I actually have been using Milanote for cosplay for a few weeks now LOL. It is actually incredibly useful. I had been seeing so many RU-vidrs sponsored by it, and I finally caved out of curiosity. Even tho it is meant for like website design & other tech fields I found it works for my other creative processes like art & cosplay. You can copy and paste any pic or upload your own pics to it. The reason I use it is bc cosplay planner apps only exist on my phone, and I like to have something I can interact with on PC/desktop. So I can use it while I'm at work & not get distracted by my phone. I like to use it for color picking bc it **automatically** detects color from your reference image. I then copy & paste fabrics and see how closely they line up with the reference! The mobile version is not as good, but it is easy to take with me on fabric store trips. So far I have been able to use the app to help me pick out fabrics from joann's. It also has to-do lists & you can add links to different patterns, tutorials, & references for you to view later. I use it so much that I actually ran out of the free space RIP
I disagree! Sleeves are the devil's work because of the fit and 360° mobility. Pants only have to go in a certain direction. Therefore much much easier to fit. If you can sew sleeves that you can flail your arms around in you can do pants. I promise. I've been sewing for over 10 years and make all my daily wear clothes (clothes that HAVE to move).😉
You forgot the coolest part of teto which is that she’s a BAT CHIMERA AND AND THEREFORE GETS BAT WINGS AND SHE CAN ACTUALLY DRILL WITH HER HAIR! teto best girl, such an icon
For those who don't have a serger!! CHECK YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY!!! I live in SoCal so maybe this is a privilege for us buuut a few libraries in my county have sergers available to rent for a few hours a day! FOR FREE!!!! Its been a life saver, plus simply by using the resources the library has to offer the state will give them more funding year over year. God i love the library
yessss! years ago before i got my own sewing machine, my local library was a lifesaver for me! i was there every week working on projects! (however I too am from SoCal so i am interested to see if libraries in other places have sewing machines and sergers too)
YES THIS!! If your library has a makerspace they either have a machine or you can talk to the makerspace librarian about getting one (definitely not a library worker here pls go to the library its free and theres so much cool shit you can access)
Teto was an April fools joke made by LOTS of people on 2chan. People would create outfits and concepts of what she should look like on 2chan, the people credited in the wiki just created the final touches. And then she was set for April fools, but people took her seriously, and now we're here. The redesign having her wear military styled clothing is probably a reference to some of the original concept ideas people had created for her since multiple people created concepts of her in military uniforms for shits and giggles.
Yeah, Teto's outfit was always meant to be a military uniform. It was the prompt chosen before any of the concept artworks were even created. And it's still part of Teto's official profile to this day, as seen on her official website. Teto's original KEI style illustration design doesn't really have military elements except for the pockets, but there were previous versions of the same illustration where the outfit had a green military camouflage pattern.
i was so surprised when they redesigned Teto T_T she is my second favorite vocaloid (i know i know shes UTAU) but she still looks amazing as ever, and so do you!!! Great job Sarah
fun fact: wataru sasaki (creator of miku) made a teto vocaloid v4 in 2017, i have the album made with it. full interview on twindrills official channel
If you ever do a military-esque cosplay again, you might try soutache. It’s the fancy swirling lines you see on fancy military uniforms. Sounds scary, but it’s made using a kind of flat braid, so you can stitch it flat without couching or bunching. It might work better.
milanote is something i didnt know i needed - i was literally putting all my cosplay plans into a google docs sheet, so when you showed the board i was like OMG.
I had been using cosplanner but I find I get way too distracted on my phone. I also wanted to use some kind of planning tool at work on PC and I had been seeing yourubers sponsored by milanote for months now so I decided to try it out and wow it is actually so useful. I find it funny that it is intended to be used for web design and software tasking but I use it to plan and research my art as well as paste references for cosplay. I thought i was the only one who used it for cosplay and I have been telling all my mutuals about it 😂
It's actually so useful! I find it funny that it is intended for web design / mockups/ product design but I literally use it for art and cosplay. I have been using it for a few weeks now
I just save the pics to an album on my phone and buy materials that look close enough to the colors. Literally that’s all. I don’t plan cosplays, which isn’t very good, but whatever. Usually in my downtime of making other cosplays, I do things like mix colors for paint I need for various props and things like that.
@@SarahSpaceman Can you make a milanote template for cosplans? Hopefully they're sponsoring more of your videos and that would be a really cool thing to add!
In case anyone wanted to know, the cording that's typically on military outfits is called 'soutache' But honestly, on sale is on sale, I'd use the cheap cording too 😂
I spent four hours woring on a cosplay because your videos reignited my interest in it. And even though it´s hand-sewn (don´t have a working machine), and getting stung multiple times by the needle, and even though it´s quite messy, I´m proud. And thank you for inspiring me to try my best with what I have!
Hand sewing is difficult (I hand sew as well) and it's honestly so rewarding when you finish a piece. You'll get there, being pricked and all :3 I'm sure your cosplay will/does look amazing! I wish you luck in your hand sewing endeavors, and I hope you have fun with whatever you made your cosplay for, whether it be a con, videos, or Halloween
Oh my goodness! What a shock to see my video mentioned and linked in your video! Your cosplay turned out so beautiful! As someone who is learning to sew, this was very impressive to see from start to finish!
Im shocked to see you watch my content, I really enjoy yours! Found you through the teto video and ive been enjoying learning about vtuber culture through you!
Between this video, the number of super cool Teto songs dropping because of an awesome fan album collab, the anniversary of her SV announcement, and of course the best girl's birthday, we are truly in a Teto renaissance rn 💖
Please wait at least an hour after hitting your head to sleep, to ensure you don't have any concussion symptoms! There's a chance that sleeping immediately after a concussion can lead to complications, be safe with your head injuries!
i love both of her designs so much old is such an iconic one and the new one is like a cool detailed design this is gonna be good edit: I FREAKING LOVE IT SO MUCH
Never been this early to a Sarah spaceman video. I love teto a lot because she brings back so many fun memories from my early vocaloid days. I'm really glad they gave her a new voice bank while still keeping her old on. Cosplay looks great as always, cheers!
Love that you always sound like finding Atlantis when doing basic and proper tailoring the way it is supposed to be and not just winging it xD. A true level up as a Cosplayer :D. Love it. The second piece I did from a pattern was a woolen coat. So the weird coat lining was something I learned very early on.... Because I love to suffer xD
one detail you didn't mention is that though teto is 31 in chimera years, that translates to 15 human years! saying teto is an adult would be like a dog looking at a 15 year old human and thinking "woah 15 years old, you're a senior citizen" lmfao
omg the petticoat explanation/technique alone has me saving this video for future projects! reading a sewing blog? confused. 2 minutes of a cosplay video? got it. LOL ❤
Sewist with 40+ years of sewing here: get yourself a walking foot. The walking foot will have your seams and piping lining up easy peasy!! Love your videos!
Back in the 70s I played D&D. In 1978 my friends and I got tickets to DunDraCon II. We had a 'table', and my friend and I were going to DM a game. Our other friend, Trish, announced that we couldn't go UNLESS we went 'in costume. It took a while to decide what a DM would look like in the game, but Trish and Steve and I ended up sewing our own stuff up! We looked like dorky teens, and I was terrified of being seen(I didn't know I had issues with crowds and being judged until years later...I was just terrified), but we were overwhelmed by the welcome we got from everyone who saw us there. Thanks for advocating for what you love, and maybe I'll try to 'character up' again someday!
when i tell you i nearly screamed in excitement when i saw this video was posted i was not expecting a Teto cosplay, and it makes me so happy to see you cosplaying her. i especially loved her new resdesign as well
Yesterday I had the worst headache but I still really wanted to watch RU-vid, so I watched your videos since the comfy cozy vibes were really comforting :3
Please don't ever stop doing your little history lessons on the characters you're making! I'm a new vocaloid fan and really only know the main vocaloids + a few obscure ones so I heard of teto but I never knew all of that about her, it was really helpful :D
i think something so cool about teto as a character is that she started out as kind of just a fun little joke character for everyone, using a voice synthesizer software that wasn't really as high quality as vocaloid but having all of the charm of one as a character; and now she has grown to such a degree that she has become part of the vocal synthesizer software that a lot of people agree has surpassed vocaloid in quality. it's cool to see OUR girl grow to such heights!!!
OMG I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT COSPLAYING TETO, but costumes and wigs from Ali sucks... I love Teto so much, now she's muuuuch better. She is the only virtual singer I want to cosplay, and thank you for this great work and tutorial❤
NO WAY A TETO COSPLAY!! SynthV Teto is my dream cosplay!! I got the outfit but scared about the wig bc I never did wig styling before lol. But seeing that you did it gives me hope.
I just wanted to say as someone who has been super into vocaloid since I was like 13 on the internet listening to all the songs and watching all the little animations and wanting to cosplay all of them so bad, I NEVER KNEW SHE WASN'T A "REAL" VOCALOID!! I literally found out from this video 😂 talk about an April fools day joke that lasted for over a decade huh 💀 I don't know hooooww I never found this out 😂
As someone who made suit jackets for the first time with no guidance and under a misguided timeframe, it is so good seeing someone with more skill figure out what I couldn't and make a fantastic final piece. Almost makes me want to try again. Almost 😅
As someone who is sewing. I take fashion class and I’ve been sewing for 3 years and I love your videos. I hope one day I make makes cosplays like you bc that would be a dream.
The way I dropped LITERALLY EVERYTHING to watched this your videos have helped me stay relaxed while I've been anxious about starting college in July (I'm going for culinary, animation, and theater)
I was finishing up college and then grad school in the early 2000's, so after I heard your breakdown of the Vocaloids and Kansane Teto I had to run in to tell my husband "THE EARLY 2000's were WILD! Here is another thing we missed!"
From someone who is newly getting in to cosplay I just want to say thank you for feeling confident & comfortable enough to share your skills! It’s super helpful!!
Thank you Sarah for introducing me to Milanote. For me, planning cosplays is always a huge task, the way that adhd and autism work together, it's not easy. So far I've had ONE small notebook where I've written and drawn all my ideas out, (and my drawing skills for crochet patterns aren't that great), so with Milanote I'm able have everything I could'nt have on a notebook. So once again, thank you Sarah! (Edit: and yes, I do crochet pretty much all of my bigger cosplays, currently I'm working on Klee's summer skin from genshin impact!)
you know, as someone who does not do cosplaying, sowing, or knows even a little bit about stitches, these videos are quite entertaining to watch, and kinda makes me want to learn, not that I would most likely, but it puts ideas in my head.
Serger threads: cut them next to your spool, put new color in, knot them together with as small knots as you can and carefully sew scrap piece of fabric until you see knots coming towards your 2 needles. Stop, cut knots away, thread thread trough your needles and hold them while you continue your scrap tester little bit forward. And as some have already said, librarys have so many good things to offer these days, check them up.
Such a great costume! I loved the details. How I sew my sleeves, is I sew both hems together, then sew the under arm seam in one giant seem. Then flip in. I think Kirliee cosplay showed it in one of her videos.
This is such a fantastic cosplay of one of my favorite vocal synths! Her SynthV design is beautiful but extremely detailed and you got it perfect! In terms of songs published, right now Teto is actually sitting at roughly second or third- Miku is obviously on top, but being just below that is nothing to scoff at, above the likes of the other most popular real Vocaloids Rin, Len, Luka, Gumi and Flower. She truly is a real diva now and you really showcased it with that lovely jacket and skirt!
I just came here to say that I don’t even cosplay, probably the most common thing I have with you is the interest with anime, and I barely watch that anymore. 😂 but it’s so hard not to watch you, you are so entertaining to watch and just love listening to you talk about something you’re so passionate about! I like that!
I cosplayed Teto 14 years ago (yikes!!!) and I am beyond pleased to see her get a rework omg You did such a beautiful job!! Thank you for loving her just as much as I have all these years!!
proof cosplaying is an absolute work of art, anyone who makes cosplays especially like this will always have my respect, i look up to you, you inspire me to sew my own work, and it feels good to know its okay to make mistakes, its the best way to learn
You are actually a genius and a once in a lifetime entertainer in cosplay and sewing. I’m flabbergasted at All of your work. Feels like it shouldn’t be free to watch on YT 😭
I have a Kenmore serger that my grandmother had, and it's a pain to thread! I typically just leave it for a while and pick projects that are that colour. The way you're making the skirt with panels, reminds me of how I'm making a Zelda cosplay. I'm doing the OoT version and instead of doing the stripes in the skirt any normal way, I decided to make the skirt as a series of panels as a trumpet/gored skirt. I think there are like 12 panels or something, and I'm top stitching the stripes on each panel, and then serging up the panels. I started it quite a few years ago, and I realized I was way over my head. But someday. It's those really detailed ones that are fun to figure out how to make it work.
She's always been my favorite too!!! I didn't even know her full story until I was an adult, besides that she wasn't a normal 'vocaloid'. I was too young to understand all the intricacies of her story. And when I saw this one announced, I was over the moon!!!!
Found this video at 830am, lack of sleep from pain, and also as someone who's been a fan of Teto for forever and she's always been my favourite, this almost made me bawl. (would have done so without the sleep deprivation and pain LMFAO) Absolutely stunning and wonderful work!! 1000/10🥺💙
You are my idol, because of you I started cosplay and performing, thank you for showing how amazing you are, and I love your teto as I personally don't think she gets enough attention! Thank you for inspiring me to cosplay and introduce me to miku!
I LOVE milanote! I use It for my baking club to keep track of inspiration for our monthly meetings and as a moodboard for our baking projects! I chose it especially cause you can share your boards so that if anyone likes an element of someone else's baked good they can see where they got that inspo and find that particular recipe
she’s one of my fav vocalsynths ever so finding out you cosplayed her is such a pleasant surprise!!!
5 месяцев назад
Teto was also one of my first cosplays xd I did a matryoshka video with friends then and I also fell in love again with the new design. This looks so amazing xd al though the process still scares me xd
This turned out so well! You did great on making Teto's SynthV design feel like.. Teto. (One issue though: Her name's pronounced "Ka-Sane Te-To" and not "Ka-Sa-Ne Te-To" :p)
after my sewing machine acted up a few weeks ago i've been in a creative slump, this really made me wanna get back on the proverbial crafting horse. it looks so good!!
My favourite Teto is the Fuzuchoco design for Yoshiwara Lament. I actually have the figure - Fuzuchoco is one of my fav artists and I didnt even know who Teto was when l bought it, she's just that gorgeous
Sarah's videos are always so satisfying. There's just something about seeing the cosplay go from mockup to end result and the thought process behind it. Also, Teto turned out extremely cuteee ❤️❤️
For standard sergers (not air threads), rethreading is easy. Cut current thread above the spools. Put new spools on. Tie new thread to old thread and gently pull through. Cut knots off before they go through the needle and thread needles. Voile, super simple.
i was a big teto fan (until the synthV change i think they just. murdered her voice) and I'm so happy to see you cosplay her :) i might hate the new voice but the new design is adorable
i use milanote for organizing my writing projects! i genuinely think it's one of the best ways to organize and plan any project. it's so easy and simple
I know it's been 3 days since you posted this, but I wanted to give you a direction to look next time you may need something that involves a similar jacket situation. Nichole Rudolph And Bernadette Banner have done Victorian style Suit Jackets for women of the era but they pretty much do everything you wanted to do (including how to "hem" those types of jackets where they're nice and clean and won't become too short) and they explain how to do it and a bit of the history behind why they were done that way. I figured I should let you know of Historical Fashion youtube to help you out in your journey as it may give you more ideas on how to pull off what you want in the future and maybe more options for patterns. Also figured in case you wanted to attempt that personal jacket that you were hoping to get out of the mockup but it didn't come out as you hoped.
