Alaina ClementineHaven’t had much time for #sewing lately, so I have been planning my next Nausicaä #cosplay instead. I need to make some (potentially) hard decisions about the beads I may or not buy; I need very few beads in each size but I can seemingly only get them in larger quantities. Less waste for the same amount of money? I need to think.
I’m also nervous about the hat portion of the costume, as I’m imagining a pad stitching situation over a dense cotton/wool batting is going to be necessary. I’ve never done pad stitching before and if I go with it, there will be a LOT of it.
There will also likely be pleatwork #embroidery aka #smocking . I’m sure it will be beautiful, it will just have a lot of my blood and tears stitched into it, too.
