# About me

Hello there! You may call me Cal!

I'm a full time web producer, developer, and designer by day, and cosplayer, singer and musical theatre actress by night!

I love to sew. Especially cosplays and costumes. More recently, I have got into steampunk and period clothing.

Since 2010, I have been regularly cosplaying, so a part of my gallery is devoted to my cosplays and costumes. Please visit and like my costumery page on Facebook, for more detailed breakdowns and work-in-progress shots of my costumes!

I was wondering about the Till Lindemann plush you did, I want to purchase but I saw that the last post on it was from like two years ago so I figured I should look you up. I am very serious in purchasing one or could you show me the tutorial you used for it? My fiancé would flip with love and I really want to get her this. Please contact me back either on here, or billay69@gmail.com

Whadaya think? Shall I make a commish based on this lovely Chinese ensemble?

I might add a skirt over all that tulle for my version, making it more 50s like. I might make it brighter red too. ^^

tanmei In reply to planxtafroggie [2011-07-29 11:23:31 +0000 UTC]

Wow - that's really pretty! The top is lovely. I think you should if you've got the time and money to spend on the project. I'd certainly sew more if I wasn't working and studying part time...

I must say I agree on the skirt, the tulle is nice. Perhaps even an overskirt gathered up to one side to show some of the tulle underneath?

planxtafroggie In reply to tanmei [2011-07-29 13:28:40 +0000 UTC]

It's just going to be a drawing, no sewing. XD

I'll consider gathering up one side of the skirt though. I might even add a large ribbon to accent the gathered part. ^^

tanmei In reply to planxtafroggie [2011-08-01 10:02:18 +0000 UTC]

It'll be great when it's done!

I look forward to it. And if I had more time and money I would consider sewing your design if that was alright with you :) (Smile)

planxtafroggie In reply to tanmei [2011-08-01 14:33:19 +0000 UTC]

That's great! But let me draw it, paint it on my paint program and then upload it first so you can see. Like my last dress design which was based on an older one it may be a different color. XD
