The Cosplayer's Lament: the haiku

[moonwise]

Right sides together
A misapplication of pins
Best friend, seam ripper

Measure twice, cut once
Pretty fabric is pricey
Now must get some more

Up too late sewing
Almost perfect, but not quite
Missing: one collar

Thankfully, the second one is random this time, but yes, I'm making a new costume. ramothhe has put a bug in my ear to cosplay Tenten from Naruto. She's very cute, and it's gotten my attention even though I've seen all of three episodes of Naruto so far. ^_^;
