Edit: Holy Molely! So many Favourites! Glad you guys like it/find it useful! When I post my aqua and Twilight princess Link I'll try to do the same tutorial thing!

I tried everything on and I think it looks great~
BUUUUUUUUUT I want to know what you guys think~
So instead of spamming your in-boxes, or the front page, I put them all together~
Um... ougfvahf I really love how this turned out ;3; I've wanted to cosplay Sora ever since I played Kingdom hearts so... hahah this was one of my dream cosplays? I'm just glad it turned out, cause I thought it would be really hard to make for some reason... and was scared to screw it up ;.;

I made the whole Thing from scratch(minus the gloves and shoes), nothing was made from old stuff that I modified or anything! (which is another reason I love this so much~ hahah)

Here's how I did it, a tutorial of sorts:

Under shirt:
I took an old T-shirt that I never wear and turned that into my pattern/muslin by cutting off the sleeves, and turning the neckline into a V-neck, pretty simple. The fabric I used is actually suppose to be used for lining, but I liked the colour (and it was on sale haha...) BUT as such, it feels really nice against my skin! It was really easy to work with. For the white stuff on the collar I used white double fold bias tape, which is nice to used because then you don't have to finish your edges! The pocket is also made from a lining material, with Bias on the outside edges, and T-shirt fabric for the inside stripe.

Pendent:
I used Craft foam, a dog training collar, hot glue and spray paint. I think it turned out really well, and it was super easy to make!

Over shirt:
I used a simple hoodie pattern and modified it, I made sure it was 2 sizes bigger then what I wear, so I had room to play around with it. The fabric I used is Cotton Satin which is a bit pricey, but feels really nice and looks terrific in photo's The lining is a simple white cotton, very cheap, looks good and feels nice, the white around the edges is again, double fold bias tape

Shoulder pads:
This may sound a bit odd, but they are made out of Bra pads. They come in packages, which say they are made to put in home-made swim wear, but I saw them and thought of Sora's Shoulder pads! They fit well, and are big enough to allow for the bottom to be trimmed into the shape that Sora's are. the white around them is simple white piping. The yellow 'straps' are made of back-pack type stuff... IDK the name of it.

Pants (blue):

I cut up a pair of old shorts, then used that as my pattern, worked well and only took about an hour and a half to make, then I cut it to make the U shape that we see. I used Novelty Denim for this, because, although a bit more expensive, it is more stiff, and holds it's shape better.

Pants (black):
I used the same fabric as I did for the shirt, only I used the 'wrong' side, so that it wouldn't have the shine. I used a simple Cargo Capri pattern and to make the poof, I added elastic to the bottoms, then folded the excess under. used the front and back of the blue part and cut the U out of the black, giving me two black legs with long sides, I then sewed them together with white piping between the seams for the white divider that is on Sora's pants.

Pockets:
I used a simple cotton, cut out the what I though the shape was, interfaced the sides and sewed them together. Fro the X I used some novelty cotton scraps. I sewed them onto the pants at the base of the flap and on the bottom, in the middle. For the straps, I used the same as the shoulder straps (the shoulder straps are the same, just cut in half). I sewed a 4" (unfolded) piece to the front and back (top and bottom) of the pockets (seam ripped, slipped in, re-sewed) then folded them over and sewed the metal square rings into the straps (making the strap about 2 - 2.5".) I then sewed a longer piece on the back and brought it to the front, pined and cut when it looked the right length, then sewed to the front ring. (Same for the ones that cross, I just added one belt loop on each side of the pants to hold it up.)

Gloves:
I kinda cheated on the gloves, and built onto a pair of Yoga gloves, I used bias tape for the white part, and craft foam for the blue armour type stuff and yellow. I glued it all while it was on my hands, so they would fit properly, and the nice thing about craft foam, is that it is a bit stretchy.

Hope this helped people.
