@@firstdondiego I know what you’re talking about and you’re right. That last minute con crunch. You’re able to come up with amazing ideas. It’s like a survival instinct, fight or flight, that kicks in. Wish I could get it all year round.
@@mitachiuchiha1426 In sewing pants are by far not the worst :D maybe crotch adjustment but try dresses and coats and see where the sewing god really starts throwing rocks at you... with a cannon
What a fantastic video. Your narration was engaging, informative with some nice humorous moments. Your passion and enthusiasm for what you do shone through. Nice to see how the costume came together.
I agree with Benni, I too have more control when painting with my fingers when it comes to certain detail work. Smudging is just so much easier with your fingers and the finger prints do help too.
Hi Svetlana :) I wanted to send you and Benni my most sincere love and thanks for the honest care and dedication you put into your work, this RUclips channel, your studio, your costumes, your books. Choosing to financially depend on cosplay must have raised questions for you at the start, and even now that covid makes it even harder for you, since there is no conventions so no costume "renting" etc, we still get to watch your heartfelt sincere videos and I really wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart you and Benni for all this. My most sincere love to both of you and wishing you all the success and happiness you so richly deserve. Good luck.
Thanks so much, that’s really sweet of you! Yes, it’s challenging, but the support if people like you is really amazing! We tried to shift more business more into the internet with pattern and book sales and it luckily worked out so far! :)
Your puppies are so cute!! I loved how they came up to you when you were working on the poncho. My dog has straight up walks on my cosplays when I work on them on the floor. Lol. 🌸
The random scattering of flumped floor corgis is always a great thing to see. The costume is pretty darn good too; and the work you do is so impressive. The weathering on the "amour" bits is amazing.
Have a lot to say about your skills and your talent ! Benny is a real artist in painting job and computer's graphics. You both are the best team ever !! 🤩🤩🤩 Kamui Cosplay the Experts of cosplay 👍
Had much fun playing the demo, coop with friends is quite nice and Trickster is indeed a great class! The costume turned out amazing, great work as always!
For those who want to use her exact fabrics but don't want to drive Benni and Svetlana insane: - Poncho: olive-green-grey drill, presumably 100% cotton. Also called Twill, or Denim. Can be recognised by the diagonal lines on the RIGHT side of the fabric. Your jeans and heavy duty work pants are made of this stuff. Frays a lot if the seams aren't zig-zag stitched! Can be stretchy, but you'll probably want non-stretch. If you're weathering the project, don't stress too much about the colour. - Fabric clips: AKA Wonderclips is one of the brand names. Used mainly for leather/pleather, vinyl, and thick fabrics, because pinholes are annoying AND if you stick a pin through thick fabrics it'll warp it out of shape and your seam can be ugly and wrinkled. This is why she uses them! ALSO NO FINGER INJURIES. Wonderclips are wonderful. - Poncho Details: For those americans out there (and most of the world) the metallic pleather she's using for the pieces on the poncho have similar products on fabric.com. Just look up faux leather and there will be metallic or gun metal types. INTERFACE IT if you don't want it to stretch. DO NOT IRON/PRESS/STEAM PLEATHER EVER you will burn your house down or poison yourself. If it's not metallic enough, use paint. - Glueing down literally everything bc sewing is scary or you're a propmaker at heart: Gutermann HT2 (the glue) is like, $5AUD, aka ~$2 for americans. It's sold on hundreds of websites now, including ebay. - Eyelets: They're everywhere and cost basically nothing. - Eyelet Tools: First, she used an eyelet tool that probably came with the eyelets she bought. Secondly, she used an eyelet grip tool, aka a crocodile or an eyelet punch or eyelet pliers. There are a few names for this, and the price can be more (also using it a lot WILL strain your wrist and give you blisters). - Shirt: Pattern is Burdastyle 6328. It's a simple, loose t-shirt pattern with 3 different sleeve styles and a boat neckline (you can just pull it over your head, no zips necessary) and it has US dress sizes 8-18 in the 1 pattern pack. The pattern is definitely for knit fabrics (stretchy, like the brown jersey she used) so I recommend making sure your sleeve pleather is stretchy too. If non-stretch, add about 1/2"-1" to either of the longest sides below your armpit to make sure your arm can get through it and you don't cut off your circulation. If it doesn't fit, go get stretchy pleather and try again. - Armguards: Same black pleather, but the 'lining' of grey drill is cut first (this is the side no-one will see, so go strong but cheap), and the interfacing is 'medium weight non-fusible'. The glue is a good idea! Non-fusible usually means you sew it down in the seam allowance - You can see Kamui sewing it down to the grey lining so her seams aren't visible on the pleather before she turns it inside out. Fusible means you have to iron it. Do not buy this for your pleather or the cosplay police will be sad. - Bracer eyelets: You can find eyelets with a longer 'shank' so they'll stay put through 6 layers of thick fabric + glue. If they fall apart, it's likely they're struggling to hold everything together, aka you've just tried to pick up a bed mattress with just one clothespeg. Not gonna happen. She also has 2 different sizes of eyelets here. The final seam is 'overlocked' or zig-zag-stitched. - Arm Thingies: Made with the same grey denim and pleather as the arm braces, but this time the grey is visible. Hope you bought a nice one! She is now definitely using a second pleather that is plain black to contrast with the metallic one. - When Benni is painting the red stripes, the blue things are called 'pattern weights'. The cheapest way to do this is just use tiny heavy things in your house. Otherwise, glue a handful of metal washers together in a tube shape. You can cover them with fabric if you like. It's just to stop the fabric moving around. - I'm too poor to know about vinyl cutters. You can do something similar when you're sewing everything together with 'vliesofix', which is basically a very thin sheet of glue, which you peel one side, iron it to fabric, cut out your shape, peel the other side, iron it to your costume (NOT PLEATHER) and sew around the edges. Used in applique. - Vest Details: I love seeing the interfacing! If you sew it in your seam allowances, clip it down to 1/4" above the seam, or it makes your costume look wonky. The black straps on the sides are literally called strapping, or webbing. You can also use twill tape, which is the cotton version. - I don't know anything about foam, that's why I'm here. - cotton drill can take a beating. Use your dremel/steel wool/scissors. Don't be gentle. - PANTS ARE HARD. And she absolutely bought non-stretch denim for her first crappy pair. But practice makes perfect. USE STRETCHY FABRIC. Stretch denim, stretch drill, stretch sateen from spoonflower with that hex design on it. Your 'seat' measurement is the most important part of pants, the second being your 'instep' measurement. Once you're figured out pants, you'll never spend more than $30 on a new pair ever again. I'm one of the people who helped Kamui fix her jedi pants way back when, so trust me, it's going to take a lot of practise. Dear games, more battle-skirts please. When adding details to the top of stretchy things, it's helpful that the fabrics stretch just as much as each other, otherwise you'll get weird wrinkling and limited movement/wearability. - Gaiters: Helpful tip, as well as with sleeves - your sewing machine probably has a 'sleeve arm' for tight tube sewing, which appears when you pop out the box that holds all the sewing feet/screwdrivers etc. It's likely it pops out, but some ultra cheap versions probably won't, so don't break your machine. It makes it wayyy easier to sew curves so you don't accidentally sew your sleeve to itself! Tightly-fitted leg armour is usually hella wonky so don't be sad if your own pattern looks like a melted lightsaber. This is why pants are hard. Also, technically that horizontal seam near the ankle she did by folding the fabric a little bit can also be known as a 'french seam', 'lapped seam' or 'double-lapped seam' depending on if you cut it or not. - Benni handsews the gaiters to the jeans by sewing a running stitch hidden in Svetlana's sewing line! Which is great because handsewing is 100x stronger than machine sewing! And if you use a backstitch, it's 250x stronger! And won't come apart immediately if a stitch breaks when you're having fun at con. If you want to be ultra sneaky and do your fingers less nerve damage, do a 'whip stitch' right around the edges, right between the two layers, while wearing thimbles. Leather is the most forgiving thimble to have, and whipstitching means you can fold the fabric for an easier grip, and binge netflix at the same time! - I appreciate the bullethole on the butt. Nice touch. - I also don't know wig stuff, but that's not why I'm here. - YOU THOUGHT PANTS WERE HARD. TRY MAKING GLOVES. If you're just learning to sew, order gloves online. If you're anywhere under a decade of dedicated sewing, order gloves online. GLOVES ARE THE REAL EVIL. If you're dead-set on gloves, my condolences, and use stretch fabric, scuba is fine, don't just trace your hand, there's more to it or you'll cut off your circulation (for real), and your sewing machine maybe came with a foot to help with the 1/8" seams. Janome has one called the overedge foot that makes it very simple and very accurate to zig-zag stitch everything together. But seriously, it's not worth it. Just paint some biking gloves because gloves take at least 1 day to make by themselves. About 4 hours for small fingerless gloves like these IF you don't make any mistakes. Final thoughts: 3 weeks is NOTHING to make this costume. It's the blink of an eye, and as much sleep. Expect at least a month, maybe 2 with the gun and the wig. DO NOT EXPECT COSPLAY COMMISSIONS TO BE AS QUICK THEY ARE NOT. Even Kamui missed some of the tinier, easily-missed details and I'm glad she did, because stuff like this takes forever. Be nice to me and even nicer to them and I may do this on the other videos, no promises, I'm just in a helpful mood. Go buy their booooks ♥ Also use zig zag stitch whenever you're sewing stretch fabric to keep it stretchy. And go watch the video a bajillion times with adblock off, or join their patreon or post on their facebook page, depending on where you're at in life. Okay love you bye xx Your shopping list for this costume (approximately, make a mock-up first in cheap fabric to find exactly what you need): Their books 2m chocolate brown jersey 4-5m grey-green non-stretch cotton drill (1.5m will go on the poncho alone, another 2m on the gaiters) 2m medium weight non-fusible interfacing 3m metallic black pleather 2m jet black pleather 2.5m stretch blue/black denim (for pants) Foam (I don't know how to measure it and don't ask me about the gun) Paint Wig Black Eyeshadow Makeup remover (Micellar water is the best/easiest/nicest type) LOTS OF THREAD. Gutermann HT2 glue
Men's version of the shirt pattern? I'd recommend Burda young 6602 style A. It does men's sizes 34-46 and women's 6-20. For a boat neck, just cut like 1-2" off the edge of the neckhole, but if you use stretch fabric, again, not much of a problem. There are too many button-down patterns for men and not enough t-shirts, so if all else fails, find a jumper pattern and ignore the parts that make it a jumper. You just need Bodice Front, Bodice Back, and Sleeves. Ignore the extra unnecessary shit aka details unless you want a fancy shirt.
That's freakin amazing - every time I watch your vids I get inspired to build more.... but inspiration without time is only good intentions. :/ Using the dremel to age cloth though - that's genius!
Really cool and badass cosplay. I remember dirtying and destroying my first apocalyptic cosplay. Lets just say i had tooooo much fun making blood stains and dirtying up everything with cocoa powder. Lol
Corgi powers activate! (Entire world's mood improves) Question for the cosplay verse. How do YOU end up not smelling like a paint factory? Wait a week before wearing???
making this costume in three weeks shows how amazing you guys are, I bought my first sawing machine today inspired by your videos, thanks for your amazing tutorials!!
Svetlana you're wonderful, and your work is elite level! I could listen to you and watch you craft for hours! Thank you for being amazing and for introducing us to your adorable CORGI'S :) xxxx
i believe the stole/poncho is made from a gunny sack. Thats why it has the eyelets with the inclusion of a piece of rope they are the closing mechanism for a gunny sack{ww2 army/navy enlisted man's personal bag] or a a old truck tarp which would still have eyelets
That was quite epic! Your sewing skills are amazing. Thanks to you I bought some of those sewing clips and they work quite well, so thank you extra for that. I think most of the video game companies should hire pro cosplayers like you guys to do similar projects for future releases. Seeing a real person dressed as one of their characters makes the game seem more real to me. Thanks a bunch, guys! You rock! And... Corgi!
come for the corgi....stay for the armour being made with distracting loaf cuteness!!! You'd think having my own loaf would make me immune...if anything it makes me cuddle her more!
O M G,....as if I was watching a movie... I wanted to cry at the End, with the Beautiful result, as if you took her out of the virtual animation into real life,...woooow...emotional ending for me. Loooved it. I am allready thinking about ideas for my little grandson, only grandson, he is going to loove it. I want more. ENCORE, ENCORE!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
3 Weeks making this!? Amazing! Another great work! And you’re Corgis are so adorable!!😍 Sorry, but ever since EIN from Cowboy Bebop, I have a soft spot for Corgis.😅
Only 3 weeks to whip out an amazing quality cosplay with only 50% of an accurate reference? I hope Square Enix is embarrassed. This is amazing work, and even more brilliant knowing you had so many unnecessary obstacles!
This looks so amazing!!! Even weathered down the result looks some clean (sewing quality wise hahaha) For the future photoshoot I think adding even more grimy makeup on your face would look even better too!
your work always blows me away and inspires me so much!!! thank you for putting so much work and love into everything you guys do!! love from california
“My sewing skills aren’t great” *proceeds to make a fake costume into a real life project by sewing everything perfectly while I can’t even sew on a button* GIVE YOURSELF MORE CREDIT GIRL!!!!! You’re amazing❤
What a great fantastic job! It looks so easy when i see you create this, i still want to learn sewing this year, you make sewing seem so simple yet i know how hard it is.
That turned out super great! Funny I was looking to try sewing pants for the first time in the near future. After this video I'm looking forward to joining you in hating the experience 😂

Me over here, struggling to stitch on a button....
Yer not alone. Sewing machines hates me and dies once i touch it. Ive already killed 3. One semi old sewing machine, and 2 brand new ones.

Try ten buttons! The eleventh went easy ;)
3 weeks! That’s ridiculous! These companies are crazy. I can’t believe you pulled it off. Bravo Svet, Bravo Benny.

it blows my mind that Square Enix only sent you one freakin image for reference, that is so lazy on their part, shame on them.
Great work as always.

This is such a complete tutorial. Thank you so much. Everything is amazing. I love your Doommarrow gun

Yeah!!!! Another great video. I love watching and hearing you. Thanks for sharing...
Jesus Christ, I thought the thumbnail was an in game screenshot! your so talented and beautiful too.
That's freakin amazing - every time I watch your vids I get inspired to build more.... but inspiration without time is only good intentions. :/
Using the dremel to age cloth though - that's genius!
So many great techniques in one jam-packed video! I really love your technique for rivets and screws. And just the right amount of Korgi !
I run a Grim Marrow in my infinite ammo technomancer build. It's an awesome weapon! I love the outfit you made!
Good job on the armor and weapon! Outriders is great. I've played through as Trickster and had a great time with it.
Wow, you are both very skilled and the result looks amazing!
I've never cosplayed, but watching the process is very entertaining
Really cool and badass cosplay. I remember dirtying and destroying my first apocalyptic cosplay. Lets just say i had tooooo much fun making blood stains and dirtying up everything with cocoa powder. Lol
I watch these videos for the adorable dogs, the awesome cosplay and tutorial is a nice bonus though
Corgi powers activate! (Entire world's mood improves)
Question for the cosplay verse. How do YOU end up not smelling like a paint factory? Wait a week before wearing???
Final image looks AMAZING! :)
Wow, I just can't say anything that describes your work here more accurately
making this costume in three weeks shows how amazing you guys are, I bought my first sawing machine today inspired by your videos, thanks for your amazing tutorials!!
Svetlana you're wonderful, and your work is elite level! I could listen to you and watch you craft for hours! Thank you for being amazing and for introducing us to your adorable CORGI'S :) xxxx
Couldn’t stop looking at Zinogre and Rathalos in the back 😛. But damn, awesome work as always, good to see companies supporting cosplay
That post-apocalyptic make-up basically looks like my everyday make-up, not kidding x)
Also great video as ever :3
FANTASTIC job! Thanks for sharing!
I always love watching your process!
Thumbs up also for the post-production photo, the whole thing looks so good!!!!!
My twelve year old, she loves cosplay and loves these tips. Great job!
Awesome work as always. You two are very talented and inspiring. Keep up the great work 👍
An INCREDIBLY AMAZING cosplay you've did right here, REAL fraking AWESOME!
I use that glue! Its sooooooooooo amazing! It really gets the job done!
i believe the stole/poncho is made from a gunny sack. Thats why it has the eyelets with the inclusion of a piece of rope they are the closing mechanism for a gunny sack{ww2 army/navy enlisted man's personal bag] or a a old truck tarp which would still have eyelets
That was quite epic! Your sewing skills are amazing. Thanks to you I bought some of those sewing clips and they work quite well, so thank you extra for that. I think most of the video game companies should hire pro cosplayers like you guys to do similar projects for future releases. Seeing a real person dressed as one of their characters makes the game seem more real to me. Thanks a bunch, guys! You rock! And... Corgi!
I want that poncho so bad. Great work as always!
come for the corgi....stay for the armour being made with distracting loaf cuteness!!! You'd think having my own loaf would make me immune...if anything it makes me cuddle her more!
O M G,....as if I was watching a movie... I wanted to cry at the End, with the Beautiful result, as if you took her out of the virtual animation into real life,...woooow...emotional ending for me. Loooved it. I am allready thinking about ideas for my little grandson, only grandson, he is going to loove it.
I want more. ENCORE, ENCORE!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
final pic edit is so amazing!!!!
The weathering looks fantastic guys 👍
2:31 what a cute corgi pose
3 Weeks making this!? Amazing! Another great work! And you’re Corgis are so adorable!!😍
Sorry, but ever since EIN from Cowboy Bebop, I have a soft spot for Corgis.😅
Only 3 weeks to whip out an amazing quality cosplay with only 50% of an accurate reference? I hope Square Enix is embarrassed. This is amazing work, and even more brilliant knowing you had so many unnecessary obstacles!
I love that your dogs are named Zelda and Midna 🥺
Oh yeah...what an amazing costume! Great job!!!
This voice over turned out so funny. :D
I also hate sewing pants, so I can totally understand the struggle.
This looks so amazing!!! Even weathered down the result looks some clean (sewing quality wise hahaha) For the future photoshoot I think adding even more grimy makeup on your face would look even better too!
23:44 the dog is why I'm here
your work always blows me away and inspires me so much!!! thank you for putting so much work and love into everything you guys do!! love from california
I don't know this game, but damn, that ridiculously awesome looking weapon makes me want to know it :D
Can watch your videos for hour's... Excellent work 👍
“My sewing skills aren’t great”
*proceeds to make a fake costume into a real life project by sewing everything perfectly while I can’t even sew on a button*
GIVE YOURSELF MORE CREDIT GIRL!!!!! You’re amazing❤
