so i want to make this outfit
but i cant find the fabric with the leaves on it
should i draw the leaves on with fabric markers
or should i sew the leaves on?
or is there yet another option that i hadnt thought of?
Silkscreening!
But, if you're interested in a simpler approach, you could just make a stencil and paint them on. I'm not sure exactly what sort of clothing that is, but the informal look would make applique seem out of place.
I would use fabric markers or fabric paint to make the leaf pattern. That isn't the lining for the kimono, is it? Would you have to do a lot of marking? Stencils or if you can fashion something like a sponge in that outline (not a sponge, but like a stamp where you have the imprint, dip or brush it with fabric paint and then stamp the design on the material).
yay, you're cosplaying as Tenma-kun! There was talk of a Shojo-Beat gathering but I don't see it on the official Cosplay Gatherings list so I don't know if it's still on. But I'll be sure to keep an eye out for you! :D
i would say fabric marker jsut cause aplique would take a long time and also fabric paint would get crunchy and uncomfortable
atleast i think so
i say no to applique. because it's clearly not 3D. silkscreening, if you can do it, otherwise make a stencil and use that fabric paint spray thing you can get at jo-ann's. then you can do the gradient smoother. otherwise, you can paint it by hand.
OR (i just thought of this) you can put the fabric paint on a tray in the way it's gradiented (is that a word??) and get a leaf-shaped sponge and STAMP the leaves on the fabric...hmmmm
