| Follow the costumes I'm currently working on! |
Envirion and I decided to cosplay
something simple, recognizable and still obscure.
In the end I chose Zuko's mother and she decided
on Kya, Katara's and Sokka's mother. It was fun
to walk around the convention with people saying
our Azula and Katara costumes 'rocked'. I even
had two people think I was crossplaying as Firelord
Ozai!
Pictures of Ursa are kind of scarce
online, so I had to rely on the (one) episode
she plays a decent role in.
This costume was relatively easy;
I picked up a pattern to alter and it went smoothly.
The 'trickier' parts were the trim and accessories.
(I include the red collar as an accessory.) In
order to make my life simple I decided to use
iron on double-sided adhesive everything for the
accessories. I know, I know, not the best choice,
but easy!
The yellow accents were just two
sides of fabric adhered together and then cut
to shape. The red collar was more of a pain, but
I discovered a very thick double-sided adhesive
'interfacing'. I ironed the fabric on both sides,
cut to shape and then sewed a trim to the edges.
(I had to make a pattern for the shapes and test
it out before I used the real thing.) For my hair
I made a tiny bun on the top of my head, surrounded
it with fake hair and then placed my hairpiece
on top of that. (Aside from the little loop on
the hairpiece, that's my real hair.)
