I wish I'd seen this when I was working on my Yoko cosplay. I'll definitely be using this as a reference in the future when I go for a second attempt though~

You think you could make a tutorial on how to make the rifle? I can't find a good tutorial on how to make a three-dimensional one and not a cardboard version...

It's not a tutorial per se, but I do have an album on Imgur that tracks my progress. I eyeballed a lot of things on it, so the math is sort of lost to the ages. XD It was the first prop I ever made, so I wasn't expecting it to come out lasting strong after 6 cons, otherwise I might have taken more care to make it into a tutorial type thing!
Here's the album with some brief info on each photo: [link]

question. where in the actual hell does one find bikini cord? Jo-ann's nor michaels had it.
fabulous tutorial, it only took me a couple tries to get the bikini together. :>

I got mine from an actual bikini (an American flag bikini, to be precise) but there are also ways to make it using a loop turning tool and some red spandex/milliskin/tricot, etc. I've not yet attempted to make any such cord, but now I know how they do that seamless look! :3

No problem! Yeah, I had to use a plain red cord, sort of like soutache braid when I first did Yoko, but the darn thing was super uncomfortable and would not stay tied. But once you do run into something that works, it's easy enough to replace. ^_^

omg paint
For so long I couldn't figure out how people got the perfect flames because the ones I like never look sewn on. It was paint. I feel so dumb.
But now I know. This is great!

Excellent tutorial! If I ever get my body into cosplay-able shape, I'd love to do this.

I'll have to consider doing one on the shorts, but I think the reason that there are so many "bad" ones is that they're so challenging, and for a reason! XD People have different shapes, but probably no area more than the pelvis region, especially on ladies. I have deduced that that is probably why it is darn near impossible to find a pattern for small shorts, especially one as tiny as Yoko's!
Though, I think the best methods (for beginners) would be to find leggings or cheap bike shorts and cut them to Yoko's size. One could either use that, finishing the seams of course, or take them apart and actually use it as a pattern to make their own in a nice material. Another way to go about it is to get a pattern for swim suits/bikinis, one that has bottoms and alter the bottom to have more of a short shape. :3
