Another spring…another cosplay. Today I am showing the pants and top for the Ciri cosplay. This is Ciri from The Witcher 3. She is a warrior. She wears a lot of leather. To start I made her pants out of a faux leather apparel fabric. They are supposed to be leather and are cut in […]
I knew that my daughter wanted to be Ciri for many, many months, but I was stumped on how to make a few of the items. The metal belt that Ciri wears is one of them. I wasn’t sure how I would make it so that all of the pieces were the same. I knew […]
Time to get some summer sewing done, right? Well, I actually made these a few months ago, but she finally wore them this week when we were hit with a warm spell. She told me that she couldn’t wear jean shorts to school anymore. The hell? I looked up the online dress code and it […]
Even though I have way too many things on my plate (like usual), I thought this pattern was very cute. I volunteered to test it, and it did turn out very cute! Wardrobe by Me Amelia Bomber Jacket Outfit details: Jeggings made by me, top – CAbi, boots – American Eagle I used some Nanette […]
A few years ago, I pinned this picture on my Things To Make board on Pinterest. I love the look of this top, and figured I could just hack a t-shirt pattern or something to make it. As part of my wardrobe capsule, I wanted to make that top…finally. After having sewn up the Sneha […]
In many female cosplay costumes, a corset is a integral part of the costume. There are a lot of “period” (however fictitious the period may be) costumes, where corsets are the norm for the female characters. Ciri’s corset is more of a protection. It is made of leather. From the pictures, it doesn’t appear to […]
Upon (mostly) perfecting the pattern for the misshapen top, I decided to try to make it into a dress. This top part drapes to the side, so it needs to be wider than you would think. If you take your normal top pattern that has some generous room at the waist, add about 10″. […]
I have had the hardest time making jeggings. I made a few pairs a few years ago and didn’t wear them. They ended up in the charity pile. I thought I would tackle this project again with my wardrobe capsule. I decided to use this dark denim that has a brown underlying dye to it, […]
There is a little girl, who I have known since birth, that requested a dance costume from me. You see, last year when she chose her individual costume for her dance performance, she got it from a catalog. *shocked gasp* An entire team had also chosen that dance outfit for their performance, so needless to […]
When I was thinking about my wardrobe capsule, I wanted to use what I had in my fabric stash. This was not hard, as I have a lot. I have been drawn to lighter colors these days, so I took out my creamy neutrals and started planning the individual pieces I was going to make. […]
