View on DeviantArt

Hey guys~! I put this little guide together for anyone interested in making their own uniform from Love Live! School Idol Project :D! I designed the fabric for the skirts, but since I designed it for a very specific size pleat so I wanted to make a guide to go along with the fabric  ~ 

The fabric for the skirt is available for purchase on spoonflower.com~! 

I will also be putting up a bow tutorial (eventually =w=; ) but in the meantime, if you're interested in purchasing a pre-made one I have them available in my store~!

I realize this is a pretty niche tutorial, but I just really wanna spread the aidoru love to my fellow Love Live fans ~ I seriously love this series sooooo much ;w;!! I hope this is helpful, and have fun cosplaying <3!! Maybe we can even get pics together ~ LOVE LIVES ;w;

The Making of the Sailor Moon MBTI Chart

~* View the Sailor Moon MBTI Chart post here! *~ I've had a few people ask about this, so I figured I'd share my thoughts in case anyone wants to try to make their own fan MBTI chart or just wants to know the thought process that went into making it~! :3 I started by taking the basic test for each of the characters to get an initial placement (http://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test-short-version). At that point there were some duplicates, so I read through each of the type descriptions to see how well each of the characters fit. If the description on a duplicate character didn't sound quite right, I looked into other options for them. If there were two characters that fit a type well, I kept the one that fit -best- in that spot and moved the second character to another fitting spot. It actually took a few days of debating to get each character into a spot that I felt suited them. Obviously the test isn't perfect; with 16 characters and 16 types, realistically there is going to be some type overlap. But even real-life people can test differently on different days or over time, depending on whats going on in their lives or even their mood that day!! And for the sake of a fun chart everyone could enjoy, I didn't want to leave any one type out. To justify my placement of each character, I highlighted the traits of the their selected type in the description on the chart, to validate that they would indeed fit in that spot at least some of the time!! That said, I'm not a MBTI expert or psychologist... just a huge Sailor Moon fan <3. This chart is all fun and speculation; unfortunately I couldn't get any of the real Sailor Senshi pinned down long enough to take the test for me themselves, so for now it'll have to be all based on my humble fan opinion ;3. Regardless, I hope you all enjoy it!! <3

♥ Sailor Moon Myers Briggs Personality Chart ♥

*~ High Res Version Here ~*

I've always found the Myers Briggs Personality test fascinating ~ recently I've seen a couple fandom MBTI charts circulating through social media and wondered to myself what a Sailor Moon chart would look like..!  So which Sailor Moon character are you? If you don't know your type, you can take the MBTI Personality Test on www.16personalities.com!! I'm an INFJ :3 Anyways, I hope you guys have fun with this!! And note: I'm not an MBTI expert or psychologist, just a huge Sailor Moon fan <3. Enjoy!!

This is one of the projects we’ve been working on.  It’s an actual cosplay-sized pen! The gold cap comes off, and the ink is replaceable.

Since these take a long time to make, whether or not we go forward and make some of these pens depends on how much interest there is.  So reblog and share if you want to see more of these! ♥
