"Un"Official MEG-A-CON '10 Thread

[Cetriya]

checking over my do to list, I think i'll actually have time to do a few more works before the con.

got this nice white fabric for the kimono and a nice blue but I need to get me some orange and purple pattern.

why is fabric so expensive?
anyone know of a kimono pattern online? or maybe I'll just fake it

Cetriya// Hey Did You Change Your Username??? Also No I Don't Know Why Fabric Is Expensive......

In real-life? Fabric is expensive because of the cotton and plastic fibers, Polyester melts fairly fast (it also take a lot of heat to melt all the plastic into thread), for cotton you need cotton pickers and then you have to clean the cotton, silk you have to care for silk worms and then the times it take to extract the silk strands is painfully boring/ long, and a lot of fabric combines two or more thread types. There's also the dye and shiping.

(Sorry for butting in UmbreonEX, I though you logged off and then I saw you on here.)

@UmbreonEX originally I was Tkawaii but didnt know that untill this past week when I got an email saying I havent been on of a while lol. either way, dont know the password and I go by cetriya for most all my online names, deviantart, livejournal, mangabullet, twitter..

@Digital_DAF I didnt expect anyone to actually answer, just that I miss walmarts clearance fabric and Hancocks for what I need, jo anns is too expensive.


its why I tend to buy extra large clothes on the cheap and cut them up for other things, but you cant make a kimono out of pre cut fabric

I hope everyone has a great New Years Eve and New Years Day. Ta-ta everyone, snow here I come! <3
