I almost finished sewing. That’s what I’ve been doing all day. I decided to try not cutting off large unnecessary pieces of fabric but folding and hemming them instead. I’m really happy with the result, and if I ever need to, I can make the clothes bigger again. Today, I managed to hand-sew pants and a few accessories. Honestly, I know how to sew, but I’m super slow at it. Pants are the hardest item to alter, so I kept trying them on and rechecking everything. But the result turned out incredibly cool! I’ve been thinking about buying a sewing machine for a long time, but then I remember that getting a camera is more important to me… And since I’ve been putting off buying a camera for two years now, I still haven’t bought the sewing machine either. Let’s be honest, a phone camera can’t compare to a good camera. I dream of owning a Nikon Z7 or Z7 II. I can’t imagine doing a cosplay photoshoot until everything is as perfect as possible. That’s why I always modify even pre-made cosplays. While sewing, I had Gigguk’s videos playing in the background, so it was fun. I don’t even know what I love more—preparing for cosplay or creating cosplay photos. Tomorrow, I’ll continue working. I need to alter some belts and a few other things, as well as prep the wig.

I’ve finished working on the wig!

But I didn’t manage to do anything else today and even ate only once. I feel like I work way too slowly. x)

So, here are some photos of my Mita cosplay that I haven’t posted yet. And sorry for the dust.

I don’t know how content creation works for other creators, but in my case, even though I have way less content—which is undoubtedly a downside of my profile—I spend an insane amount of time creating cosplays and looks. First, there’s the endless search online for items that, in theory, I could just wear and take photos with. Then, I search for wigs and accessories. After that, it’s multiple fittings, sewing, altering, and more fittings and altering. Then I realize something is missing, and I have to go to the store to buy more materials.

It might seem like I’m buying ready-made wigs and costumes, but not a single one has been ready for cosplay straight out of the box. So, creating just one look takes a ton of time, and between more complex looks, I photograph something simple, like cute outfits. Even micro bikinis need to be altered. :D

And wigs? That’s a whole saga. I used to just do a bit of trimming, but now I’m trying to learn how to style wigs. Since I haven’t become a professional at this yet, I end up spending an enormous amount of time on it. But I love the time I spend refining cosplays and looks.

I’m sure many of the details I work on won’t even be noticed, or people might assume that’s how everything was from the start. But it’s important to me that I know about it. I put in this effort not just for you, but also for myself.

Still, in the end, I’m providing a product, and people care about the final picture and the quantity of content, not how much effort went into it.

The next cosplay is almost ready. I’m waiting for nail materials and lenses. Everything else is done. Time to start preparing for the next cosplay.
