I love when I see posts like "Share how many crochet WIPs you currently have! I have 5, it's so many!"

Like, girl, I have unfinished projects from over a decade ago that I refuse to frog on the off chance I decide to finish them. I've found years-old projects I forgot I even started and will impulsively just finish it on the spot. I've started three different projects in the last 2 months, including one I started yesterday, that I already know I may or may not finish within the year depending on motivation.

The number of WIPs I have is infinite.

Tim Drake as Red Hood

So I haven’t gotten good pictures yet, but! Here’s the photos I got my Tim Drake Red Hood cosplay!

Inspired by the art by @notholaenas and I’m blaming @disillusioneddanny for sending me the art that caused this spiral.

(I tried to edit this once already and it glitched and removed my edit?)

THE PROCESS

So I started looking at the pictures and breaking down what I needed

• Vest

•shirt

•belt

•holster

•mask

•gloves

1) The Vest

Starting with the Vest I went to Joann’s and found a fabric and some Dye. The fabric I found was too pink? But a little red and brown dye and a pot of boiling water and wa-lah the deep red we needed.

I patterned the vest based off a formal vest I had and modified the pattern to my body specifics and added the hood.

Including the black lining. The hood doesn’t look like it’s line but it is actually completely lined.

2) The Shirt

I got real lucky and the athleisure fabrics were on sale. I only used maybe 1 yard of black athleisure wear.

I drew and cut out a pattern of my Red Hood symbol. Based off the art I saw his symbol was different but I just did not have a clear enough picture of it to figure it out?

I actually made this twice because the first time accidentally ended up as a crop top? So uh new swim top I guess?

I had to get specialty vinyl for the symbol because it had to be able to adhere to the stretchy fabric.

3) The Rest

So there rest of it I don’t have photos for but know I ended up having to sand, prime and repaint my fake pew pew for him as well as make the holster and the belt I use in my cosplay. I ended up dying the white 2in belting I got for him and used leftover belting for the holster.

In the art there’s different hardware but considering how long it took for me to pattern that holster I am going to opt to not do that again if I can avoid it lmao.

I now have a mask for him but my friend who is also another red hood cosplayer has graciously given me their old mask!

Realized I never posted the very first figure I made! I made it spur of the moment probably about half a year before I did any of the others, and with an air-dry clay specifically bought for taxidermy purposes. It was directly inspired by fanart (this one mostly, and to my delight in the time since they've released another). It's incredibly adorable, and originally I was like I NEED to sew a plushy version, and knowing I didn't have material to do that, realized that that what I DID have was the air dry clay, and so it went. I still want to eventually make a plushy of him tho... that would be adorable and snuggly.

Some WIP photos below the cut!

Middle photo is right before painting; got to paint him while hanging out with a friend, which was delightful!

Drafted up a pattern for an octokitten that I'm going to embroider. It is different from the past two patterns I have made for octokittens because I simply cannot be stopped.

Is doing two new things at once a bad idea? Sure, if you believe in logic, but the embroidery is actually going pretty well for something I have only seen videos on Pinterest for

My fingers hurt so bad but we are making progress!!

[moe-broey]

I've hired this thing to stand there. Menacingly.

Wow, he's so good at tha--

Nevermind.

He also sits very politely though (needs assistance to do so, but hey! He's polite.)

i designed a fun new hatsune miku design to cosplay, including a few alternate color schemes!! :D

turns out there are very few miku outfits where she has space buns, which i think is a real shame. they're super cute! i took this issue into my own hands and made a space themed design for her with buns and a big ol bow. it also has lights in it!! very spacey :3

Cow sewing time!

Pink with polka dots was not the most commonly picked option but my grandma really liked the idea of a pink polka dotted cow so that’s what I’m going with lol

The number of UFOs* I have could rival a conspiracy theory forum

*UFOs in this case refers to UnFinished Objects, a term used in the textiles community to refer to the projects that have been started, but then end up floating around your space not unlike a flying saucer. My Grandma taught me the term so I don't know how modern it is.

Hows it started vs how it's going
