SPAM PARTY
If any of you remember, one of my holiday wishes is a spam party. ♥ So...
SPAM AWAY!!
Anything goes~! Something you'd like to tell me or think I should know? Recs for series you're following? Flailing over stuff together? Cheers for the holidays? Or just random spam??? :3
Also, holiday cards have been sent out, so any of you who left me your address should be receiving them soon, if you haven't yet already. And thank you
tokki_chan for the cute Hikaru keychain!! I received your card Saturday-ish but hadn't had a chance to say my thanks.

XD; The cape is actually really easy. The only scary part is hemming since there's no going back if it's too short, and because we put the white double fold bias tape around it, it's a hassle to fix if it's too long. ^^; It's not that big of a deal though. The collar might be tricky... we modified it slightly. I'll try to work you through it...
YAY You'd be so cute as either Tadase or Yaya!! I should double check if my friend is serious about Utau, she just sort of mentioned it when Shugo Chara cosplay came up ^^; I don't know if she's planning on it or not... Mmm... I think all three of those characters have blue eyes but I don't remember. ^__^;; ... Kukai's the only one I can think of with green eyes. ^^;; ...
Waaah anyway let me know! We'll probably have to help you with the cape, just so it comes out the same as ours... let me know whether you want to do the guy or the girl and I'll let

The collar does look tricky. The way Yaya ties her cape is pretty cute though. I'm only on episode 6th of the anime so far. Right now, I've been taking a lot of screencaps of Tadase. XD; I think I'm leaning more towards him. Yaya looks cute with her ribbons, but I like Tadase more as a character. I'd like to make his Shugo Chara too. So cute with that little crown. Tadase has red eyes! If I cosplay him, I'll definitely get red contacts, since I need them for a previous cosplay. I was debating not getting the contacts just for an old cosplay, but if I can use it for more than one cosplay, it'll be more worth it!
I'll definitely need help with the cape. :O And I don't really know how to make shorts either. =x I tried making shorts for my Rikkai cosplay, but that didn't turn out well, so in the end I just modified a pair of white shorts I had. But the Shugo Chara one will have to be made from scratch since it has to match the cape. What kind of cloth did you buy? I'm thinking of buying cloth soon, maybe this weekend. I only have a bit of time left before my semester starts. And when it does, I won't have time for much sewing. ): I should practice making shorts with my leftover cloth first. X3;;

Ok ok, I'll work it out with Colleen :D she's making Kairi too so basically we're making three sets of boy version (I'm thinking of making Nadehiko too) ~ C.c. and I will buy and dye the fabric and probably cut out the pieces for you and send them to you. I'll find out from C.c. what paint you need to buy for the stripes... we'll work you through it as best we can. ^__^;; I have to figure out the boy version too XD;; ...

At times like these, I wish I lived closer!

We're not certain but we're pretty sure that the boys where a white dress shirt (check the ends of the sleeves, you can see the way the white cuffs go), with a black suit jacket, and a blue tie. (Kukai doesn't wear his tie ^^;). We're going to try to find the ties and buy identical ones - I'll buy one for you too once we find them. :D
Are you going to make the little crown? =^.^=

Okay~ :D I'm going to start looking for a wig. Do you think it should be more like normal blond hair, or should it be more yellow? =x

Butterick B5221 (c pattern, need to shorten the length) -- shorts
Butterick B4419 (c pattern, with modified collar) -- cape
:3 Sometimes Joann's has $1 sales on patterns, or we can try to get the patterns for you if you're having trouble. I'm going to see if I can meet up with c.c. before she mails everything and cut out the modified collar, so you have the same shape that we do. Also, you have to extend the front corner edges of the cape, so that you can iron them back (to create the tiny little lapel flap thing).
For the fabric paint: The paint can be bought at a Blick's art store. The paint is pebeo Setacolor fabric paint http://www.dickblick.com/products/pebeo-setacolor/ ^^; C.c. forgot the color name but she has to go buy more - she can buy the paint for you too if that's easier.

I'll try to get the pattern and the fabric paint myself...have to see if there are any Blick's art store around first. Let me know what the color is when you know it~
