We spent the past 2 months getting together multiple nights a week and on most weekends grinding together costumes! For Advait and his Naruto costume, this was his first time creating a sewing pattern, stitching together a jacket, styling a wig, and altering shoes. He did a fantastic job and didn't need a lot of help. He was quick to pick up on techiniques. He is now REALLY excited to start another costume!
This was my first time working with denim and leather as well as making a jacket! It was so much fun! This was also Steve's very first cos-play, he picked a pretty complicated one with Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII, BUT it was all finished in time and looked amazing! We had to alter a shirt he bought, added sleeves and a zipper to it. We created a side apron with multiple belts. Altered his pants to have clasps on them. Added zippers to boots, styled a wig, sewed gloves as well as between the three of us and some friends who helped, he managed to make a 6 foot tall foam and wood sword! Another friend helped out to make an incredible sculpt for his shoulder armor. We had our first convention together and the experience was absolutely intoxicating! We didn't make it 2 feet without being stopped by multiple people for photos. We found many other Naruto characters so Advait had some great team photos, as well as Steve and I found 2 other FFVII characters. The one person we found dressed as Sephiroth (villian from FFVII ) allowed us to re-enact some pretty integral parts of the game. At the end of the day we had a group of 20+ people encircling us for photos. Once the convention was over, we walked through the city to a local Ramen shop all the while getting people honking and waving at us, a few even getting into character. All in all it was a fantastic experience and we can't wait for the next convention!! - Kim
