Past Works - Ciel Phantomhive

This is a more recent work, from this past June. The character is Ciel Phantomhive from the series "Kuroshitsuji".  This particular version is from season 2, when Ciel and the crew were invited to a Halloween party and Ciel dresses as a pirate. I never finished the coat, but given that I wore this in June, I'm glad I didn't have the coat - it was warm.

I am wearing a chest binder to appear more male. Its surprisingly comfortable, a lot more so than the ace bandage binding that I did earlier cosplay years. The shirt is just simple while muslin, with the cuffs being a white cotton lace. The pants are a charcoal suiting with a zipper on the side. The red sash is peach skin, which is one of those fabrics that I always hope I'll never have to work with again, but always do. XD  The wig is from Arda Wigs.  

Past Works - Outo World Sakura

I think I'll start off with some of my past creations that came out well before getting to all of my current things (because if I start with the current, we'll never see my past works).

This costume / character is Princess Sakura from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles. The particular costume (she has many throughout the series) is referred to as "Outo World". In that particular set of chapters / episodes she was working as a waitress in a cafe.

I really loved how this costume came together, especially the collar. It was the first time I'd ever worked with peachskin (the apron and collar are both made of it), and it was also a first on doing scallops. It was almost my first time drafting a pattern from scratch (the collar). This costume won "2nd Place Journeyman" at Setsucon.

As always, a big thanks to my friend "Patches" for the lovely photo.

Introductions

Welp, I hate introductions; I never know what to put down, but I suppose if I'm going to post here, I should write a little bit about myself. My name is Kassie. This is me.

I'm 26, and as you can probably tell, sewing is a big hobby of mine. I intend to use this blog to post finished photos of all the things that I make; mostly because I realized that I don't have anywhere to do that. I use LJ to talk about my day to day stuff, and tumblr is just for reposting things and losing hours of your life.  Neither one is really a good place to organize a sort of album for photos of the things I sew, be it clothing, costumes, or quilts. Hence the start of this blog.

If you decide to follow along, I hope you enjoy what you see. :)
