Hi I'm Ainlina, and let's go for a new tutorial !
Today I'll make Lucy  Heartfilia from Fairy Tail.
I chose this cosplay because it got elements which a recurrent in the cosplay : pleated skirt, top etc
So I hope you'll like it !
Feel free to watch my other videos, I made Samus, Shinon from SAO and Satsuki, and other chracters too ! So check these videos out =)
Let's go for Lucy !
First the list of what you'll need ! 
It will depends of your body shape, if you line your cosplay etc.
I chose to line my top because white fabric are usually a bit transparent !
For the pattern you have different ways.
You can use a top you got, here Igot a shirt, and reproduce it on your pattern fabric where there are the seams !
But for me, I already got a pattern I made a few years ago so I used it. Here's a drawing of it so you can see what it looks like =)
Then I cut my fabric from it. Of course if you make your pattern,
 check before cutting your fabric that it's your size and adjust it if it's needed ! (pin it on you) .
And then you can cut your fabric, don't go just like that because you're assuming it's right
Then I overlocked all my pieces with my new toy ! I just got this overlock machine for my birthday, I love it so much !
If you don't have one, you can use a zigzag stitch, it's good too !
Then I sew the right side and the lined, but not together, separately.
Then iron your seams to flatten it, it'll be prettier !
And then I sew on the right side some blue bias on the chest like her, so there is no seams on the lined !
Before putting the rest of the biais, I sew the collard to the right side and the line together to assemble the pieces =)
Don't forget to fused your collar to have a cool shape !
And personnaly, I like to sew over the seam in order to put the collar up and not down (kind of hard to explain)
Then I pin alll the blue biais (and singing a silly song)
I also pin the seperable zip in the front, and don't forget it starts a bit up from the bottom, like 5cm up.
And then I sew all the blue biais + the zip =)
I make an apparent seam because I'm lazy and I kind of like that, I think it's pretty when it's clean !
Finish the top by iron it agains and here's the result !
For the skirt, it's the "complicated" part : calculate the fabric. You should pause the video to read xD
For info, my skirt is 30cm long =)
so I measure myself, so I can calculate the fabric I need and I cut it in my fabric.
I overlocked in white, I know it's not right I should have done it in blue but I didn't had enough blue so it's in white xD
And then I make the folds ! 
Take your time to do it right, it's a bit long and boring but well, it has to be straight and regular !
And you iron all your folds ! Be strong on your iron, to fix the folds =)
Then I fix the folds with a seam in the top of the skirt which will be hidden by the belt.
And then I pin the belt on it, and sew it. It's just a rectangle =)
And I finish the skirt with an invisible zip on the side to close it =)
For the brown belt, I just sew together some fake leather and some thick coton to have a thick belt =)
It took ages to put it on the right side x)
Don't forget to flatten it by ironing =)
And now the resuuult !
