🇬🇧 I made this cosplay in 7 days! 🙉
And it felt so good to deep dive into cosplay again 🥹. I’m usually more of a slow crafter – meaning crafting a single cosplay takes me months / years, depending on its complexity – so to challenge myself to complete something within a very short time frame, and seeing concrete progress every day was a breath of fresh air. And honestly, I needed this win. It’s easy to lose motivation and doubt your own abilities when all your projects stretch in the long run
Yes, it’s not screen accurate like usual, some details + paint are missing, and I have like two days of hand-sewing left to make the inside perfect, but I am so proud of the outcome! For this build, I learned how to pattern and sew an authentic-looking yukata by translating a Japanese website, tried my hand for the first time at gradient dyeing, and tested new tools / materials for stenciling 🥰
For those who don’t know, Yoimiya is a very dear character to me. I’ve been working on her OG version for 4 years now, and it’s going to be my masterpiece. So to finally be able to cosplay her, despite being an alternative version, was an indescribable feeling. Not to mention that I got to take amazing pictures last Sunday in a gorgeous Japanese garden during KamiPlay. Role-playing her for photoshoots filled my heart with so much joy and fulfillment. I can’t wait to wear this cos again 🤧🩷
Materials used:
linen (yukata), viscose (belt)
rayher batik hand-dye
pebeo setacolor fabric paint opaque
stencils: mylar sheets 7 mil.
There won’t be any tuto for this build as all the pics I took are in this post, but you can find detailed picture tutos on the wig and trinkets on my feed + some video tutos on the reel section (wig, stencils, etc.) 🤗
🇫🇷 C’est dans les comms !
