I have long wanted to make a costume from the anime series I grew up on. But because of my limited sewing skills it would be hard for me. Therefore I bought several inches of red fabric, a used white shirt and pants, and a bottle of fabric glue. After only a few days voila! It was done, and with a wavy style wig it's a blast from the past. Not bad for a beginner. This one though needs to be redone since I don't know if it's washable (fabric might come off or bleed). I'm still glad I finally made it.
