2023 Year in Review, 2024 Plans

The year is drawing to a close and I will be traveling for the holidays. I plan on doing a bit of blogging on my break, but likely will mostly be knitting and trying to really solidify my loom knitting patterns and what I want to do with them.  

Things I did from my 2023 list: 

  • Unicorn Ren Faire became Unicorn Dance


  • Kitsune became Fox Shrine Maiden 


  • Demon Slayer in Yarn - Finished the sweater started a 2nd sweater. Made 1 leg warmer and intend to finish the 2nd in the next couple of weeks. (update: Finished both leg warmers!) My socks got eaten by moths. So that was abandoned.


Things I did not do were: 
  • Goro's Tails
  • Polish Vest 
  • Mermaid Tail

Projects I did in 2023: 

  • St. Patrick's Dance Dress
  • Flame Dance Competition Dress


  • Goro the Puppet


Projects I started and need to finish: 
  • Knitted Wrap Belt
  • Zelda Sweater
  • Demon Slayer Sweater take 2
  • The 6 Kimono and Obi projects

Plans for 2024

Now this year's plans will mostly center around the six kimono projects I planned: 

  • Ruka's Yukata and Heko Obi
  • Ruka's Pink Kimono and purple Obi
  • Shinjuro's Kimono and Hakama
  • Kyojuro Promotional Hakama-Haori kimono
  • Gothic Rose Kimono and Black Obi
  • Polish Kimono and Haori and Striped Obi
For Halloween I'm going to keep it simple and make a Morticia Addams style dress that I can also hopefully dance in. I already have a sewing pattern for it. I might make a crow puppet or something. 

I have a lot of knitting projects on my 2 do list and I made a proper list of what I need to finish and how much of it I have left to go and estimates with time. The pattern book idea is a bit delayed but making progress as I finish things. Copyright has also been a concern for me so I'm trying turn things from specific to more generic. (More Inspired by as you will.) 

Lastly, slow progress on the Visual Novel. Making my way through Kichiro's route slow and steady. I may need to really carve out scheduled time to work on it and make more meaningful progress.

Costume Design: Guiding Principles

Part of designing costumes is finding a way to pick from many solutions. Limiting these choices can be the art of design.  I have some of my own "Guiding Principles" or Design Principles when it comes to costume design. Some of these constraints are based on non-mutable factors. (Or currently difficult to change.) The fun ones are a bit on the arbitrary side. These are self-imposed limitations for the costume that as a designer I decide to apply to any given costume.  The point of these principles is to help you make a final decision if you are paralyzed by many choices. I may get hung up on some pretty silly things, so at the very least, this helps me move forward and kind of imply that I had a plan all along.  Immutable Design Principles We might run into some touchy subjects here but whatever, here we go! Immutable principles are either constraints your life situation has you in at any given time or core beliefs about what you wear. This can mean things like religious beli

Costume Fabric Cheat Sheet: How to Pick Fabric for your Costume

 In the previous post , I laid out how to describe different aspects of fabric when trying to find a good fabric for your costume. This post will go over ways to apply those terms and actually pick out a fabric for your costume. I will attempt to teach by examples.  4 Avenues of Research Cheat! I mean...look at other cosplays. You can often find images of photoshoots which make for better references than illustrations. If you are lucky, the costume maker may have posted a journal about how they made their costume or at least list the materials they used.  Check for Suggestions in Sewing Patterns Sewing patterns will list suggested fabrics to use for the costume. Pop those terms into a search engine and see the results.  Historical, Cultural, or Real Life Examples With a search engine or books, you can find out about how clothes were made back in the day or what materials are used around the world. You can also check the tags on your clothes to see what it's made of.  Narrow down to

Hakama Series - Hibakama (Scarlet Hakama)

The bright red hakama with a white kimono is a common sight in both anime and video game characters. Shrine maidens or Miko also wear this combination of colors when they work at Shinto shrines. Honestly, there is a LOT of history and cultural significance wrapped up in this one.  Anime/Games: Inuyasha, Genshin Impact, Sailor Moon,  So let's talk Design. Design Considerations Cultural Significance This is one I'd pay attention to if I was creating a character of my own. I assume that already created characters have had this research done and have taken their artistic license.  Some of the research taught me a few things: The color is technically scarlet or vermillion, not "red". 🤷 Miko are not part of the Shinto clergy. Sometimes they are just seasonal workers.  Generally, Miko are young women in their teens or early 20s. After a certain age, they wear different colors.  This was based on Heian nobility colors and fashions.  Color Like I said earlier, the color is ve
