The end trailer is top tier, I’ve never been more hyped for a dress
Haha thanks so much! I hope its ends up as hype as I made it out to be
S
i love how creative and chaotic this is lmao
Haha Thank you!
Using a popping out umbrella is such a cute idea !! And the whole craftsmanship from the choice of the fabrics to those clips of you and the umbrella are just awesome !! Such a great and clean video like always 💕 (that trailer definitely hyped me tho, the footage were so promising 👀)
Aww! thanks so much!
In general the best thing in life is just walking around a convention and POPPING out a jellyfish, it sounds perfect
9:46 predicting Bongo-Head several versions early. 😂 Amazing work on the whole cosplay, I know it's an older video now, but I've just watched the whole series on Kokomi and really enjoyed it.
Lmao I thought of bongo head too xD
When I was a kid, I wanted to go as a jellyfish for Halloween. And we used taken apart loofahs from the dollar store as the tendrils, which worked really, really well.
9:33 I don't think a lot of people realise just how important this is. Thank you for putting it into words!
I'm way old, not into cosplay, and somehow ended up on your channel and love it. I'm fascinated by your sewing techniques (and I don't sew either). The jellyfish reminded me of Strawberry Shortcake character hats. Like I said, I'm old.
am so happy when someone cosplayed as kokomi bcz its really rare to see kokomi cosplayer for me
2:24 you saved me if I ever plan to make/buy a kokomi cosplay
This is bringing back some memories as to my current UFO of my Princess Jellyfish cosplay in which it looks just like a moon jellyfish with pearls and frills and fringe to create the look of a jellyfish on the skirt portions with fringed ruffles on the organza petticoat. I got as far as the skirt and the bodice is still in pieces and thank the cosplay gods its a corset back since I doubt it will fit if its a zipper back.
Ahh! That'll be so so pretty!
11:36 omg gorou and kokomi looks so cute tgttt
When you were looking for the seam ripper, I was pointing and saying, "It's right there!" You didn't see it because it was hiding behind your sewing machine
I discovered you channel today and I've been binge witching.
This may have been 1 year ago but it reminded me of when I was in a ballet performance of the Little Mermaid. They made us jellyfish umbrellas but alot simpler. Thank you for activating this memory with my favorite game
It's separated its half umbrella and jelly fish at the bottom
Every single time I watch your videos I am shocked by the quality in the editing and the useful information and graphics. I have no fucking clue why you don't have more views tysm for this amazing content 💕💕💕✨️✨️✨️
Aww Tysm! It takes a long time to grow on youtube, but even if they help a small amount of people, its worth it to make them :)
Thank you for talking about the stiff net. I didn't know there was an actual mesh fabric that was stiff like that. I knew about artificial horsehair fabric and tulle, but didn't know about stiff net. Now I know the name of what I am looking for when I make my poofy underskirt.
Normally I watch you when im making cosplay myself, but today I’m learning to rollerskate!
The cosplay Speedrun gag was hilarious 😂
Du du du du 😂
The mushroom hat is giving ✨sea ganoderma cosplay✨ 😂😂
0:58 lol I love how the seam ripper is right next to her
Incredible work as always!!!!! And I can't wait to see your take on the strawberry dress
I’ve avoided the strawberry dress hype for years, but now- in the year of our betta fish goddess Kokomi 2024- I’ve found Sarah and my hype for the strawberry dress 😂
But seriously, this cosplay is amazing and I can’t wait to get my cosplay sea-legs, maybe a serger or a cut & sew foot, and try more complicated projects like this!
Love Kokomi and love the jellyfish parasol idea 😍
... That circle cutting technique is actually going to change my life Q _ Q
Ahh thank you so much for this tutorial! I’ve been trying to figure out how to make a jellyfish prop for Kokomi and this is perfect!🤧
I’ve followed you for Ages on Instagram but have only just now discovered your youtube and i have to say i Love your videos. Your detailed explanations, video quality, and all around creation of them scratch my brain in the absolute best way and I don’t think I’ve felt this way about cosplay videos since Mangosirene’s cosplay work logs. :’^) i hope you continue to do what yr doing bcause this is just excellent
Omg. this is going to be great for a possible future cosplay of a different character
Yay! Honestly I love that this project could be done for so many different reasons.
@@SarahSpaceman the character i plan on cosplaying eventually is Haiyi! There’s this one official art of her with a jellyfish parasol, and I think she’d look adorable with it, regardless of which design of hers I’m using
This just makes me want kokomi even more
strawberry short cake!!! thats a interesting look ... loving the jelly fish
this would be even cooler if you'd put some fairy lights into the jellyfish but it already looks so epic!!!!
When you put it on as a hat I got serious Strawberry Shortcake Blueberry Muffin vibes!
Damn you, I was avoiding the Genshin hole! Now I need to cosplay this
Thank you so much for this. Wanna do Kokomi soon and thought about making an umbrella like this too. Your explanations will help so much 💖💖💖
The best thing is just casually releasing jellyfish for pictures anx the small gasps behind the camera like omg yess it's so cute
That would be such an ego boost
This is so cool! I love how it turned out! I also loved watching the playing of OSRS in the background at points. 😂😂
Legit he turned out adorible:D the dress also turned out super awesome:3.
the jellyfish umbrella aesthetic is a timeless classic and i love how this one looks! organza is just so pretty it's such a shame how easily it frays. your videos are really making me want to get back into sewing for real!!! this one jogged my memory enough to make me remember i actually have my grandmothers serger, so next time im at my parents place i might go ham.
i think i remember you mentioning in some other video that you watch?watched? drag race, and i'm wondering who your favorite queens are. mostly bc this video thumbnail reminded me of yvie oddly who is actually my favorite lmao
Love this whole cosplay and your videos on it!! Super impressive work! It's incredible to see a person tackling such a complicated design and thus I hope you do more genshin characters in the future, cause it's just so fun and interesting to see how you problem solve and make things happen!
this series singlehandedly made me want to pull for kokomi
aaaaAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH THAT'S SO SICK I'd be popping it all the time too it seems fun 😆 amazing work as always !!!!!
Oh my goodness! I absolutely love it! Dang this makes me want to make one I absolutely love jellyfish it’s so cute and adorable! 😍💕❤️ you did such an amazing job making this
This has inspired me to start cosplaying!
Love!!! This game out so well!!
Obsessed with you skinning the umbrella 🤣🤣
When you were wearing the jelly as a hat it was giving strawberry shortcake !!
You can also adjust the settings on your serger to ruffle the fabric. Highly recommend getting a book on how to use a serger.
Another great one!!
This was my favorite one yet :)
Love the Jellyfish!!!!
It is sooo cute!!!!!!
You're so creative!! Merry Christmas:D
Love all the shots of u popping open your jellyfish!
omg i remember seeing you at Holmat and freaking out! It's awesome to see your video here 💜💙💗
It's the cutest thing!! love the ending part so muchhh 😂
Thank you!
Omg this is so cute!
Looks like a lot of fun!
I have been binging your channel and learning so much! the speedrun times were so funny, i think you PRd!
I was too shy to come up and say i hi to you bsck then at the con i loved ypur kokomi you were so pretty and i couldnt stop looking at the jellyfish me and my friends were gushing over it!
Gosh I love your videos so much
I learned more about maths in this video than I did in high school
Ive probably learned more math for cosplay than I ever did in school too haha
I got an ad for Genshin on this video! I am also just literally in love with the jelly fish! It turned out so good!!!
You have saved me a great deal of time in sewing with the Circle hack.
*saves to watch later for my own purposes bc this was just a tutorial in sewing* THANK YOUUUUUUUUUU
ok, so the reports of the balloons or whatever they've been shooting down lately. They keep talking about it having 8 legs and its like nothing they've seen before. And I couldn't help but imagine some sitcom-worthy cosplay experiment that ended with your lovely jellyfish serenely floating away into the wild blue yonder ..... only to be shot down over Montana. Something about that image, its perfection 🤣. Love your work and had to share 😉❤️
How cute!!!
My school has clubs and In the sewing club we made some plushies!
This is amazing
And goodluck with all the bedding for the strawberry dress!!!!! omg
Ahaha thank you! ive got like 20 left 🤣
Pretty!
That's so cute I would make/buy one if I could
Yar mother must be so proud 👏
it was so cute :)
I never heard of the tension method for ruffling. That's so interesting!
It's my go to way because its just so quick haha.
9:59 It's the Nihilego Ultra Beast Pokemon!!!
They made a hat version in Pokemon Go too!
^_^ Looks awesome!
I would like you to know that the words “mycelium princess” have lit a fire in my brain
That was pretty
Underrated
Omggg so cool you went there. My boyfriend does valet thereeeee.❤
9:56 honestly this could be a great idea for a bongo-head type of fungus in genshin as a cosplay, probably based on a fanart
I met you at HolMat last year!!! I was the Kokomi in the Jellyfish dress!!!!
I remember you! I loved your Kokomi! You were so cute!
Hello~ I know that this video is three moths old, but I can’t stop wondering how long did it take you to make the all cosplay, I want to try to make it for an upcoming event but I don’t know how long it can take me. It’s amazing the final result it’s so pretty, I love the way you explained it so well, you are so nice and lovely.🥰💕💞
She took me about two months 😄 and thanks so much!
Random hack: sergers are super expensive (like $1000). But you can get a really nice general sewing machine for the same price or less that has an overlock stitch and foot. It's not quite as fast as a serger and it won't cut the fabric for you. But I've used mine to death and I only need to have one machine.
Your seam ripper was behind your sewing machine the whole time😂
OH MY GOODNESS THAT OUTRO! I love your videos!
Thanks! And haha ive been binge watching yours beading all these strawberrys 😂
@@SarahSpaceman aww you're so kind! I'm so excited to see your take on the Strawberry gown!
This could also be great for an elden ring cosplay if you want to make the jellyfish summon
1:03 i will alwys think "THE SEAM RIPPER IS BEHIND THE SEWING MACHINE" every time I watch this video
very cool i want one
YESSSS KOKOMI I LOVE HER SM I MAIN HER AND RAIDEN AND I REALLY WANT TO COSPLAY HER lol
7:32 oh hi Mona!
I was getting strawberry shortcake vibes from the hat idea XD
That poor defenseless jellyfish. I know it was tired when you were done with the Holiday Matsuri. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Suuuuch a cute jelly
Well now i really wanna make some kind of custom umbrella
*This video made me want to learn how to sew..*
The option of the Surger is like getting a drawing tablet with screen XD
I feel like you could make the jellyfish umbrella ☔️ a trend as big as felted hats - y’know what it needs?? LED LIGHTS! You can make shroombrellas, too! And glow-in-the-dark ones and waterproof 💦 TOO!! I want this so much I might have to make one, if that’s okay with you (not for a con and it doesn’t have to be like yours, of course)
There are overlock stitching feet for sewing machines. Seamstressed reviewed one in her series: keep or yeet. I’ve bought one but haven’t been able to use it yet (migraines are awesome 😒)
That is so cuuuute! And uhhhh can’t wait for your video on strawberry dress 😍
OMG💖💖💖
Yeah, here (UK) I've only heard them called overlockers (w/o the "machine" part)
LOL I SAW THE SEAM RIPPER NEXT TO THE BIG SISSORS
Want to try with mushroom concept... wish me luck
