOTHER gijinka, my friend Jessica introduced me to the U-dex via facebook and I was captivated by their goal: photograph every pokemon and TV show character in costume. The creativity avenue was open. Fur suits, gijinkas, armored titans on stilts, exact replicas... everything and anything. The U-dex had filled almost all the kanto start
