As someone who cosplays/sews her own cosplays, knows how to video edit, and knows how to do motion graphics in after effects. The amount of work you put in a single video outside of the fact that you’re making a crazy detailed and amazing cosplay is ABSOLUTELY INSANE AND VERY APPRECIATED. I'm also a visual learner so the motion graphics are beautifully done. You deserve more subscribers!!
I cannot tell you, how much i appreciate this comment, You are completely correct these take a LOOOOOOT of work, but genuinly, from the bottom of my heart i say this sincerly, comments like these make it absolutely worth it, its worth more than a higher sub count so BIG HUGS, Also, put on top of that, I also have a full time job😂
@@SarahSpaceman thats incredible!!! You’re the reason I want to make my own cosplays!! :D thats so crazy you have a full time job too, that must be super hard to balance both! I really appreciate how much work you put into your designs, videos, and everything because its so cool and inspiring!!! 💖💗💞
@@SarahSpaceman I know it's kinda way after the video but u did such a good job on this cosplay it's what got me into actually listening to vociloid (idk if I spelled vociloid right ♥)
You explained the importance of grainlines in two minutes better than my sewing instructor did all semester. Also, your editing/graphic design is so cool and such a helpful visual!
The issue is that school teachers and instructors all work on time and that only do a progress of learning anything on a actually smart brain people who could go to way better and higher ranked schools but due to schools being way to full they end up in a sewing school for people who actually don't have a high smart brain its gonna be way harder to learn from school anything actually because they can't learn with school speed and due to school teachers needing to move from 1 program to another in actually already a week in sewing school but you still did not learn properly seaming it even gets embarrassing and than you can't keep on going to that school even because that's how I felt at least when I went to that school
My daughter desperately wants a Miku Strawberry costume. You may have simultaneously saved my life and broken my brain. Thank you and AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHH
@@CrazyPotato_Eve How you get sewing experience is to sew something simple. A pillowcase, for example. Then move on to the multi-layer, complex cosplay. 😉Well, there might be a few steps in between.😁 I knew someone who built up sewing experience by sewing doll's dresses and clothes, because they took so little fabric. I know for myself that it is very satisfying to complete a pretty dress for a stuffed rabbit using just inches of very expensive cloth.
Hearing "thank you for 4k subscribers" then looking down and seeing "192K subscribers, 440K views , 1 year ago". That really put a smile on my face, it's wonderful that your channel's doing well ^^
I love how calm you were as your fabric slid off the table. "Bye." 5:07 You just roll with the silly things, even when throwing a skirt into the "angry" pile. What a great way to deal with frustrating things.😊
I went to your Cosplay Sewing for Beginners panel at AWA this past weekend, and you were SO helpful for someone who's never even held a needle before! I'm going to start practicing with the sewing kits you handed out and follow your cosplay journey ☺️
Aww! Thank you so much for this comment! Im so glad it was helpful! I was so so nervous talking up there, it was my very first panel and I honestly thought I did really bad so knowing it was helpful to you means absolutely the world!
This sounds like the perfect beginners thing for me, glad it helped you, You know how you always feel silly asking someone for help in fear of them making fun of you ? With Sarah's videos I don't feel like that , I feel like they can actually teach me and my anxiety not make my hands have the shakes like others have done.
I did actually work on cosplay whilst watching this. I am working on Starlight from the Boys TV-show and I think it's actually coming together quite nicely. I always love watching cosplay-videos when working on cosplay
Haha, I did Homelander not long ago! I just did it for fun, but I’m wearing it in a couple days cuz I’m actually the leader of a cosplay club and the yearbook committee is taking our pictures for uhhh…the yearbook. It’s gonna be so fun to wear it at school AGAIN. I’m working on Link from TLOZ rn but I’m gonna do starlight soon. I don’t particularly like her character but her costume is GORGEOUS.
As a band kid, hearing you knowing how to read music made me happy because I love a musical cosplayer. (NOT SAYING OTHER COSPLAYERS ARENT WORSE-💀) and i adore the cosplay. You took so much time out of your day(s) to make this cosplay. The finished product is adorable❤
I love your videos so much! The visuals you use and your explanations are so effective. The music and tone is so cozy and relaxing as well! You're my favorite cosplay RUclipsr :)
Ahhh I’ve been wanting to make this and had NO idea where to start. I’m pretty self taught in sewing so watching all your techniques and the way you problem solve on your cosplays is really cool to see!! I feel like I know a little more about how I could take this cosplay on myself :)
I’m doing the same! This is a perfect example for it, I’m so excited; it’s been so hard to find a hoop skirt tutorial or alternative that would fit Madoka’s dress.
This turn out to be my favorite cosplay and crafting channel of all time. I can watch your videos over and over again without getting enough of it. It motivates me so much! Thank you so much! ✨
3 months late BUT I am watching your Miku series as I finish up a big original design build for Scaramouche! A LOT of painting and embroidery work right now, so your videos have been nice to have playing while I slowly work through it! Congrats on your Miku win by the way- I could not be more thrilled for you after following you on insta for years 💖
the "Thank you grandma, if you don't say thank you... get out." thing was perfect, lol. I inherited my blind grandma's machine that she had most of her adult life and I've yet to be able to set it back up, but anyways. Thanks grandma! 🥰😆
You make sewing seem like an actual reachable goal for me And that's saying a lot as I beat myself up on stuff I felt like I could "never do" before because people would laugh at my dreams..... But after kicking those people out my life I think I'm going to make a sort of dream board for goals And it's going to be all cosplay related. Like 1) learn to sew 2) style a wig 3) make a jacket 4) make or style thrifted shoes 5) learn cosplay makeup Etc etc Watching your videos seems so realistic in the sense if you were a teacher you'd probably be a little awkward around the edges (aren't we all) but everyone's favorite teacher to get after class time with to be tutored and mentored because your advice is actually helpful and if we fail then whatever, just roll with the punches and learn from it which is the attitude I should have rather than letting it deter me from said goals
This skirt is so magnificent ??? You made such a great job bringing it alive 😔💖💖 contrary to some people, I’m part of the people who do not craft in front of your videos because I want to focus and be sure to understand everything you explain !! (Definitely not going to forget that cross grain x ruffles before a while) Excited to see you work on the rest 🍓❤
Your videos kept me sane while I was working on a very difficult wig. Also I love that I learn something new each time even if its just a small thing. Keep up the good work
It is crazy to think you posted this five months ago and were thinking your viewers for 4000 subscribers. As of watching this on March 3, 2023 you are less than 4000 away from 100,000 followers it is 100% earned and I hope you are incredibly proud of yourself. Your content is interesting informative, instructional, and entertaining, it’s impressive that you pack all of that into a single channel I am so glad that I found your channel. Thank you so much and congrats on the success!
For future reference, a trick Ive seen from old Dior gowns is that skirts and petticoats were sewn on yokes before it was attached to the waistband to minimize bulk because of pleats and gathers and when the dress or skirt closes with a zipper, only the exterior is sew while the under layers have the opening sewn with bias tape or ribbon then using thread bars (I think thats what its called) to the zipper at the bottom of the zipper to keep it secure while keeping the movement. When I was working with Eclipsa Butterfly, my design had a built in organza petticoat that had a yoke for the inside and it was only tacked to the side seams of the outer skirt waistband which was closed with a series of hooks and eyes and bars and the petticoats closed with hooks and bars which is super heavy and hard to store because its so thick and it gets its own storage box because the petticoat is built in. The skirt I made is basically an 1880s bustle dress so it had an underskirt and an over skirt which has been attached to one side seam with the over skirt being hooked on the waistband with a plethora of hooks and bars to hide the closures and the gaping back opening since I didnt use a zipper at all. Does that make sense? It made sense to me when I made it and tried explaining it.
I don't sew but I would really like to one day and your videos really inspire me. The idea of you being able to transform fabric, beads and other simple materials into an astonishingly complicated dress/cosplay really amazes me! I learned quite a couple of things too, especially with the grain and cross graining. Thank you so much for the video!
My girlfriend is the one who usually watches these videos. But just by proxy of being in the same room when shes watching these… i too have learned so much. 🤘🏽
I just discovered your channel and I've been obsessed with how this cosplay is turning out! Its so motivating -- you explain everything super well, so its awesome for a sewing newbie like me who gives up easy and doesnt know why things arent working 60% of the time 🤣💙 I also love all the detail you put into making your cosplays, as that's the main reason I wanted to make my own costumes to begin with. Its so rewarding to see how cool all the details look in the end even if they are a major pain to do (I am mainly an artist, I feel the agony) That's to say, thank you for this video! I cant wait to follow along for more 💙💙💙
We're always the biggest critiques of our own work! This all looks absolutely gorgeous to me (and many others I'm sure!!) The ruffles are super cute! But it's understandable if you want to change them because you gotta do what makes you feel good about your work!! 💕💕
I'm making a quilt for my Grandfather! TMI my Grandmother taught me how to sew and quilt, so this will be the first one I've made since she passed. I'm learning a lot from your videos, and I really want to become better. You made me want to sew again
I am not always the best at sowing but I find it so fun to watch you make your cosplays that I keep trying. I am a kid and I like making things that are a bit smaller like bags and you make me think of new things and I think that you are absolutely incredible and inspiring, I'm so exited to see what else you make!
You dancing around in the finished skirt at the end made me laugh so hard. Also, that sneakily hidden pocket was such a good idea. I love how it turned out, even with the satin issue. With the sheer amount of detail and materials required, having that turn out a bit off isn't a big deal, and to most people, it isn't even going to be all that noticeable. I'm learning machine sewing on a couple of old Kenmores, and with just the one video, I've learned quite a bit (how long I retain it is another issue entirely). You explain things beautifully.
I quit cosplaying 10 years ago and never thought I could get back into it and watching your videos makes me feel like I can. Like all of these things I want to craft seem less terrifying to try and make.
Girl, this channel is so so good. I love how in depth you go with all of this both in explaining the crafting and the video editing it takes to fully illustrate your points. So well done.
Watching your videos has inspired me to start making my own cosplays. I have watched that Miku videos over and over because I plan on making one of my own. I have also been working on an illumi cosplay while watching your videos and some of them have helped me work out imperfections in my patterns so thank you. I love the content you create and please keep up the good work. You're doing amazing.
I love the way you explain your process and why you’ve done what you’ve done. Even how you explained the error on the ruffles was excellent (and I don’t think they look that bad). Thank you for all the work you put into the script, graphics, editing and of course the sewing ❤
You've been one of my big inspirations to really dive headfirst into sewing. Today I watched this as I fiished my first (small) project without help from my grandma. Thank you so much for sharing your craft with all of us!
I have been watching your videos for hours and I am just so charmed by everything. You, your work, your mannerisms, the teaching moments, everything. You are such a treat to watch, I keep smiling and laughing to myself, exclaiming in amazement when I learn something new. Thank you for sharing your passion with the internet.
I absolutely love your cosplays, the fact you make them by hand is insane to me. You're such an inspiration and I can't say enough how much I look up to you!!!
I use to listen to your cosplay videos in a loop while making my own cosplays, I'm trying to do a full calne ca with just cardboard and a full meltdown rin with a mini portable sewing machine, and all I have to say it's thank you. You inspire me so much, it's heartwarming, I would really like to be as good as you one day! Thank you Sarah, or all your kind words and the always amazing works you bring to us, you may not know it, but there's always a small cosplayer like me learning how to sew with your videos, thank you.
Currently crocheting a full size 15th anniversary Miku cosplay for a local con, and revisiting these vids while I crochet is so inspiring. Thank you for inspiring me to cosplay!
as a teen, i tried to make my own cosplays. i had BIG plans but i was never able to finish any for myself. i always got stuck and never able to finish in time while also helping my friends for years in a row. because of that, i got so burnt out of cosplaying and cosplay making for years. watching u document ur progress though, u trying and succeeding in some and failing in others then showing how u fixed it or just coming to terms with it not being the best, but its fine? its lighting the spark back in me. the hidden pocket part got me so excited actually like my god what a GENIUS MOVE! I HATE having to lug around a bag just for my phone and wallet. i have a lot to learn, but this is reminding me of the passion i had and the things i wanted to create. so thank you so so much for recording these cosplay progress videos and uploading them!!
Pinking shears to cut notches on curves is the most genius thing I've ever heard. Your craftsmanship is incredible, thank you so much for sharing your process!
I was just recommended your channel, and can I say-- this is so great to listen to while working on my own creative projects! I'm a huge Miku stan and I really appreciate the way you applied your sewing expertise to this cosplay!! The skirt looks amazing -- time for me to binge the rest of the videos to see the final result!! 🤩✨I'm definitely going to share your channel with my mom, too-- she'll love it!! 🥰
Ok I know I’m late, but I’m currently working on a bow tie made of wires for a Monika cosplay right now and it’s turning out great! Your Miku cosplay is probably one of the best cosplays I’ve seen in a while, it’s super inspiring to see how you problem solve and interpret the design❤
Right now im working on a doll that im later going to cosplay and i was watching this video while working on some concept art😊.i just want to say that you have a really calming voice and i love working on projects while watching your videos ❤
I have watched all these videos many times because they are really entertaining and i like doing things like school work , wig styling and cleaning while listening .
I have only begun sewing clothes in the last year, and I am super excited to do coz plays. And I think the ruffle looks great. Much better then anything I could do. And I only do my sewing by hand as I hate sewing machines. So just be glad you didn’t have to hand sew the whole skirt!!!!!
ive been watching your entire miku cosplay series and it’s mindblowing!!!!! your dedication and skill are literally so admirable - im a fashion major but a beginner sewer so watching these has really helped me file away some ideas for future projects that don’t feature “conventional” designs (aka huge bows!!!!) thank you sm i can’t wait to watch more!!!
the purring bobtail kitty is so cute😭baby moment HEEHOO this entire video was so informative and well put together, I'm super lowkey into cosplay and I've never made my own costume fully, but i hope to get better with time and I'll make sure to keep your channel close to refer to! you obviously know what your doing and you put so much love into it easy and fun to watch
ive been watching your videos while working on my magical tailer witch cosplay im new to sewing but you inspired me to start! Your cosplays are truly amazing!
I'm just getting into sewing (most ambitious things I've done is tailor a too-large dress down for myself, make Sylveon ribbons and ears with removable bows, and make a pose-able Leafeon tail) for cosplay, and your videos make me want to try harder and go all-out. The satin explanation was fascinating! It'll be such a big help knowing that information going forward. :)
I recently discovered your channel and I absolutely LOVE the details you put in your projects, your humor in the videos and generally your vibe and energy. I'm not a cosplayer but more of a pattern maker/designer which you also absolutely master! Keep it up, I subscribed immediately!
I definitely understand your perfectionism and being unhappy with messing something up this way. That said, this skirt looks absolutely amazing, both from front and back :) I can't imagine most of people seeing this noticing that anything is amiss - I definitely can't, even though you explained exactly what is the problem. Great work!
New to the channel, absolutely incredible visuals and explanations. You have no idea how much I appreciate the graphics and how different fabrics works😭 brb about to watch the rest of your vids (the fabric shopping vid was MWAH perfection)!!!
The grain directions disappearing and reappearing in time with the music was a great touch! I'm hoping your explanation helps the terms stick, as English is my second language so I sort of want to learn the same info and apply it to my two spoken languages, so if one sticks, I can try to get the second one too! And maybe show my mom so she learns too. I'll have to look at your other informational videos too, since you're so good at explaining things!
Honestly, i am so happy that you got more viewers and are growing with every video! I sew too, not that complicated stuff like you are doing, more basic stuff like pillow cases and bags. Also i am currently working in a fabric store and i love that i can lern the english terms trough your videos, since i can use them when we habe customers who can not speak our mother tongue and communicate with me in english. Also i did learn graphic design and i feel so big nostalgia when i see you using Illustrator and other Porgamms like that. I love watching your videos, it kinda calms me down and helps me concentrate. You are a truly inspiring person!
i suck at sowing and i dont think i coudl ever sow clothes, but watching you inspires me and makes me want to learn and make my own cosplays in the future ❤ i love ur content so much!
I may not be making any of the cosplays you make but I am learning so many new techniques from watching your videos! Thank you for all of the work you put into these, they are so wonderful!
I only sew and don’t do cosplay but to be honest I learned so much about sewing and textiles in this video rather then a lottt of sewing videos, the graphics make it so clear to understand
I packed for a big trip down south, to hang out with my partner’s family, while this video played. And I just wanna say I really love your content and have played many of your videos on repeat before because I really like them ❤
i'm a concept artist that draws magical girls and cute things in my own time, but make bloody guns during office hours qwq your videos always inspire me and give me the right amount of fluffy goodness even while working ^__^ i hope i'll be able to make cosplay again soon
Thanks so much! I'm so happy with how it MOVES, and Im glad that was helpful! Its something I realized when I made my sakizou diamond, I noticed that it folded differently but i didnt know why, and only recently did I realize it was because of the weave.
Thank you so much for the tutorial. That was a lot of hard work! I'll remember that bit about satin. I don't think I've ever heard that explanation anywhere in my sewing lessons.
feeling a little called out about making things while listening considering I just stumbled across your content lmao but you are correct, I'm in the process of designing tattoo sleeves for myself, you're chill as heck and I'm subbing now 🤟
I found your channel through this video and omg. You are so good at explaining! I'm a beginner, just doing my best to learn and then this great video gets recommended to me, I'm hooked. Also love your humor💕
I absolutely fell in love with this Miku! I don’t know what it is, the strawberries, the frills, the flowers in her hair. I had to get her nendoroid. Your cosplay looks amazing!
wow, this is so amazing!!!! i came from your video at the cosplay contest, congrats!! i am in awe. all of your cosplays are so amazing and i’m def gonna put your videos in my cosplay playlist for inspo/tips!! thank you so much :) keep up the good work!!!!!🍓💕
not working on a cosplay (i'm not a cosplayer) BUT i'm watching several of your videos (the Miku x Strawberry sagaaa!!!) while crocheting some pieces. already finished the shell of a purse, a pair of socks and a scarf. you seem like a very kind person (also hella skilled in many aspects), watching your videos is very pleasant ^^
i fixed the elastic on a pair of undies while listening to this! i love hearing your process and what you've learned. pls make more videos im binging thru them so fast!!
Quick tip that you might not have thought of, with the thick layers on the ruffle below the notes, a walking foot might help save a needle or two. It is super slow compared to normal feet but it’s helped me in the past with similar issues ❤ Super cute vid as always!
I discovered you through the renna cosplay (amazing ) and you've quickly become a comfort RUclipsr. You're so smart, talented and entertaining and I am so happy to have found you. I work on my own projects while your videos are on.
I am working on my Sophia Guildmarm Cosplay from Monster Hunter. This is my first "big" sewing project and you have given me so much motivation with your videos. I constantly watch them while working on my cosplay. Thank you for these great videos!!
Subscribed not only because I love this design (and your work), but to see how you tackle the wig. But your videos are very helpful and I’m learning techniques I can apply to other costumes!
two months ago, we had FOUR THOUSAND, but now we're almost at 15k!!! I feel like i got to watch this channel grow and being an og feels pretty great! I showed my om your Kokomi cosplay a while back, and she really loves your work!! Congrats on 14.9k!!
I just got my first sewing machine and I'm so excited to use it to make cosplays, I'm already fighting with it but this video I stopped a the ruffles and was like round two I will get a straight stich on this machine. ❤️

Every time I watch one of your videos it makes me want to try and make my own cosplay. One of these days I will get motivation to try.
Aww! Im glad! And I'm sure you'll do great when you do it!
Same here! But I literally have no sewing experience.
So do it!
Im rooting for you❤

I don’t do cosplay, but this is one of the most informative sewing videos I’ve seen in a while. You’re a great maker and teacher. Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
A cool think about cosplay us that the clothes can be really different to daily use clothes
Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🩷

I've been so curious about how to get the hoop skirt to work with an exposed underskirt for Goddess Madoka, so this was so cool to see.
I’m doing the same! This is a perfect example for it, I’m so excited; it’s been so hard to find a hoop skirt tutorial or alternative that would fit Madoka’s dress.
This turn out to be my favorite cosplay and crafting channel of all time. I can watch your videos over and over again without getting enough of it. It motivates me so much! Thank you so much! ✨

Didn't work on any cosplay while watching, but I did crochet while watching! Also the skirt looks AMAZING
Ohhhhh! I love crochet, Im not good at it at all because i dont like counting, but it is so satisfying to do lol
I'm doing the same thing, LOL
Omg am also crocheting!😮
lol i'm also crocheting !
Im watching this while crocheting right now!!! lol
3 months late BUT I am watching your Miku series as I finish up a big original design build for Scaramouche!

Congrats on your Miku win by the way- I could not be more thrilled for you after following you on insta for years 💖

you are so talented oh my god the motion graphics and the sewing i can only imagine how long this video took to make
You make sewing seem like an actual reachable goal for me
And that's saying a lot as I beat myself up on stuff I felt like I could "never do" before because people would laugh at my dreams.....
But after kicking those people out my life I think I'm going to make a sort of dream board for goals
And it's going to be all cosplay related.
Like
1) learn to sew
2) style a wig
3) make a jacket
4) make or style thrifted shoes
5) learn cosplay makeup
Etc etc
Watching your videos seems so realistic in the sense if you were a teacher you'd probably be a little awkward around the edges (aren't we all) but everyone's favorite teacher to get after class time with to be tutored and mentored because your advice is actually helpful and if we fail then whatever, just roll with the punches and learn from it which is the attitude I should have rather than letting it deter me from said goals

Your videos kept me sane while I was working on a very difficult wig. Also I love that I learn something new each time even if its just a small thing. Keep up the good work
Aww yay! Best of luck on your wig! Wigs can be so difficult.
When I'm facing a difficult sewing project, watching your videos kind of make it seem possible. You're a huge inspiration for me. :)
Aww! Thats really sweet. 💖 you can do whatever you put your mind too!
It is crazy to think you posted this five months ago and were thinking your viewers for 4000 subscribers. As of watching this on March 3, 2023 you are less than 4000 away from 100,000 followers it is 100% earned and I hope you are incredibly proud of yourself. Your content is interesting informative, instructional, and entertaining, it’s impressive that you pack all of that into a single channel I am so glad that I found your channel. Thank you so much and congrats on the success!
For future reference, a trick Ive seen from old Dior gowns is that skirts and petticoats were sewn on yokes before it was attached to the waistband to minimize bulk because of pleats and gathers and when the dress or skirt closes with a zipper, only the exterior is sew while the under layers have the opening sewn with bias tape or ribbon then using thread bars (I think thats what its called) to the zipper at the bottom of the zipper to keep it secure while keeping the movement. When I was working with Eclipsa Butterfly, my design had a built in organza petticoat that had a yoke for the inside and it was only tacked to the side seams of the outer skirt waistband which was closed with a series of hooks and eyes and bars and the petticoats closed with hooks and bars which is super heavy and hard to store because its so thick and it gets its own storage box because the petticoat is built in. The skirt I made is basically an 1880s bustle dress so it had an underskirt and an over skirt which has been attached to one side seam with the over skirt being hooked on the waistband with a plethora of hooks and bars to hide the closures and the gaping back opening since I didnt use a zipper at all. Does that make sense? It made sense to me when I made it and tried explaining it.
I don't sew but I would really like to one day and your videos really inspire me. The idea of you being able to transform fabric, beads and other simple materials into an astonishingly complicated dress/cosplay really amazes me! I learned quite a couple of things too, especially with the grain and cross graining. Thank you so much for the video!
My girlfriend is the one who usually watches these videos. But just by proxy of being in the same room when shes watching these… i too have learned so much. 🤘🏽
I love this design! I'm so excited to see how you tackled it!
Thank you! Ive just started on the blouse and im excited by how its looking :)
I just discovered your channel and I've been obsessed with how this cosplay is turning out! Its so motivating -- you explain everything super well, so its awesome for a sewing newbie like me who gives up easy and doesnt know why things arent working 60% of the time 🤣💙 I also love all the detail you put into making your cosplays, as that's the main reason I wanted to make my own costumes to begin with. Its so rewarding to see how cool all the details look in the end even if they are a major pain to do (I am mainly an artist, I feel the agony)
That's to say, thank you for this video! I cant wait to follow along for more 💙💙💙
Thank you so much!! Im so happy theyre that motivating!
We're always the biggest critiques of our own work! This all looks absolutely gorgeous to me (and many others I'm sure!!) The ruffles are super cute! But it's understandable if you want to change them because you gotta do what makes you feel good about your work!! 💕💕
I'm making a quilt for my Grandfather! TMI my Grandmother taught me how to sew and quilt, so this will be the first one I've made since she passed. I'm learning a lot from your videos, and I really want to become better. You made me want to sew again
I am not always the best at sowing but I find it so fun to watch you make your cosplays that I keep trying. I am a kid and I like making things that are a bit smaller like bags and you make me think of new things and I think that you are absolutely incredible and inspiring, I'm so exited to see what else you make!
You dancing around in the finished skirt at the end made me laugh so hard. Also, that sneakily hidden pocket was such a good idea.
I love how it turned out, even with the satin issue. With the sheer amount of detail and materials required, having that turn out a bit off isn't a big deal, and to most people, it isn't even going to be all that noticeable.
I'm learning machine sewing on a couple of old Kenmores, and with just the one video, I've learned quite a bit (how long I retain it is another issue entirely). You explain things beautifully.
I quit cosplaying 10 years ago and never thought I could get back into it and watching your videos makes me feel like I can. Like all of these things I want to craft seem less terrifying to try and make.
The skirt(s) turned out AMAZING!!!!!! And that bow literally is so perfect omg!
Girl, this channel is so so good. I love how in depth you go with all of this both in explaining the crafting and the video editing it takes to fully illustrate your points. So well done.
Watching your videos has inspired me to start making my own cosplays. I have watched that Miku videos over and over because I plan on making one of my own. I have also been working on an illumi cosplay while watching your videos and some of them have helped me work out imperfections in my patterns so thank you. I love the content you create and please keep up the good work. You're doing amazing.
I'm watching while crocheting a black cat for my business. First video I've ever watched and I already like it here! Have a lovely day!
I love the way you explain your process and why you’ve done what you’ve done. Even how you explained the error on the ruffles was excellent (and I don’t think they look that bad). Thank you for all the work you put into the script, graphics, editing and of course the sewing ❤
Literally obsessed with your use of animation and graphics when you explain technical stuff. Im learning so much! Thank u❤
Thank you so much!
You've been one of my big inspirations to really dive headfirst into sewing. Today I watched this as I fiished my first (small) project without help from my grandma. Thank you so much for sharing your craft with all of us!
I have been watching your videos for hours and I am just so charmed by everything. You, your work, your mannerisms, the teaching moments, everything. You are such a treat to watch, I keep smiling and laughing to myself, exclaiming in amazement when I learn something new. Thank you for sharing your passion with the internet.
I absolutely love your cosplays, the fact you make them by hand is insane to me. You're such an inspiration and I can't say enough how much I look up to you!!!
I use to listen to your cosplay videos in a loop while making my own cosplays, I'm trying to do a full calne ca with just cardboard and a full meltdown rin with a mini portable sewing machine, and all I have to say it's thank you. You inspire me so much, it's heartwarming, I would really like to be as good as you one day! Thank you Sarah, or all your kind words and the always amazing works you bring to us, you may not know it, but there's always a small cosplayer like me learning how to sew with your videos, thank you.
I'm struggling to work on my cosplays right now, finding your vids has been VERY HELPFUL to motivate
Currently crocheting a full size 15th anniversary Miku cosplay for a local con, and revisiting these vids while I crochet is so inspiring. Thank you for inspiring me to cosplay!
as a teen, i tried to make my own cosplays. i had BIG plans but i was never able to finish any for myself. i always got stuck and never able to finish in time while also helping my friends for years in a row. because of that, i got so burnt out of cosplaying and cosplay making for years. watching u document ur progress though, u trying and succeeding in some and failing in others then showing how u fixed it or just coming to terms with it not being the best, but its fine? its lighting the spark back in me. the hidden pocket part got me so excited actually like my god what a GENIUS MOVE! I HATE having to lug around a bag just for my phone and wallet. i have a lot to learn, but this is reminding me of the passion i had and the things i wanted to create. so thank you so so much for recording these cosplay progress videos and uploading them!!
Pinking shears to cut notches on curves is the most genius thing I've ever heard. Your craftsmanship is incredible, thank you so much for sharing your process!
I was just recommended your channel, and can I say-- this is so great to listen to while working on my own creative projects! I'm a huge Miku stan and I really appreciate the way you applied your sewing expertise to this cosplay!! The skirt looks amazing -- time for me to binge the rest of the videos to see the final result!! 🤩✨I'm definitely going to share your channel with my mom, too-- she'll love it!! 🥰
Awesome! Thank you so much! I hope your mom likes it too haha
These really motivate me to learn sewing! And also this entire skirt looks ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS
I'm sick as I watch this but I have a big cosplay project coming up so I appreciate this as a sort of "get better faster!" video! Love the dress!
Ok I know I’m late, but I’m currently working on a bow tie made of wires for a Monika cosplay right now and it’s turning out great! Your Miku cosplay is probably one of the best cosplays I’ve seen in a while, it’s super inspiring to see how you problem solve and interpret the design❤
Right now im working on a doll that im later going to cosplay and i was watching this video while working on some concept art😊.i just want to say that you have a really calming voice and i love working on projects while watching your videos ❤
I have watched all these videos many times because they are really entertaining and i like doing things like school work , wig styling and cleaning while listening .
I have only begun sewing clothes in the last year, and I am super excited to do coz plays. And I think the ruffle looks great. Much better then anything I could do. And I only do my sewing by hand as I hate sewing machines. So just be glad you didn’t have to hand sew the whole skirt!!!!!
ive been watching your entire miku cosplay series and it’s mindblowing!!!!! your dedication and skill are literally so admirable - im a fashion major but a beginner sewer so watching these has really helped me file away some ideas for future projects that don’t feature “conventional” designs (aka huge bows!!!!) thank you sm i can’t wait to watch more!!!
the purring bobtail kitty is so cute😭baby moment HEEHOO this entire video was so informative and well put together, I'm super lowkey into cosplay and I've never made my own costume fully, but i hope to get better with time and I'll make sure to keep your channel close to refer to! you obviously know what your doing and you put so much love into it easy and fun to watch
im just wondering where was his tail 😭😭
ive been watching your videos while working on my magical tailer witch cosplay im new to sewing but you inspired me to start! Your cosplays are truly amazing!
4k subscribers 3 months ago, over 50k at this moment. Congratulations on your growth, you really deserve it!
I'm just getting into sewing (most ambitious things I've done is tailor a too-large dress down for myself, make Sylveon ribbons and ears with removable bows, and make a pose-able Leafeon tail) for cosplay, and your videos make me want to try harder and go all-out. The satin explanation was fascinating! It'll be such a big help knowing that information going forward. :)
I recently discovered your channel and I absolutely LOVE the details you put in your projects, your humor in the videos and generally your vibe and energy. I'm not a cosplayer but more of a pattern maker/designer which you also absolutely master! Keep it up, I subscribed immediately!
I definitely understand your perfectionism and being unhappy with messing something up this way. That said, this skirt looks absolutely amazing, both from front and back :) I can't imagine most of people seeing this noticing that anything is amiss - I definitely can't, even though you explained exactly what is the problem.
Great work!
I am sooo glad you gave us free patterns! I will do this cosplay for cosplay contest this month, i cant wait also wish me luck:,) Thank you so much!
Been almost a year since this was posted but I still come back to your old videos for motivation to work on my own stuff. Teasing a wig right now!
New to the channel, absolutely incredible visuals and explanations. You have no idea how much I appreciate the graphics and how different fabrics works😭 brb about to watch the rest of your vids (the fabric shopping vid was MWAH perfection)!!!
The grain directions disappearing and reappearing in time with the music was a great touch! I'm hoping your explanation helps the terms stick, as English is my second language so I sort of want to learn the same info and apply it to my two spoken languages, so if one sticks, I can try to get the second one too! And maybe show my mom so she learns too. I'll have to look at your other informational videos too, since you're so good at explaining things!
Honestly, i am so happy that you got more viewers and are growing with every video!
I sew too, not that complicated stuff like you are doing, more basic stuff like pillow cases and bags. Also i am currently working in a fabric store and i love that i can lern the english terms trough your videos, since i can use them when we habe customers who can not speak our mother tongue and communicate with me in english.
Also i did learn graphic design and i feel so big nostalgia when i see you using Illustrator and other Porgamms like that. I love watching your videos, it kinda calms me down and helps me concentrate. You are a truly inspiring person!
i suck at sowing and i dont think i coudl ever sow clothes, but watching you inspires me and makes me want to learn and make my own cosplays in the future ❤ i love ur content so much!
I may not be making any of the cosplays you make but I am learning so many new techniques from watching your videos! Thank you for all of the work you put into these, they are so wonderful!
Thanks so much! Im so happy theyre helpful :)
First Thank you Grandma!
Thank you for your videos I thoroughly enjoy them and usually learn something new at the same time!
Thank you for thanking grandma, and also Thank you! im so glad you like them :)
@@SarahSpaceman I also have a grandma that is a seamstress with lots of fun machines. Grandmas are the best!
I only sew and don’t do cosplay but to be honest I learned so much about sewing and textiles in this video rather then a lottt of sewing videos, the graphics make it so clear to understand
This is insane, I recently purchased the Miku figure and thought “good luck to anyone wanting to cosplay all that” lol
The skirt came out lovely!
I love details. The musical part of me really loves what you did to create the music staff, and with the beautiful beaded strawberries!
I packed for a big trip down south, to hang out with my partner’s family, while this video played. And I just wanna say I really love your content and have played many of your videos on repeat before because I really like them ❤
This is like my 100th rewatch and this is how I found your channel and now I’m sewing for the first time ever (a skirt) while watching the playlist!!!
Currently seam ripping my mistakes away while listening to this video. Thanks for sharing some good tips along with your Ls and Ws!
i'm a concept artist that draws magical girls and cute things in my own time, but make bloody guns during office hours qwq your videos always inspire me and give me the right amount of fluffy goodness even while working ^__^ i hope i'll be able to make cosplay again soon
This is so beautiful! (And that bow is perfection!) I'm watching this while fixing up my Cinderella costume.
Thanks so much! And best of luck on your fixing!
That skirt is epic! And in motion it's even more glorious!
I never would've figured out the satin fold tip by myself, so that's super helpful!
Thanks so much! I'm so happy with how it MOVES, and Im glad that was helpful! Its something I realized when I made my sakizou diamond, I noticed that it folded differently but i didnt know why, and only recently did I realize it was because of the weave.
Thank you so much for the tutorial. That was a lot of hard work! I'll remember that bit about satin. I don't think I've ever heard that explanation anywhere in my sewing lessons.
feeling a little called out about making things while listening considering I just stumbled across your content lmao
but you are correct, I'm in the process of designing tattoo sleeves for myself, you're chill as heck and I'm subbing now 🤟
I found your channel through this video and omg. You are so good at explaining! I'm a beginner, just doing my best to learn and then this great video gets recommended to me, I'm hooked.
Also love your humor💕
I had friends vote on a Miku for me to cosplay and this one won. Regretting all life decisions rn.
How are you so talented-
Working on my college informative speech about the simple steps of sewing a garment LOVE YOUR VIDEOS 🥰
Thats awesome! Best of luck on your speech! And thank you!
It is so heartwarming to hear her saying thank you for 4k and then seeing she's now hit 101K!
I love how you went about this project! The back really is *chefs kiss* perfection
Can’t wait to see you work through the whole thing
Thanks so much! 😊 Excited to get more of her done, more coming soon!
I absolutely fell in love with this Miku! I don’t know what it is, the strawberries, the frills, the flowers in her hair. I had to get her nendoroid. Your cosplay looks amazing!
wow, this is so amazing!!!! i came from your video at the cosplay contest, congrats!! i am in awe. all of your cosplays are so amazing and i’m def gonna put your videos in my cosplay playlist for inspo/tips!! thank you so much :) keep up the good work!!!!!🍓💕
I love seeing your process. You make me feel better about my stops and starts, and mistakes I throw away.
im listening and watching you while i clean my closet haha! i don’t do cosplay but i love listening to your videos as i do chores and stuff :)
not working on a cosplay (i'm not a cosplayer) BUT i'm watching several of your videos (the Miku x Strawberry sagaaa!!!) while crocheting some pieces. already finished the shell of a purse, a pair of socks and a scarf.
you seem like a very kind person (also hella skilled in many aspects), watching your videos is very pleasant ^^
i fixed the elastic on a pair of undies while listening to this! i love hearing your process and what you've learned. pls make more videos im binging thru them so fast!!
More are coming! They just take quite a while for me to make haha
Quick tip that you might not have thought of, with the thick layers on the ruffle below the notes, a walking foot might help save a needle or two. It is super slow compared to normal feet but it’s helped me in the past with similar issues ❤ Super cute vid as always!
I love your videos. I am a visual learner. You are a superstar. Love love this format
I discovered you through the renna cosplay (amazing ) and you've quickly become a comfort RUclipsr. You're so smart, talented and entertaining and I am so happy to have found you. I work on my own projects while your videos are on.
Okay but my biggest dream is to sew a Strawberryx Miku cosplay myself, and you inspire me so much to do so, so thank you Sarah 💗💗
I am working on my Sophia Guildmarm Cosplay from Monster Hunter. This is my first "big" sewing project and you have given me so much motivation with your videos. I constantly watch them while working on my cosplay. Thank you for these great videos!!
Subscribed not only because I love this design (and your work), but to see how you tackle the wig. But your videos are very helpful and I’m learning techniques I can apply to other costumes!
Thanks for subbing! I appreciate so much, and the wig video is coming :D
two months ago, we had FOUR THOUSAND, but now we're almost at 15k!!! I feel like i got to watch this channel grow and being an og feels pretty great! I showed my om your Kokomi cosplay a while back, and she really loves your work!! Congrats on 14.9k!!
Algorithm sempai finally noticed! But you get the biggest thanks for being an OG! Thanks so much for being here!
I just got my first sewing machine and I'm so excited to use it to make cosplays, I'm already fighting with it but this video I stopped a the ruffles and was like round two I will get a straight stich on this machine. ❤️
