Back to working on 'Death' from Arknights Endfield ^^ So far I have the dress almost done, the chest armor started, the wig and also some elf ears to use for it. Thinking about figuring out the white collar next because I have no idea what I am doing armor wise :S

Today I have been making braids for Saint Hatsune Miku 2.0. The crown will be made of braids and then wires/ethernet cables for the halo. I also brushed out the base wig to start braiding that too but debating crimping? Unsure at this stage. Also trying to figure out the rest of the banner too.

Started working on Christine V From The Five Star Stoires. I love the character designs from it and have already started Kallen as well ^^ but trying to figure out more of her as its a bit more intense. I have some lilac and white/silver fabric already that I am going to use to make Christine.

A little break from cosplay to sew a dress to go with these Baby the stars shine bright apron, bonnet and rose accessories. Paired with metamorphose socks and offbrand shoes. Really happy with how it turned out.

Getting back to Butchered Saint and have some more idea on how to do things. Going to do 3d ribs like the red, but in white with red background. White like the white and gold ones. Also need to re sand and fill the mask and figure more of it out like how to attach the wings.

Thinking I might finish this up for Oz Comic Con. Want to keep adding a ton more beads. Really hoping it doesn't get really hot between now and then...it probably will. But yeah yay silly Yubaba from Spirited Away cosplay haha I still have the 3 heads as a handbag, but also want to make her drink.

I haven't been doing as much cosplay crafting as I have been doing some fashion crafting instead for a Gyaru Shoot this weekend. I have more accessories to wear too :D like nails and bracelets and rings ^^The bow on my chest has little hearts on it too ^^ very happy with how its turned out.

Milk and Threads @milkandthreads.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

Sewing something a bit different tonight. I have been working on this dress ^^ its for a fashion shoot next weekend. I am pretty happy with how it is turning out. The pink lace is for the bottom hem which I will add a split too and actually hem up. I am unsure what to do with my legs/shoes ideas.

Milk and Threads @milkandthreads.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

Milk and Threads @milkandthreads.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Drew up the artwork I want for desamparados's back painting. Went with a promo art piece for Blasphemous featuring the penitent one and the best looking cherubs...they make me laugh but also make me so uncomfy hahaha the artwork is called Respawn and is by Juan Miguel López Barea (artstation)

Some more photography of my version one Saint Miku by shutter_light_photography (insta). I am currently working on upgrades for her ^^ Want to make a crown out of wig hair and the halo will be wires. Also changing the dress a bit and redoing the belt to make it sit nicer.

Milk and Threads @milkandthreads.bsky.social · 21/06/2026

Ok so did her hands. Need to do the sleeve cuffs and finish filling in the black and this part of the banner will be done for Saint Miku. I am still designing the rest of the banner :S trying to figure out 100% what I want it to look like.

Milk and Threads @milkandthreads.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

Gold work part on this section done :D now to continue with the embroidery. Need to figure her hands out next but might do some more filling in of the black first for a relaxing night.

More Progress on the obi tail for Hatsune Miku cosplay I am working on. Now to embroider the linning and then do the other side. The yellow musical notes and the records will go on once I figure out how it will all sit. Really happy so far :D

Milk and Threads @milkandthreads.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

Ok progress from last night and today so far for Arknights Endfield: Ereignis. I found my wig and started on the chest armor. Added some foam clay to the seams to hopefully smooth it out more after a sand when it all sets. Pretty happy with my effort so far.

Milk and Threads @milkandthreads.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

Doing some math so far I have used 6 skeins of embroidery floss so that's 48m and I have done 56cm. :S going to need a lot more thread hahahaha. I also have been dividing up each thread lot into 3 lots. So a lot of meters of embroidery so far, feeling really good about it at the moment.

Milk and Threads @milkandthreads.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

Milk and Threads @milkandthreads.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

My wig turned up today ^^ also been working on the opening and fake eyelets for the apron. Really hoping it comes together nicely

020

Milk and Threads @milkandthreads.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

The first mock up for the kimono is going well. Need to fix the collar on the next one and make the sleeves a bit longer as they will be tied back to match the Miku artwork I am working from. Really happy the math's and tutorial watching/reading was worth it ^^

030

Milk and Threads @milkandthreads.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

Apron coming along today ^^ Need to figure out the eyelets, thinking about doing faced holes and then foam details for the eyelets. But will have another look online for large eyelets but leaning towards just using supplies I already have.

Milk and Threads @milkandthreads.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

Happy with the pouch I have made and getting happier with the second attempt at the apron haha. This is for the Smile X Future Ver. Hatsune Miku I have started working on. Really enjoying doing all the running stitch details ^^ think it looks cute too.

So thinking about things I want to upgrade for next time I do Saint MIku and like how I want the design of things to start shaping up. I really love the dramatic waist in this Dior 2000s outfit seen at the heavenly bodies exhibition. Been staring at pope shoes haha and still loving this saint image.

Woke up feeling shit emotionally today, been trying to focus on other things like cosplay but cancelled on a friends party tonight. Just can't face other people or leaving my home. Feels to scary but in doing that I now feel even more alone and sad. :/ stupid emotions.

Milk and Threads @milkandthreads.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

Trying to use some things I already own though dont think I have any white fabric that would work for the dress but will go through some stuff soon.

Tried putting all my ideas for Yubaba's beaded bathrobe into Milanote and it was really fun to make the mood board instead of just having a folder of all my images.

Milk and Threads @milkandthreads.bsky.social · 16/03/2026

Still thinking about making SP Yamalord Enma from Onmyoji ....I think I might have the skills to finally finish what I have started....but we will see hahaha

Debating making a Scarah Screams outfit and sooooo in love with this design and the velvet and embroidery and all the little details.....so she is getting added to the list even though face paint scares me so much hahaha and looking at different body stocking options

Milk and Threads @milkandthreads.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Back to trying to figure out more of the butchered saint from trench crusade. Figured I am enjoying beading and I have a ton of red beads so why not make her dripping blood out of beads.

Milk and Threads @milkandthreads.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Did some fun photographs with tegmariee(insta) the other day ^^ Was fun to be Jeanne for it with all the pink. I am so happy with how they came out. #bayonetta3 #jeanne

I'm so excited I got the Madsfive, Doom Slayer's chestplate and pauldrons patterns. So have started on that this evening. I am mainly trying to focus on getting the fit correct at this stage. I am hoping through creating this costume I will become more skilled at foam work. Trying to take it slow.

Milk and Threads @milkandthreads.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

Working on the spider web again today and did a little of the next row. Its hard to capture how pretty the beads are in real life :( so vibrant and shiney hahaha. Also have almost got the first lot of bells correct :D
