  • Learn how to make a Sailor Moon Costume! I will list all the materials down below. For more pictures, follow me on Instagram & Facebook :)
    The sewing machine I use is a Juki-HZL from www.SewingMachinesPlus.com, the direct link to it is:
    www.sewingmachi...
    Extra Materials:
    1 yard Red fabric for the bows
    1 foam sheet for the Tiara
    1 heart magnet from Walmart
    Spray Paint - Krylon Red Glossy and White Glossy (I forgot to mention that if you spray paint the boots, they will chip. But it does the job for a costume.)
    Stuffing
    White Shoulder Pads from Joanns
    White gloves from Savers
    Velcro - for the back bow, and necklace
    Background Music by Erik Moua

      Dunno if anyone gives a damn but if you're bored like me atm then you can stream all of the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. Been binge watching with my girlfriend for the last couple of months xD

    There is a type of spray paint made for leather that won't crack...it's called Meltonian Nu-life color spray and it comes in a ton of different colors. It works great, too.

      sweet! thanks for the tip!!! :D

    • @CireneOpenMinded

      Cool👍🏼 also , another alternative would be acrylic or ,even better, fabric paint 😊luv this tutorial❤️❤️❤️

    @syltwee 8 ปีที่แล้ว +65

    THIS IS SO MUCH EASIER THAN EVERYONE ALWAYS WANTS TO MAKE IT! The bow method and the shoulder pads are genius.

    • @syltwee
      @syltwee 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      My only problem is that the blue and red fabrics looked VERY cheap and costumey, not really professional fabrics. It makes it look like less effort was put into it, and we can see that you actually did put a lot of effort in.

    Happy 10th episode of Thrifted Transformations! I got so many requests to do a Sailor Moon costume, so challenge accepted! What Thrifted Transformations do you want to see next? More costumes or Fall/Winter clothing? Please let me know :) ALSO I FORGOT TO MENTION in the video that after you spray paint the boots, some of the color will chip off but I think its totally fine for a costume. If you want to actually wear the boots long term, I don't recommend doing what I did lol. Again, thank you so much for watching! For all the extra materials I used, check the description box

    amazing!!! I am working on a gender bender sailor mercury cosplay and I will definitely reference your video for making the sailor fuku top. I am a novice when it comes to sewing and will unfortunately hand stitch everything so hopefully I can get it done in time for the convention. Your tutorial is much easier to follow than others I've looked up. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge! I can only hope my finished product will look as great as yours!
