Mimikyu
Pokémon gijinka

Mimikyu started out as a joke among friends “Just make an easy to wear cosplay!” Friends tell me that I spent way too much time on doing my makeup. And that I look so uncomfortable at cons when I wear my bigger cosplays. Well maybe they were right….. So I thought a Pokémon cosplay would be cute and comfortable to wear at a con.

I always had a weak for Mimikyu. Therefore picking a Pokémon wasn’t that hard. (Don’t worry there are still plenty of Pokémon cosplay’s on my list.) Mimikyu is a great cosplay that makes talking with friends and meeting new people easier, because it is so comfy. One of things that really helps is the fact that I can actually sit while wearing the cosplay. Another thing that makes Minikyu really comfortable are the eyes. The eyes in the Hoodie are see-through so I can see where I’m going on the convention floor. And If I am tired of wearing the hoodie I can always take it off.

Sewing patterns are in the making.

Before I can do the next test fitting I need to replace the dull feed dogs of my sewing machine, I noticed some slipping that I dislike. Sadly I have to wait till the new parts come in before I can start sewing in the boning channels.

It might look fuzzy now but wait till it's finishe It might look fuzzy now but wait till it's finished.

A little closeup detail while I'm working on replacing the back panels of the corset. These lines actually give the corset more structure asside from being pretty detailed lines. These details are what I enjoy most in sewing and making corsets.

Would you sew a seam 3 times with a 1-2mm marge just to get this stunning look? Or would you skip this step and sew the next construction step instead?
First test fitting of the velvet corset, this will First test fitting of the velvet corset, this will be the base corset for my thistle inspired dress.

The test fitting is without any support from boning, I like to do test fittings before I add the first boning tape.
Luckily I did because the back closed all the way and I had to replace the back panels, in my excitement I forgot to include the back opening in my pattern drafting step. A silly mistake which I now spotted in time.

it's always fun to see how much of an impact good breast support can make.

In my last video I got a lot of questions about th In my last video I got a lot of questions about the large pressing pillow I'm using as a roll pinning guide. 
I have had this big boy for about 16 years and it's from the Dutch brand "Wagen".

Although this is not a sponsored post I did some research on where it's currently offered, the webshop @beauty_vof  Still offers the big boy pressing pillow as well as the smaller version. This is also the store where I got the polyester velvet mat.
I hope this helps your sewing and ironing experience.

Since I'm making this corset out of velvet I decid Since I'm making this corset out of velvet I decided to use a tailor technique called "roll pinning", by basting the coutil and velvet layers together over the curve of a large pressing pillow.

This helps to reduce wrinkle lines when the outer fabric layer gets more strain. as simple as this may sound, this is the level of precision in high quality corsetry. At the same time it keeps both layers in place when sewing the slippery velvet.
A slow process but definitely worth the effort.

A little corset WIP, while smokey keeps me company A little corset WIP, while smokey keeps me company. 

Does anyone knows a good brand of metal thimbles that offer multiple sizes?
Since I'm working with velvet I'm roll pinning and basting all layers together before I sew the corset. 
It takes some extra time but itself quite calming to do, but I do feel my fingers hurt since all thimbles I've got are to small or to big.
