It's not as if I'm a preppy obsessed fan, but I do believe the color schmes work really well for the Ouran Host Club. I'm sure a light blue could have had the same affect, but I wasn't the one who made it and who knows, perhaps I'll change it again. <br /><br />I can't make it to my sewing class, which bites, but because I have a really simple pattern such as a nurse shirt and scrub pants I've decided just to do it by myself and learn my own way along the process. Experience is learning right? I have such a great friend, whose name will go unmentioned because I feel the need too do so, but she's awesome in the aspect that she's patient with me and doesn't mind sharing a few secrets. I've read about a million post from cosplayers who will say "The iron is your best friend" and I sort of believe that.<br /><br />I still haven't lost the fear that my first shirt will be a disaster ;.; so I cry in the process.. It's really tedious at times though, all the pinning and ironing, cutting and preparation just takes forever. e.e I give my credit to those guys who do work really hard or for that matter, sew their own costumes!<br /><br />My goal is to cosplay Konohamaru, I'm hoping my car will be fixed so that I can not only have it for the anime expo, but also so I can work and save up the cash for it. His outfit - pattern wise, looks really simple and because I have a lot of dummy material, I can make a bunch of mistakes before attempting the real one. <br /><br />I did end up converting an old pair of jeans into those jean skirts - the kind you see chicks walking around with half the time in Southern Cali, but it didn't come out too well. It would if I just added lace over the mistakes and such &lt;_&lt; oh well. I bent one too many needles jamming in the wrong material. xD I WANT TO GET BETTER but ah I still make ameature mistakes ;.; forgive me sewing god or goddess that watches over mee. Thankfully I found&nbsp; a secluded store about a mile or so away soo I can buy extras. Sigh, but don't correct me! I know why it jammed and I won't make that mistake ever again.
