DIY Ranka Lee Costume

hello~ I need some sugar and inspiration here...

~for I am about to start on a new cos-project!!!

yay! I am sooo slacking off
~so for the mean time...here's a review on my ranka lee sewing project:

after buying the needed fabrics...
I made the patterns-traced it on the fabric and cut it
(DICLAIMER; I don't have any formal education in sewing)

ribbons for the hand cuffs

 the base of the hand cuffs

 big bow for my hair

 here's the finished product!!!
use velcro/magic tape at the ends to secure each hand cuff
glue a hair clip at the back of the big bow so that it'll be easy to be place on to your wig

for the skirt...

get your emasurement and make a skirt pattern, trace it on to the fabric and then cut it

cut the needed fabrics for your other ribbpns and bows
ribbons and bows everywhere
it's actually really simple  so it's really easy to figure out

break time!!!

sharnel and her ice drop

 while sewing my ruffles... I haff to get my ice drop fix too XD

 here are your ruffles to be sewn at the end of the skirt to make it more fluffy and frilly

now, sew them altogether...

I used the cream fabric for the base skirt toppped with the orange one

then I added ruffles at the end of the skirt

for the top... I forgot to take some photos so yeah

you just have to figure it out yourself

Idk... I am really a noob when it comes to sewing...

I hope to take a crash course on sewing though~ XD
