Construction process of the animated spider legs for a collar. What started as a fun idea turned into an insane mechanical design and it's crazy how well Kem managed to make this happen! #animatronics #animated #bespoke #coutoure #costumemaker #cosplaymaker #wip #costumewip #elfia2025 #blackwidow

The sleeves for the Black Widow have been a journey the past days. hit follow if you like this project or bespoke costumes, cosplay. for you: tools & sewing- crafting patterns. #bespoke #coutoure #costumemaker #cosplaymaker #corset #wip #costumewip #corsetry #seamstress #elfia2025 #blackwidow

Aside from the 4 sleeves patterns & mock-ups I've prepared the international structure of the vest, and added some floating canvas by hand. This is shown on the last picture with the X shaped catch stitch. Everything without a seam allowance on the vest is secured this way. I still need to prepare the sleeves, but I'm already looking forward to sewing everything together.

The sleeves for the Black Widow costume have been a journey the past days, to the point I just started cutting minor alterations while wearing the garment pinned.
But how much I already like this shape, how slim the back and waist fall

added some floating canvas by hand. This is shown on the last picture with the X shaped catch stitch.

I'm so hyped, the Black Widow corset fits so well and feels so comfy. Funny fact: there is 6m steel boning of verious widths and typed in this corset. #coutoure #bespoke #corset #corsetmaker #costumemaker #cosplaymaker #corsetfashion #fantasycouture #fantasycostume #dressupdarling

I've been finishing the edges of the corset by hand sewing them on the inside. Here is a timelapse of 1 hour of sewing in one minute. This is just one of the 4 sides and it takes up a lot of time, but whoww what is the result worth it. #bespoke #handsewing #coutoure #corset #instadaily #wip

Yes, you don't want the steel to damage your fabric and poke through over time.

Here is the finished top of one half of the corset, with the inside handsewn in place. I've altered the top line of the corset multiple times, sewed in some boning, and made bias tape from the bridal silk. #corsetry #corset #bespoke #sewing #seamstress #wip #costume #details #cosplaymaker #maker

Robe reveal! I started it in late 2023, assembled the patchwork & lining, & shelved it in Spring 2024. Picked it back up a couple weeks ago & added the red trims. It made a *slight* dent in my scrap stash 😅 #lotr #thehobbit #sewing #patchwork #scrabuster #stashbuster #cosplaymaker

some real time embroidery! I’m distinctly neater on the second side which is kind of annoying but that’s how it goes. Hopefully the difference won’t be too visible to anyone but me!

The corset for the "Black Widow" is ready for a test fitting, I'm super excited and tired as well. I can't wait to fit it. It's currently boneless aside from the busk. #corset #corsetmaking #corsetmaker #corsetwip #sewingwip #cosplaymaker #seamstress #wip #maker #bespoke #couture

Here I use a hole cutter to make holes, later I switch the dies with eyelet dies and install the eyelets in the back panel of the corset. #corsetmaking #corsetmaker #eyelets #corsetry #sewingwip #sewingtools #workshoptools #bespoke #cosplaymaker

Proof that working the problem can get you to a decent fit. Left side is the newly improved fit of the @redthreaded.bsky.social 1860s corset pattern. No longer too big or with my bust wandering sideways. #corsetry #cosplaymaker #historicalcorset

I finally found the energy to do a test fitting for the corset. I will do the left hip panel, the other option isn't feeling great with a waist reducing corset. #elfia #elfia2025 #corset #bespoke #originalcharacter #blackwidow #corsetconstruction #corsetmaker #cosplaymaker

Went to the Gundam TCG pre-release today. And had a blast. I've been playing MTG on and off since 2003 and tbh the amount text on their cards kinda lost me. This is more friendly to play and the art is amazing. Could not resist taking this adorable MTG pin with me. #gundamtcg

Pre release of the gundam card game in the Netherlands at side7

The box looks almost mecha heavenly, it's pretty hard to see through the milky cover. None the less like the cards themselves well made.
Kinda been missing this.

Isn't this adorkable 😻
After 20 years of playing I got myself a pin

This was a really fun day in Germany with an old friend. Due to illness I haven't done a photoshoot for 6 years, and it was fun my last one was with the same photographer as this shoot. We went to landschafts park with a casual outfit and we had a blast.

Sadly my dad passed away after this shoot was done, making this photo a nice memory since we both liked photography.

I'm looking forward to meeting you again when my shitshow is over.
