@aks This is a lovely post. I guess some storytime from me is fine, right? 
I totally get the struggle with the "hurry" though especially when you have some deadline in mind ypu wanted to hit. Like say some convention. I struggled there a bit as well.
Some context: I do like me some sewing recently since I decided to do some cosplay to a con. I dreamed of doing that for a bit I guess since it is a great way to show off as a (even female character)
Cosplay in question I finished a mock-up of last week for jacket and pants btw: https://akko.lightnovel-dungeon.de/notice/AsYestvDJPafsHC62y
I set my sights on after a con last year and began thinking about it in like november. I had a hat for that generally but wanted to make new one (the one shown in the post above). I decided on a lovely pink fabric (although kinda expensive) and then set off to buy and learn some stuff.
I generally knew the basics of sewing from a elective subject I choose in school. Made that hat once already so I was set there.
I learned to make that hat via a Youtube Tutorial which explained how to lay down the pattern but I had to do my own measurements and stuff. Laying down the whole pattern myself is above my skill level for sure though. The second hat turned out well even though there is some imperfections in it I love it dearly. And its also a 1 of 1 bespoke hat since every one you will make will be slightly different. And Certainly better looking than any store bought cos. My ears perk up so nice on that hat.
For the jacket and pants I opted to buy ready made patterns to learn from. I bought 4 in total. I learned from my hat its a good idea to make mock-up pieces from stuff to check fitment. I tried two (american) pattern and released with the pants they are nice but way to wide for my use on the legs.
The pattern from an european maker was way better in that regard. Learned a few things along the way as well. Had a very similar problem with the jacket
Its very important to take your time and read instructions carefully. Maybe try out some stuff before doing the real thing. Doing my Mock-up I realized that sewing in a zipper into pants is more difficult than I thought. So I had some mistake there. After trying again I got the hang of it I think.
I had some stress thinking I would not make it to June where the con is. Since I had "wasted" time with patterns that turned out being not right for me.
A friend told it is not that dim how I make it out. If rely needed I can make it for next year.
I am though pretty positive I can make it lol. Since everything is in order for the real deal.
In terms of drawing I don't see myself ever being that good. I would need to practice a lot.
I sometimes need some tokens for my TRPG-Sessions still. So I took a token a player drew, traced the head pattern and added stuff to it like horns, helmet or whatever. With solid colors and no shading but you could.
Also this reminds me of a VTuber who said she would be totally fine with *any* fanart. Be it even a stickman with blue hair lol. Since my drawing skills and I have seen the person behind the Vtuber in person I thought I would rather something physical and sewn instead.
Here is a small post about the mock piece: https://akko.lightnovel-dungeon.de/notice/ArabFkPtubI2JdXCLo
For this I basically traced a an image of the Vutuber and just thought How I may put it together. It took 3 tries to get it proper with a face stitched on. But she was very happy about the present. ^^
also attached my drawingskills xD Also I kinda got carried away writing this xD

Stuff is going well for on the cosplay-front. I have today finished the mock-up for the Jacket and bought some other bits and pieces this week. Looking swag I think though it is white and not pink but the fabric is here as well. So I can start doing the real deal next week. There was some stuff learned doing those mockups.
There is some stuff to improve but thats for the actual piece. It is very cool to see it together so much tbh.

(Yes it was fun!)

Doing some cute, little silly things today. Once I get 2 of these ones done they will be gifted to a lovely couple, being Studio Haoto, that does artistry stuff together. Since the wife of the couple started V-Tubing I wanted to make a little something. She said on stream that you can send her any fan-art you like (even a stick-figure would be fine she said lol) I thought of something a little extra.
Since they are also based in germany I can send them stuff. So I thought put my sewing skills to the test and good use and send something sewn together of fabric scraps.
I figured out the basic shape by now which is cool. Though some hand-sewing will be required (closing the hole for filling it with a blind stitch) and embroidery will need to be done by hand as well. But it might be pretty cool still.

new camera
Show content
I got myself some new toy to play with a bit. A proper camera. I read good things about this one so I bought a used for around 230€. It seems to take quite nice pictures (maybe? not that I would know...)
Though the automatic mode insisted on using 3200 ISO indoors maybe my lighting is shit lol.
But turning the wheel to "P" and setting the ISO to 800 produced some nice images of my cute outfit.
I actually bought to maybe do some video with as well in the future. Just you sure notice the G70s lack of proper stabilization the G81 has. But that was just too expensive for me. Since I wanted to use a tripod for most filming and photos anyway this should be fine.
If you can recommend me something that can teach the basics on such cameras feel free to do so
edit: yeah I obviously had to cut some images to remove my face so they are not straight from the camera but saved again as a png

Heute mal ein paar Kilometer aufs E-Bike geschrubbt. 5km waren irgendwie unbeabsichtigt... Hatte mich ein wenig verfahren. Gesamtkilometer sind jetzt 65 und Tageskilometer heute 35km
Und der Tour-Modus is schon nice wenn man in der Stadt unterwegs ist. Die Beschleunigung von der Ampel weg is nice.

Heute in fedibikes. Ich hab mir endlich mal ein E-Bike gefunden. Und ein paar Kilometer konnte ich damit auch fahren. 10 um genau zu sein.
Auf dem Bild ist ein CUBE 24 Kathmandu Hybrid ONE 750 zu sehen. Der Händler in Freiburg hatte es grade für einen (denke ich) guten Preis im Angebot. So wie es da steht hat es um die 2700€ gekostet inkl. Korb und Schloss.
Die erste Ausfahrt zum einkaufen war ganz nice. Auch wenn es fast schade ist das es bei 25kmh abriegelt. Aber das macht sicher sinn. Hier und da kann ich aber auch mal 30 ballern. Man merkt aber schon ganz gut wenn die Unterstützunh weg ist lol.
Andere Griffe will ich aber vielleicht doch haben. Die die dabei sind sind zwar ergo-griffe aber irgendwie sehr soft

Wisst ihr... es tut gut eine solche Schlagzeile zu lesen...
Einem kann echt schlecht wenn man z.B. heute Habeck zugehört hat in der Wirtschaftsdebatte der von Firmen erzählt hat in denen Menschen mit "nicht-deutschem" Namen darüber nachdenken Deutschland zu verlassen. Fast zu fliehen.
Mein Dank wie schon zu Anfang letzten Jahres als "Remigration" ein Hippes Modewort der Rechten wurde, den ganzen tollen Menschen die "Flagge" zeigen. Sich für all die Menschen einsetzen, die Angst haben und verzweifelt sind.
Es bleibt wirklich zu hoffen dass sich die Union einen Ruck gibt und "Mr. Burns" vielleicht doch vor die Tür setzt (unwahrscheinlich).
Bis zur Wahl ist noch Zeit. Redet mit Menschen mit euren Liebsten. Schickt sie zur Wahl. Jede Stimme für Demokratie ist eine gute. Danke an alle draußen in der Kälte.
Ich werde mich in den nächsten Wochen auch an den Demos in Freiburg beteiligen und da sein wo ich kann. (Und eine Kerze besorgen gehen)
Bleibt stabil
