Octopi!!

I'm gonna try making bento lunches for the gatherings I go to. I havnt decided if I'll be going to the august 21 or 22 or BOTH! But bringing a bento might help my hunger and money problems. I tried making rabbit apples first but my blade isnt sharp enough so I almost cut myself. When I find a sharper knight I'll try again....
I did however make hotdog octopus. I think they use susages but this works too. I made the middle extra piece into a squid. this is a win! I'm putting this in the bento. Too cute. I'll be trying other things as well. I'm a picky eater so dont expect anything too fancy.

My witty tail

Final! Finally I have started sowing. I feel like I got pretty far too, only to get thrown back some.
So I made the tail which turned out awesome. I'm really happy with how straight it is and I dont think it'll be too heavy for the costume. We'll have to see once I add the ball at the end and actually finish it. What set me back was the tail is much more far down on the costume then I realized. it's basically hanging beweteen my legs rather on my butt. The pattern I'm going from in a penguin, should have seen that coming. So now I'm going back and undoing all the stitch which takes a lof time because this thing is freaking long! I might sow tomorrow, or Tuesday.

In other news I'm starting another quickie cosplay for fun. Yui from the Listen ending of K-on. I dont have to wear a wig for it or do much sowing besides the pattern on a shirt. I'm also painting her earrings because I doubt I'll find green ones. This should be fun because I can walk around the city and not really care about people looking at me. The only think I wont have in her red boots. I looked all over, 5 different stores and nothing. I dont feel like paying a lot on this costume so I'll just use my black or brown ones.

Big weekend

So with Saturday off for once and only going in for 4 hours on Sunday I plan go do a lot of sowing this weekend. That means today I have a lot of cutting today.
The only problems I see myself running into is that they patterns instructions want me the attach the tail as pretty much step 2 and I still havnt completely determined yet how I want to do that... I need to make sure it's not too heavy but still want it to stand up. I also still havnt decided what to use for the ball on the end of it.
Oh well I'm sure I can figure something out hopefully.
I still need to buy stuffing but for today I'll get the tail cut out. I can probably also get the sleeves started. Like I said I can probably go back to the tail later.

P.S. I just but Personal 3 Portable. I kept hearing good things about the series for a long time so I hope I will be impressed.
