Konata Izumi (Lucky Star)

Hey, guys! It's me! ^^ Ah, September... The hot temperatures rise up before turning into the soothing cool of autumn. It's last call for every pool and water park in the country. And people are showing off their bikinis and trunks one last time before packing it up for the winter... But this is also the beginning of the 'Back to School' season, when weathered bells ring and kids switch from couches to desks. So to close the summer and welcome the fall, here's a recipe for you otakus out there! ^^

Let's start it off with one little lady (even though she's a teenager), Konata Izumi from "Lucky Star!"

Here's Konata! ^^

Here's what you need:

• A white long-sleeved shirt 
• A pink dress
• Pink and white ribbon
• Brown socks

How to assemble it:

1. Like I mentioned in the previous recipes, take the dress and some white ribbon and either sew or iron it on. This time, spread the strips of ribbon apart like in the picture.
2. Here's the tricky part: Take some pink ribbon and cover the sleeves save for some white stripes. If you can't do that, use some white skinny ribbon for the stripes. Either sew them or iron them on.
3. For the collar, take some pink fabric, tie it under your shirt and lay out some skinny white ribbon. Repeat last action on step 2. Take some brighter pink fabric and tie it outside of your shirt.
4. Just put on socks and shoes and you're done! ^^

Now to plan on what to do for '13 Cosplays of Halloween...' Enjoy and have a great school year!
