Sailor Scout Fuku: Update #5

Howdy everyone!  This past month has been an interesting one for me, but guess what...I was able to work on something!  My hand sort of hurts after working with it, but I suppose that was bound to happen.  I finished creating one of the pair of boots I need to make the Sailor Moon outfit!  Well sort of finished, I still need to add the moons to the top of the boots, but I think I say they are pretty much done!


I am not sure if I mentioned before, but I used this boot pattern for them and to be honest I think they turned out quite for never having used pleather before.  They velcro in the back and fit quite well on the dolls foot.  I wouldn't suggest wearing socks with the boots though, I tried and they weren't quite big enough.  If you happen to make them bigger, I don't see why not though.  

I did have a cut a new piece of pleather for one of the stripes I believe.  I got frustrated and let me tell you going slow and steady is everything with this stuff.  The small stitches help everything hold together better too.

I thought using the hot glue would cause the pleather to melt, but it seemed fine.  I don't have that hot of a glue gun, that could be why, but I was happy that it didn't.

I think that is all from me today, I really want to start on Sailor Chibi Moon's outfit, but I'm having thoughts of restarting Sailor Moon's now.  It looks fine, it's just really tight on the doll.  Oh wells, I have to improve and all that jazz.  So until next time, have a wonderday!


P.S. The store Hobby Lobby just opened right down the road from us.  I haven't had the chance to pop in yet, but we now have a JoAnns, Michaels and Hobby Lobby all within walking distance from one another.  Let the battle of craft stores begin!

P.S.S.  I realized I forgot to share that since JoAnns got some Doctor Who fabric I was able to make some pajama pants for myself and I had enough left over fabric to make some for my doll.  I'll try to remember to take a pick and show you because I love them!  That's all for now, TTFN!
