Debut:<\/strong> San Japan 2016<\/p>\n\n\n\nI needed a costume that would be easy for me to get into and move around in to wear at San Japan for judging. Pokemon Go was at it’s peak of popularity and the allure of a costume that didn’t require a wig to wear during a 6 hour judging block was too strong to resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For this costume I used a combination of fully constructed and altered purchased pieces. I made the jacket and jumper from scratch and altered a pair of leggings, hat and shoes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I used a commercial pattern as the base for the jumper and created a mock up in stretch material. I then used this mock up to draw on all of my seamlines and accent elements. When I took it apart I had my base pattern. I wanted all of the accents to be set in as opposed to appliqued on.I used a blue scuba as the base and blue ultrapreme for the accents around the chest and sides. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The jacket also started with a commercial pattern for a sweatshirt. I just cropped the arms and torso. It was made with white sweatshirt fleece and red knit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
