Inspiration: Ai is such a sweet character...
Favorite Aspect: I like the boot covers. Patterns were hand made and altered from other patterns.. the first time I really tried doing that on a large scale Also, the fact that I get to wear this overjoys me because ... I worked really hard on it!
Least Favorite Aspect: Meh.. I would have made the obi one piece instead of two.
Also, I don't feel like this character gets enough attention, it's a very good costume (in my opinion) but lots of people don't seem to be interested.
Easiest Task: Making the tassels!
Hardest Task: Putting sweatshirt sleeves on a kimono pattern..>_< Getting hair to do those swirrlies, which I never accomplished.
