Boot Cover Tutorial - FFXIV Summoner Cosplay - Part 1

[@nah6024]

I'd like to add one thing to the pattern making process: do not wrap one single strip of tape all the way around your leg. You will end up making it too tight, which is not only extremely uncofortable but it also pushes whatever chub you have in your limb up or down, messing up your shape. For a snug but comfortable fit I like to put the tape on vertically instead of horizontally, though kamui's method of taping two pieces horizontally seems to work too.

[@KamuiCosplay]

+Peachy and the Smile Good tip! Yes I always try to use very small strips

[@CeeGeeFursuits]

You can actually see that the tape is pretty loose

[@LaviniaDeMortalium]

Just to put my reaction into perspective, the thumb nail made these look like tights. I'm completely blown away by the effort put into these. Like, I know cosplay really is a time-exhaustive labor of love, but it's another thing all together to see how much skill is put into this.

[@soroh0062255]

The urge to buy your books - even though I've never actually started any real cosplay projects - is rising.

[@KamuiCosplay]

Uuuhhhh! I'm getting close! :3

[@happy14945]

i bought all of your books and then decided to make a malthael cosplay an aion cosplay and a genderbend mercy cosplay. you rock!

[@blissstreeks4035]

LOL right....?

[@tamannaD2909]

"Buy my books" HAHAHA 😂😂😂

[@Nekogal18]

Ikr!!! She too cute

[@spork861]

For people that don't have the airbrush system, you can also use regular chrome silver spraypaint. And instead of the black oil color you can also use acrylic paint.

[@neve9853]

spork tysm! 😄

[@EmissaryofWind]

Man, I really want your books, but I want to wait until I can afford the physical copies

[@yongyea4147]

Just try to find pirated copies.

[@EmissaryofWind]

@@yongyea4147 that's a shitty thing to suggest in the comments of a creator who relies on selling their books to live.

[@EscapismStudios]

Oh dang, adding the plastic bones inside is super smart??? I'm totally trying that.

[@GraceWillow]

I LOVE this video and your shoes came out so cute!!!!!

[@F1BOY2007]

BWAHAHHAHA BYE BYE BUY MY BOOKS HAHAHAHAHAAHAH

[@Schmachthexe89]

die sitzen so gut, dass ich beim thumbnail dachte "seit wann macht sie body painting?" 😂

[@miachan266]

Mel Anie ich auch 😂😂

[@rachelwilliams9343]

and the most important lesson is..... always pet the Corgi!

[@SayaShinigami]

Hehe the ending was the best! 'byee... BUY MY BOOKS' So cute

[@Kiwi2799]

This. IS. SO. insanely. Awesome!!! I love it!

[@TaraFYW]

So cool! I love all the little details and shading :) great job!

[@calolson9572]

The Corgi ending was awesome!

[@javierleon5213]

Hola amiga me gusta lo que ases saludos de argentina

[@AionNoBara]

I was very excited with Symmetra cosplay, but I screamed when I saw this video. You're producing all my favourite things! I play WHM on FFXIV. Maybe when I find a glam I like, I'll think of cosplaying her too ^_^ Such a great example! It makes me want to try! Thank you! Don't tell me you're going to Fanfest aaaah!

[@MFLUL]

I'm making my very first cosplay build and I'm learning everything from your videos and books! Thank you so much for putting the effort in to share all of this!

[@pingu5968]

I'm curious if this would work with heels....? PS LOVE your vids, they make me wanna cosplay sooo bad!!!

[@valkydesigns]

Hi Kamui :) I was wondering if even with the boning, did your boots end up falling during photoshoots or cons? I'll be working on Dehya from Genshin Impact soon and was considering using that technique on the thigh high boots instead of using tights :) Thank you!

[@SwediCandy]

Bye! Bye bye bye bye byu buy BUY MU BOOKS!! >:3c

[@cynthiavh2241]

I'll be trying out boot covers soon, but mine will have to be completely closed, out of faux leather (I will be using a zipper of course!). Do you have any tips for making covers like that? Do I use the same method or will I be too restricted in movement? It's for Kitana's tournament skin from MKX!

[@evonaagrochowski8006]

I am so totally jealous of your workshop space,...! Damned I need to find a very rich husband, is there any one, out there,..??

[@Geek_Wife]

Hello! I bought some of your books and I will be using them to make a Ronin Warrior cosplay for my husband. What kind of primer did you use that is able to be sanded? And do you have a preferred brand of contact cement? Thank you so much!

[@xXTodesgoettin]

Ich hab immer Probleme Schuhcover zu machen ohne tatsächlich für jedes Cosplay neue Basisschuhe zu kaufen, gerade wenns was mit Absatz sein muss kosten die immer gleich nen kleines Vermögen - aber schönes Tutorial ;>

[@MythicVS]

I LOVE YOUR TUTORIALS

[@hiba]

Awesome! :D

[@canapop]

can you please tell me if the black fabric up the back of your boots was of a stretchy material like what you have used in some of your other tutorials [a legging type fabric] or was it also a faux leather fabric.

[@batonrouge1824]

I'm worried that if I add a zipper to an outfit or something it'll be too big because I added a zipper, any tips?

[@leeannah]

Incredible, thank you ♥️

[@Dartuche]

[@Car0Cast]

Me encanta lo dedicada que eres a tu trabajo !!

[@amazingamatsu]

I'm glad i purchased all the books when i had the chance.

[@krumelprinz4321]

Super gutes Tutorial. Bist echt ne krative Maus. Liebe auch deine Bücher, die helfen einem super weiter (zumindest das eine was ich habe xD ) Hättest du ggf. auch einen Tipp für die Schuhsohlen ? Also weil deine Schuhsohlen waren ja jetzt auch nicht unauffällig schwarz, sondern hatten noch pink mitbei gehabt. ALso vllt findest du ja eine gute Möglichkeit, um auch Schuhsohlen gut zu gestalten (manchmal braucht man das ja für Fotos und so)

[@leahtanner4205]

Woher hast du das Leder???? Bräuchte exakt das gleiche Material für mein Juvia Stiefel. ich könnte nach nbg wenn dus dort irgendwo gekauft hast

[@viper55073]

Congratulations ... Excellent Job

[@FaeRinmori]

Yay Miq'ote!!! My gril is basically the same as you cutie except with dark blue skin and a bow and arrow (I play as a Bard!!!). Another wonderful video, you're so much fun to watch and your boots look FABULOUS!!! I swear one day I will make a cosplay...one day!!!!

[@martinaramezzana3691]

Does it also work for heel shoes? I bought a non elastic leather fabric and I was wondering if the result would be nice as well

[@Foxkilth]

Does anybody know how many wears she got out of them before the glue started coming undone off the base shoe ?

[@alexanderast2199]

Hey ich hab da ma ne Frage, Ich will ein cosplay zum Charakter Twin Blast aus Paragon machen ich hab nur das Problem, dass ich keine guten bilder zu seinen Waffen bekomme wie würdest du das machen?

[@TheMrBurn]

Which airbrush machine do you use? How about a tutorial what kind of equipment you need, for doing cosplays?

[@KamuiCosplay]

Check my Sombra Gun Painting video for airbrush tips!

[@luckynow7]

what kind of plastic boning did you use? i don't see it in the description!

[@goddesslee470]

that was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@hannichai5860]

Wo hast du das "Leder" denn her ? Ich brauche so ziemlich das selbe Material 😅 hast du einen Shop Link oder eine Empfehlung?

[@DyemensionStudio]

hey can you make the gun of reaper

[@GravityTrash]

10/10 pet the Corgi Pup

[@rebeccajimenez7760]

Bye-bye! Bye... bye...buy-BUY MY BOOKS!!!! ....... Bye ^_^

[@antonycoupe4225]

....I am so in love with this woman!😍

[@trufflesth]

How do you tidy up the area where you glue the fabric near the sole? 2:03 The edges there seem messy but at the end of the video there's a band around it

[@KamuiCosplay]

I just glued a nice leather band around it! :)

[@Hydalann]

where are some good places to get leathers?

[@morethanabc]

They looked amazing

[@leanazappe9471]

Could you cover how to make resin deer hooves?btw love your channel supper easy to follow.

[@KamuiCosplay]

Check out Lightning Cosplay 'schannel

[@KawaiijuCosplay]

Thank you for making tutorials on youtube as well as making the books for people to purchase! It's great to be able to see how you go through the process visually as well as reading about it!

[@MYFRESHLIFE]

Brilliant video! I can't wait to see more for this cosplay! I played as a Mi'qote White Mage on FFXIV :) -Tajmeow

[@VeroniqueVeritas]

Hey , ich schaue dir schon länger zu und habe dir viel nachempfunden aber nun wollte ich mir deine Bücher holen doch die sind alle auf englisch gibt es die auch auf deutsch?

[@simonpetheram2992]

are you going to fanfest in 2017?

[@awizardmummyandmartian3238]

Kirilee Cosplay referred me to you.

[@TimeWithBekka]

This was so amazing to watch! Super inspiring and helpful! Thanks so much for sharing!!

[@silentgrove7670]

pet corgi for optimal results.

[@JessieJeto]

Where do you get your faux leathers?

[@LadySubaru62]

This might be a dumb question, but did you add seam allowance when you transfer the pattern to fabric?

[@KamuiCosplay]

Yes, always! :)

[@FataMorgananoYakata]

the airbrushing/paint on the metal detail looks really good but man i'd be terrified to go out with glued on anything in a costume, people always manage to 'accidentally' pull things off

[@KamuiCosplay]

You could also just make a hole in your pieces and sew them on. :)

[@anoirsx]

cool and fun to watch! LOL! TY!

[@Freea13]

These are so stunning! But....you didn't add any seam allowance to your pattern? That surprised me a bit.

[@KamuiCosplay]

He he he, I actually did, but not in this video part. Forgot to film it, so I faked that step in a hurry and totally forget to add seam allowance. Thought nobody would notice it! XD

[@chellyx3O]

My friend had ordered your books for me for my birthday. THANK YOU SO MUCH for the sweet birthday message in the books and for the yummy gummy bears. :DDDD Im so excited to try out your tips and tricks from your book!!

[@ChiiSan09]

What server do you play on?? I'd love to meet more players before fanfest in vegas

[@KamuiCosplay]

I sometimes play on cerberus.

[@Ariiaaa]

i am so fucking impressed

[@imtryingmybest8342]

'Bye bye bye bye BUY MY BOOKS bye bye'

[@kasf1982able]

I have been inspired by your extroinary energy on all of your video tutorial, so I purchased lots of your designs book, thanks for the amazing talent,both of you and korggies, fun to watching your video, I think both of you are extremely talented,. Thanks.

[@ziggy123445]

Wow, simply wow. What you can creat is remarkable. I'm stunned by how amazing it looks

[@jaiyapapaya]

I honestly thought this was printed! Nice work!

[@itskay1359]

I got the digital books best purchase over holy crap I’m gunna be using this tutorial for my sailor moon boots!

[@KamuiCosplay]

You can do it!

[@aliencatx]

What would you suggest instead of Worbla? I live in the states and Worbla is very expensive and hard to get.

[@KamuiCosplay]

EVA Foam! :) Or Sintra. Or polystyrene. Or cardboard.

[@helenclub]

It's interesting^^

[@michelealdworth9297]

Hi there! I love your videos! Tell Benny he did a fabulous job. Give your Corgis a good rub on the tummy too for being so cute. You really know how to do your craft so we'll. If I feel sad or I don't feel good I just watch one of your videos and it perks me up. Thank you. Keep up the great work. God bless.

[@josephperez7015]

Ok, I'm definitely buying the books again... 😄

[@ElvenartistKentrKatty]

very beautiful

[@TheMaxikat]

buying books for sure ^-^

[@GoodTears]

Does the boot cover also work with Foam? I want to cover pony heels with EVA Foam with magnets. I want to cover my boots and decover them again.

[@atyh4]

This was cool I was just wondering if you left an inch on the sides to make room for sowing and also I'd love to see how you made the slip on shoe stuff on your Overwatch Symnrtra cosplay. Love your tutorials!!!

[@mattTc17]

Haha the corgi bit at the end!

[@LilyaScarlet]

Just out of curiosity, have you worked with latex yet? If not, do you think you want to try a costume made out of latex soon?

[@KamuiCosplay]

I do not have much experience with latex... but never say never, right?

[@siljanousiainen538]

I would like to ask what glue do you recommend for the boot cover in general? Is there a particular brand you like to use? :) I am planing my first boot covers

[@darkling-studios]

oh my god... seing over the pins, that would help my work so frikin much _-_

[@rwiersema]

They look awesome, the airbrushing makes them look really cartoony :D

[@thoidaigainhay333]

i like the end haha :)) buy it

[@ramazlezhava8596]

Busty cool fairy.

[@nickyknarziknirz4832]

Wo kauft ihr die Stoffe ein? Es ist hier so schwer welche zu finden

[@CookieRaider007]

When I watch your videos it makes me want to go to the store and buy a bunch of crafts and make cosplays but I know it will end in disaster, especially since I don't know how to sew :c

[@Ash-qh2xx]

I love your accent!

[@lmallia6719]

The boots look great, especially with all the detail work. How comfortable were these boots to wear?

[@KamuiCosplay]

They were actually super comfortable!

[@leapr403]

Is that ok to use acrylic paint for adding contrast to fabric ? 🤔 Or i should use fabric paint ?

[@foreversinging91]

I BOUGHT YOUR BOOKS!

[@vorlonshadowgamer5453]

wow your truly talented

[@nicobidonel]

You are awesome!!! 😁 😁

[@Jonacritico]

i love u

[@LumiWatchesVideos]

Hi! I've been looking around a little and I can't really find anything so I was wondering, how do you waterproof your leather so the paint doesn't come off? I'm assuming I can use plain acrylic paint and a sponge since I don't have an airbrush. owo Thanks in advance!

[@KamuiCosplay]

You can spray on a layer of varnish or use fabric color that you can heat seal in with an iron.

[@LumiWatchesVideos]

Thanks! I'll go google some more to see what I can find ^^ I'm just starting work on a Hyur starter set cosplay and I was worried about my leather pieces in case it starts raining.

[@DigitalGlow]

Did you not add a seam allowance to your boot cover pattern before transferring it to fabric?

[@KamuiCosplay]

Good eye! I did but only had footage of the first take when I did it wrong, haha!

[@SylenisCrafts]

I love the look of the furniture leather you use, it looks so much softer and more pliable than the leather I can find! Do you mind me asking if it has a particular name, or where I can get some?

[@KamuiCosplay]

+Feather Stitched We just bought ours over Amazon.de 😮We call it Alcantara but I'm not sure if that's the same in English!

[@SylenisCrafts]

KamuiCosplay thank you so much for responding! I'm in Spain, so I'm sure I will be able to find some similar, or ship it in :)

[@RebelRainbow303]

I notice that you always sew through your pins when using your machine, when i try this it breaks the machine needle. am i missing something that stops this from happening?
