So, now it's time to post some photos!
Me as Yukimura Kusunoki from Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai! It's my second self-made costume and I wore it for the third time on this day. Photos taken by my friend, we had fun (I guess?).
It was about -10 degrees Celsius outside back then in November...so it was a bit chilly if I say so myself.
More photos of this shoot can be found from my dA.

Okay, stop right here. There's a story to this photo.
We went inside one market hall to warm up and think about a plan after taking photos outside, and figured there was some kind of exercise biking contest going on so we couldn't possibly just walk through the corridor like we had thought.
We then just hung around for a while because neither of us wanted to go back to the freezing weather again and then a man with a big camera noticed me. He was like "Hey, can I..?" and took his camera and I was like, "Why not?" and tossed my jacket away. Then his dog ran there, it was running freely in the area, and the man asked if I was afraid of dogs, which I'm not, and if I'd hold the dog. He snapped a photo of us and asked if it's okay to publish on the biking club's website too.
And so, my cosplay photo just happened to get to my hometown's biking club's website photo album, taken by some professional photographer!? Like, how often does this happen? Wow, I was kind of special glad and didn't care about not getting any café setting photos at all (a superb idea to try and find an empty café on a Saturday afternoon in the city centre, not), and we agreed to call the photoshoot quits after that situation.

I made a bunny pillow plushie for my friend for a Christmas present and I thought to share how I made that, too. It was fun and different compared to the normal clothes sewing I've only ever done this far.
Sorry for the "tutorial" part of this is kind of vague and lacking, I was being lazy with taking photos when I made the bunny in the first place and I wrote the tutorial in the dead of night and just wanted to go sleep before I even started, surprisingly.

Okay, enjoy, and feel totally free to ask about any part of this! Zoom in the page if the text is too small.
A few things not mentioned in the tutorial:
In the photo showing my patterns, notice the dashed line on the body pattern? That kind of shape was better than the original shape, and really, five narrower pieces would've been better than four wider.
The sizes for my patterns were as follows (approximately): body piece height 18cm, width 20cm; bottom diameter 25.5cm, circumference 80cm; ear height 16.5cm, max width 6.5cm; tail height 5cm, width 3cm.
I used seam allowances of 1cm in everything except for the tail where I used 0.5cm seam allowances.
Sewing pieces together: right sides facing each other! Use pins to help keeping pieces in place. Turn sewed pieces around so that the right sides are out.
I guess that's pretty much it.

I wish everyone a great time this year 2015, and of course hoping for more people to tune in for my blog haha. I'll keep you updated.
Have a festive toilet selfie.

Cute photos of animals and stories about food and saving the lives of Seychelles' citizens.
