Sakura from Naruto was my first crafted cosplay, back in 2013. I’m so glad I’ve got such clear, well lighted pictures of her /sarcasm. It’s nice to see how far cell-phone pictures have come though.
It was the first sewing I did, and I’m still super proud I managed to attach a zipper with no proper training. I did do a test run for the top, as I’d never even sewn before, but happy to report I had no wardrobe malfunctions! The circle on the bag is just cut out from interfacing fabric and stuck on. And a lot of the accessories are repurposed, for instance a cell-phone belt-holder repurposed as a leg pouch, and the other pouch is a really tiny purse that I still use.
I dyed the wig myself, it was not pretty, and it’s now stiff enough to stand up by itself!
I really recommend trying out Sakura if you’re thinking of a beginner-friendly cosplay! She was lots of fun, and meeting so many other characters from Naruto at the convention was a blast!
