Description
Well, I needed a break from doing this for hours! So, I took pictures while I was going (as per the usual) of appliqueing the clouds onto the Itachi robe I have on commission (that I have to have done this weekend/early next week
)So... I hope you can find this helpful, as well! It's a grand alternative to the Fakie Screen-Printing Tutorial for a way of applying color or design.
I'll probably wind up coming in and editing this description shortly; I'm just too tired right now! That was a lot more work (both the cloud things, and the tutorial) than I thought it would be!
I have one question for Naruto fans, though: why is there only one cloud on Itachi's outfit that goes backwards? The one on the back, as per this reference - [link] Why just one?! *drives me crazy*
As per the usual:

Wow, this is useful. o__o Thank you!
About the clouds: In the newer Shippuuden chapters(manga) the whole robe only has four clouds, and none of them go backwards.

Really? Hrm... well, go figure -___-; Maybe they knew I was throwing a fit about it, and fixed it?

Yay! Now I don't need to be afraid of doing things like this now, this is so awesome!

Indeed!!
I really wanted to do this, to make Fai's robe from Tsubasa, but alas... time got away from me again this year... I was going to do it for my friend, Steve

Hm, my next/first big cosplay project will be making Halley into Hiro Nakamura .
The most expensive thing will be the sword , but I can't complain about that price. Most difficult thing to find will probably be the sweater. All the rest I'm sure I'll run into at one point or another, or have a fairly easy time of creating the look of (like the white on the shoes, and the green stripes on the messenger bag).

But, I'm so happy to have helped! I hate seeing stuff like that painted on; it (usually - I have seen one good Midna) looks so lumpy and heavy and... well, crunchy XP
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I seriously can't wait to get started on something! 
Well, I'm still going to paint Midna's designs on, mainly because of how large and complicated they are, but also because I'm going to water down my white paint and make it look more aged, not crispy and WHITE like I've seen it done!

Oh my god. Thanks so much! I had no idea how to do applique via machine, only by hand; and while doing it by hand I make it look nice and can do near invisible stitching, it takes FOREVER. I can totally use this in the future. *_*

Oh noes! I've had to do that before

Very, very helpful. I will definitely use this sometime.

Oh, it's fine, I do the same thing.
Falling behind on Deviantart is so tedious to fix. Once I left for a week and when I came back I had over 1000 deviations and notes to dig through.
I started editing my watch list after that....

Hehe, that's what I'm hear for - giving you steps up to go from beginner to at least intermediate

Question!
What sewing machine(s) do you use?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have a Janome QC ... I can't remember the number. It is a higher-end Janome that is built for quilting, which is one reason it makes applique go so fast - it was a really quick stitch speed

Whoa.
All I've got is a Brother. Dunno what kind. It's as old as I am though >.o

Hehe, I worked for years on a machine that was from the 60's, and it's fantastic, until I broke it

Same here...although mine wasn't quite that old...it was my mothers when she was my age ^^
Some of the new decorative stitches can be quite nice though...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They definitely are, and make for nice touches on little things - especially the scalloped one's, I love those!!

Oh My God... I understand! I could never get that right, I thought I was retarded or something. Ok I'm switching my religions to 'Taeliacism, All Hail

Hehe, it's definitely a bit of practice to get it to look right, but I didn't do it right the first few times, either - it was more f a case of trial and error

Great tutorial. I want to try this with my mom's sewing machine. I don't think my sewing machine can do zig-zags. My sewing machine is older than I am.

How about the super old cast iron antique sewing machines. jk. My mom has one of those, but we don't use it. My sewing machine is a hand me down. I should see it if it has zig-zag.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ooooh! I don't know... some of them do zig-zags, but not all of them... my friend owns a couple of them, including one that is powered by a hand crank!!
Otherwise, you can always straight stitch on whatever you're doing, and just be sure you're using felt or something that doesn't fray
