A WIP 2025 #10: Mar 13 - Mar 19

The problem with having other hobbies besides crafting is that once I remember I enjoy them… they take away from my crafting time! Such is life I suppose. My partner Z and I got back into playing Pokémon Scarlet and Violet recently. I'm very close to buying the DLC, but perhaps I should hold off and use it as my reward to finishing my Fearne cosplay? It would be pretty good motivation, that's for sure!

Here's the crafting I was able to fit in this week:

• Fearne's hooves

• Fearne’s dress bodice

Hooves: I got the elastic attached to the worbla hooves, so now they can slip on and off the boots at will. I had some indecision about how I wanted to attach the elastic, but I ended up cutting small openings in the back of the worbla and hand sewing the elastic so it loops around the back of the boot. Next will be patterning the boot covers and legs.

Bodice: I decided that I wanted a different base to drape this bodice on to, so I went on an unfortunately unsuccessful shopping trip to find a base bra to build on top of. After that I decided to just make my own, so I grabbed a bra from my closet that I liked the shape up and made a mock-up of a bra. I have yet to try it on, but so far it looks pretty promising and comfortable. I'm choosing to go with very thick sturdy seams instead of boning, but if it's not supportive enough, I'll likely add some zip-tie boning to the final garment. I will already be wearing a boned corset for the green waist cinch, so if I can avoid more boning in the cosplay I would like to be able to!
