Okay, so back in 2009 I decided to KNIT a cosplay. It was awesome and a lot of people liked it. Unfortunately, I overheated and it was not fun. Well, last year I decided to suck it up and refresh my memory and use a sewing machine. Lol, sadly, me and sewing machines don't get along. I seriously broke 2 hand-me-down sewing machines. *Head desk* I don't want to hire a seamstress so I decided to HAND sew my cosplays. Now, this is where I want everyone's opinions if ya don't mind. Should I plan a cosplay and start making it...hmm, say 6 months in advance?
I guess handmade pants with handmade suspenders attached to them REALLY doesn't take that long, but I'd rather be safe than sorry, right? I've just been noticing a crappy cycle that I've been going through. I buy my fabric, use my custom patterns, and start sewing. In the end, I've NEVER finished them on time. Well, I finished my crappy Tentacool Gijinka cosplay the day of the con, but my Steampunk cosplay never got finished. I finished the pants, but not the vest. I'm tired of working hard on a cosplay only to wear something else because it's not complete.

I cosplay with a fairly large group of people (we range from about five to eight girls) and I always try to start planning our group cosplays for the next convention the very day we leave the current one (one in January, one September). I think it's best to start a cosplay as soon as possible, as one often has school, work, sports, or online gaming drama, meaning that the person in question cannot work on the cosplay. Now, group cosplays are often much harder to create than when one goes solo, because everyone in the group wants to look like an individual while still being tied together as a group. Last year we did an Eeveelution Lolita cosplay, and some of us ended up staying up till three in the morning sewing in the hotel room. Because we had to not only design the cosplays, but also had to create them, it became increasingly difficult. Since, we have never done a Lolita group cosplay. But enough of my horror stories. Who are you planing on cosplaying?

That's why I avoid joining group cosplays. I go solo or do couple cosplays. For Matsuricon, I'm going as Sgt. Keroro. It'll be a human version of him. I'm doing a couple cosplay at Sugoicon. I'll be the 10th Doctor and my friend's going as Rose.

I think it's a lot more fun to do cosplay in groups, or even in just teams. For example this past con I went once as Ellis with a zoey from Left 4 dead, then as Fionna with a Cake from Adventure time, and my two friends went as Link and True form Midna together. o wo I'm loving all the Doctor Who cosplays! I love Ten and Rose and Ten/Donna (squee)
