Here you'll find the fannish laments of an almost-high-school graduate. Mostly Tranformers, Homestuck, Persona 3/4, Sengoku Basara and the occasional other fandom that sneaks in.
Also cosplay. Some of that.

oh hai I’m going to AR! The site says that they have $100 discounts on hotel rooms at the Mariott so if you get a couple roomies it should be pretty cheap!DISCOUNTS…
okay :) we usually get a room for us two plus my sister, so if you need a room, we can easily fit you in, but it’s fine either way!

so uh anyone up for being roomies LOL
(on a side note this would be my first big out-of-town con and that FREAKS ME RIGHT OUT but i guess it could be fun if it somehow worked out)
well I checked with my friend whose booking rooms tonight (she was the girl with the antlers on saturday) and she’s cool with you rooming with us if you want! :)

iwell, I don’t know how much this will help, haha. Making patterns can seem really daunting, but I find that thinking about things as individual pieces helps. I wish you good luck <3
Hmm well in that case, my suggestion would be to start with a pattern that you can modify or take apart old clothes to see how they’re made. I usually start by drawing out little sketches of how the pieces should be- the more you sew, the more you’ll know how a sleeve should work, how to do a neckline, etc. Once I have a rough estimate of how the pieces should be, I put them full size on some cheap crappy fabric to see if they lay properly. Lots of it is experimental too: like for Rose’s sleeves, I used a pattern for bell sleeves and cut out a piece in the front.
I hope this helped! I’m not too great at explaining things, but if you want I could probably upload my little sketches of pattern pieces.
Is there anything specific you’re wondering about? ‘Cause I’d be happy to help, but I’m not exactly sure how I would make a tutorial for it, since the bulk of it was just pattern drafting and beading.
