the front flannel was a pain. the clouds were a pain. see how they crumple up after i've sewed them on? i used my grease paper to set the patterns, then sew over the paper and tore it out. it works pretty well, but it got stuck when i did the outlines. still, it's so much cheaper than the vaseline paper...








and then i've to add the yellow and red extensions at the sides after i've taken more snapshots from the anime.





and the back is neater with a huge red flap. luckily i was forced to buy a metre of this cloth.





added a drawstring ribbon to tie it around my waist easily.





having done this, i went on to sew extra buttons for my top, the obi and fixed all the ugly parts behind the gold strips and inside the top... also added strongs to tie my headgear.





and i realised i was quite done. so i'm left with the ball-y. and i got this rubber ball-y which lights up when you bounce it.





ain't it cute. well i tried to spray paint it but it flaked off after i squeezed it. so oh well. gotta find another ball, or another way.
