I did do some prototyping for some ammunition-bags for the llenn Cosplay yesterday.

My first idea did not really pan out as I wanted (I guess PU-Leather does slip too much on the feed dogs making very uneven seams.

So normal seems it is.

I have sewn the body of the pouch it was not really stable. Then I did add some top-stitching for some good looks.

I opened one seam of the pouch again. Did the top-stitch on 3 corners and it dawned on me. How can I do the 4 and last edge? I obviously need to assemble the 3D-shape of the bag again and top-stitching is added after that.

No chance getting into a normal sewing machine. Asking on reddit. No chance of getting that on a normal machine. I would need an upholstery-machine for that I was told.

Btw those are super cool you can rotate the needle so it can sew sideways lol.

So only hand-sewing left for me here. But the bags look nice already. I hate hand-sewing so much

Another shot with the buttons.

The push buttons on my pink cosplay jacket are now fixed again (after some had fallen out )

I needed to cover-up the old holes though (like seen on the pic)

I do hope the new push buttons do not fall out but having the proper tool to put them in (imagine them like sorta calipers) really helps. So this should hold up

Kinda tired though

@Carlos @crossgolf_rebel Eins meiner liebstem Diagramme darf mal wieder ran

@natasha Oh thank you. I love the boots as well so much. They are though a little bit out there for most scenarios. So finding opportunities to wear them more often will be interesting.

That said it did not stop me from ordering a shorter variant with the same heel :D

look its @aetios together with @HatsuneMiku

@Nukumori demnächst noch bei Tracks East.

Gönn dir ein Päuschen und schau was schönes an

something for @puniko

I dunno where the hell this is from but a friend send this my way

@BenteliciousArt Ew Kleber

Ich hab aber auch schon was nettes gezaubert aus Stoff. Solltest du mal zuviel Zeit haben kannst du dir das ganze hier durchlesen:

(kleine Anmerkung: Da sind Bilder dabei. Es kann aber ne weile dauern bis die geladen sind. Das läuft von Zu Hause und das Internet ist da net sooo schnell.)

Ich pack dir aber mal ein Bild dazu. Auf meinem Profilbild siehst auch den Hut davon

made it to emmendingen. Flags are there

@Carlos Nix klingt auch geil. Ich hab heute sogar was vor. Es gibt nen CSD in meinem Landkreis da muss ich natürlich hin. Und natürlich absolut fancy!

(auch wenn mein Kopf mir grad einreden will ich soll mir sorgen machen negative aufmerksamkeit zu bekommen, das Outfit ist schon bold xD aber auch so gut!)

@puniko Bei mir gehts net mal um das Event selber. Social Anxiety hab ich bei sowas net wo ich weiß dass es comfy sein wird.

Meine Birne ist einfach dumm und macht sich sorgen dass ich zuviel (negative?) Aufmerksamkeit auf mich zieh. Ich zieh mir ein Outfit an das schon bissle mehr "bold" ist. Ich liebe es!

An sich ist Emmendingen sicher safe was das angeht. Etwas ländlicher aber ich wüsste nix von so Nazis etc. Dennoch bleibt dieses dumme Gefühl

Am I having too much fun? maybe. But its a kinda nice pic lol.

I kinda could not wait until friday to test out my new demonia boots in the outside world...

So I took a "little" walk outside today. Wasn't perfect weather but it was just spray raining a bit today. The walk was not that little even I was goind around the city for about I think 30-45 min.

Though I had quite a lot of anxiety before going out as well. So I did a anxiety special today. Scarf over the mouth, headphones on and hat.

tbh I wanted to test out the boots and the a bit warmer outfit. I never went anywhere dressed fem during winter, so I had to get a feel on what is good for this weather.

The Outfit consists of the following:

- cycling shorts (I had problems with getting abrasions in the crotch region easily when wearing tights and moving around a lot)
- fleece-layered tights for some warmth
- red tartan mini-skirt.
- long sleeved black t-Shirt
- knitted beige sweater
- "cat-ear" knitted hat
- red scarf
- and of course the Demonia Camel 300 Boots though I did put in some better insoles to make them fit slightly better
(- I specifically did not add my blister-resist-socks and went only on stockings into the boots just to see where the pain-point might arise)

Now to the walk itself:

Stairs will be the bane of my existence in these. Going up the stairs at the end of the walk was absolutely fine. But everyone who wore some heels for some time before knows. Going down stairs in heels is a challenge. I could stumbling down a set of stairs in these puppies lol. They are high and have lots of platform so going down stairs is kinda challenging.

I won't never look graceful going down stairs lol. But just take it slow and steady. But I made it unharmed. Going up stairs certainly was easier xD

Walking around in the boots was very fine tbh. The boots might get heavy with extended wear maybe.

I love how high they are though. I can't go fast in them, taking way smaller steps but it was so much fun. I could likely go through any puddles (as long as they are less than 4cm deep I guess) in these.

Walking itself was good. I strolled through different sidewalks, going up and down, crossing streets going through wonky non-flat streets. I generally felt totally fine walking the streets and sidewalks. I was having fun taking my time.

I was though kinda anxious the whole time. (I know its unfounded but still...)

Now obviously these boots are still heels after all, so there is caveats, but I think I should manage in them quite good generally. They felt quite comfy for what they are. The wide, square toebox really helps make them comfier for sure.

Not wearing socks in them made me slide around a bit the boots (easily fixed with the blister-resist socks or socks in general).

Now there is some interesting stuff for me to take away:

- The right boot sits really well with the insole. Without socks I will certainly develop blisters over time on the ball of my foot. But I don't slide around too much in this.

- The left one is a bit more ... interesting. I slide way more in that one. Its also my longer foot of the two. I tend to hit the front of the toebox while setting my foot on the ground but only on the left.

MAybe they are too small? I will have too see. Nothing that would be unmanageable tbh (I hope). I may try lacing them again to prevent slippage maybe.

I wil just tag you as you might be interested @Nukumori @alexseifert @ritahayuni @guyinaskirt
