[@ninguem8947]

when your friend says you can try their food but only a bite so you pull out miku's comically large fork

[@SarahSpaceman]

LMAO that's hilarious

[@neo4016]

Now for desert...you can only use a spoonfull so you pull out a comicly large spoon.

[@t3ddydotcodotuk]

vine references? in this comment section? more likely than you’d think

[@moonbox0929]

Can I have some cake? Only a fork-full. * pulls out miku’s fork *

[@Miku-lp5ym]

Lmao

[@1003513]

I live in a shoebox studio apartment in the middle of a large city and I feel the pain of making sure every part of my cosplay is nontoxic. Glad that there's a creator doing tutorials for people like us. The fabric sleeve is so smart, because I've been suffering through 100 layers of wood glue and acrylic paint up to this point for my foam props. I'm still trying to find a way to make wings without melting/drilling PVC 😭

[@SarahSpaceman]

Gosh I feel your pain! when we moved into this apartment I was like, welp, I guess im not gonna make props again til we move 😂

[@NaomiAlicia4242564]

I live in a shoebox too. I cover everything in plastic sheets and open all windows. And I will do my shit in the house cause if I don't, I just stop cosplay.... Or go do stuff at my parents house who have a garden when I have time.

[@valentinevintel9814]

Also it's really great that she's actually making a thing of it. Like when I was in high school I don't recall anyone talking about that, and in so much videos you only see hand shots, so I used to use spray primer and contact cement without even a mask (thank God I didn't have the money for a dremel). There are definitely not enough security warnings out there

[@redpeterpanda]

As someone with weak lungs a more nontoxic way to make cosplay is really amazing to see. Also your sewing skills/knowledge are amazing, I can't imagine the time it takes to make these costumes and these videos. My mom is generational seamstress and I didn't really get the chance to learn much from her, so your segments of video overexplaining the stitching's. For me it's "oh! that's what mom was talking about!" and I have more appreciation for sewing and the work it takes.

[@SarahSpaceman]

Thank you so much!

[@ssnekky]

I live in a space with animals and it’s constantly disgusting outside weather wise, so I can never use toxic materials. I’ve avoided prop making for a while because all the tutorials used expensive and/or toxic materials. This was really helpful in showing me ways to make props without potentially harming myself or those around me!

[@chaoticcupoftea2462]

THIS VIDEO is gonna save SOO many cosplayers who are in your same situation, thank you as always for being a beacon of hope for us inconvenienced cosplayers😭

[@SarahSpaceman]

Aww! Thank you!

[@Berry_the_Witch]

I'm planning a Millie Parfait cosplay in her second outfit which also needs a giant fork. I cannot thank you enough for this tutorial!

[@NotBrisa]

OMG POG

[@gatchaexe2691]

Yess Millie...

[@CocoaIsTired]

Millie cosplays are always so amazing ❤

[@macieparmenter4544]

Maybe because it’s the Christmas season but before you put the strawberry and the bow on it, it reminded me of the giant utensils the rats use in some variations of the Nutcracker. I realize this is a very niche comparison, I was just trying to think of something to say so I can comment and support the channel because I am obsessed with these videos.

[@SarahSpaceman]

Haha Thank you! I love that comparison!

[@renee4atlanta]

Your attention to detail is terrifying and inspiring! Amazing job!!

[@SarahSpaceman]

Thank you so much!

[@magnoliagrey8516]

did I find this channel yesterday? yes. Have I watched nearly every video? Also yes

[@SarahSpaceman]

Thanks so much for watching them!!

[@Jay_unknown2006]

Did I do the same thing also yes

[@murkymayoi]

have I spent hours of my life watching this whole miku cosplay video? Yes.

[@murkymayoi]

Am i also planning to watch the rest? also yes.

[@RonikaAvonagor]

As a professional pattern maker I really love how you used fabric in prop making!

[@SarahSpaceman]

Thank you!

[@simonaadragna73]

It's eye-opening to see you using nontoxic materials as I too moved in an apartment and stopped for a while making props because I didn't knew which materials I could use. So thank you so much 😍 you're always super talented and a total inspiration

[@SarahSpaceman]

Thank you! Yeah when we moved here I was like, welp, guess i cant make props for a while, but now here we are!

[@mayach3701]

OMG the fork looks so great!! I really appreciate you showing how to make props using nontoxic materials because I also live in an apartment with a mom who works in a chem lab and doesn't want harmful materials at home. oh btw you actually can reuse zip ties there are yt tutorials showing how to!

[@SarahSpaceman]

Thank you! And thank you for the tip, I will have to look that up

[@altairasparks4401]

Your brain is enormous and I love seeing how creative you are with your cosplay making! Extremely inspiring!!!

[@SarahSpaceman]

Haha Thank you so much!

[@msame]

when u pulled the handstitching part out i mumbled to myself "holy shit shes insane". this was so cool to watch cause ive never thought of other ways to cover large foam props. ur dedication is still insanely amazing though

[@SarahSpaceman]

Haha! I love that, and thank you!

[@markusdulgar6397]

Btw, the cork on the back of that ruler is supposed to keep the ruler from sliding so you don’t cut yourself!

[@SarahSpaceman]

It was my drawing ruler in college, learned to flip it over to be more precise, old habits die hard haha, Ill keep that in mind tho!

[@markusdulgar6397]

@@SarahSpaceman I do model making so that’s where I learned it! Kinda funny how tools get taught all sorts of ways

[@michellerabey6637]

It's *SO SHINY* ✨ I'm so impressed by the fact that it's made using non-toxic glue and material too!

[@SarahSpaceman]

Thank you!

[@pixxieestixx]

taking a sip of water every time you say tube or fork. peak hydration

[@SarahSpaceman]

Love that

[@Mixu543]

OMG YES! I use all non-toxic VERY cheap materials, (most stuff you could find at home) but thank you for showing that you don't have to spend a lot of money on toxic materials to make a good cosplay! I typically make all my stuff out of cardboard because I don't have a lot of access to foam, and all those spray-stuff that you need a respirator for! My first con is in January and I'm so excited! I hope to see more videos of you making cosplay, seeing as I watch them while I work on cosplays! Thanks so much for making this again!!!

[@candlerunner]

The fork turned out so cool!! + seconding the nontoxic crafting since I live in a dorm- sometimes hard to even sew for the lack of space lol

[@SarahSpaceman]

Thank you! and oof i feel you on that, i was an art student, I never had any room with all my projects haha

[@astridmyst]

I never imagined that I would learn/relearn so much from someone creating a giant fork. It is funny and great. I love cosplay for it's absurdity in the best ways. Thank you. I LOVE that you did this only using non-toxic tools. I have always wanted to get into bigger cosplay (I have only done sewing projects thus far) but can't do anything with fumes because of my health. It is possible and gives me hope to get into cosplay again!

[@ilpleutdesmecs]

As someone living in a tiny studio in London, it's so amazing to see what you can do indoors in a relatively small space :D I'm a crochet bitch but this makes me want to branch out and try more DIY things one day!

[@AkitakitaNeruFan]

I dont know why I thought this cosplay was done like a year ago and these videos are just of a project thats already done..... when ive been following the progress on tiktok LOL Im so excited to see all the amazing things going to HolMat. This Strawberry Miku is absolutely adorable and you did SUCH a fantastic job on it all. Thank you for sharing videos of it so we can watch you suffer. Hope to see videos from HolMat! Been working on a Kindred bow while binging videos

[@SarahSpaceman]

Thank you! Hope to see you there too!

[@fayewild2734]

yesss this is incredible!! i'm obsessed with literally everything about this cosplay! i haven't cosplayed myself since before the pandemic but this is making me want to actually get started on the two mikus i'm planning (sakura miku bc i have a favourite color and i am sticking to it and the taito sleeping beauty figurine bc she's so damn cute) 😂 also really refreshing to see someone seriously address the safety issues with a lot of crafting methods, i haven't seen that a lot before 😊

[@SarahSpaceman]

I hope you do! And yeSSSS the sakura miku is so so cute!

[@guadalupellano1260]

watching this while i make regency era jewelry for a historical dance, love watching people craft while i´m making things. And the way you got to make that beautiful prop without ruining your lungs and braincells is just amazing.

[@ooohPau]

I stumbled upon this video and it makes me feel a little sad I missed the earlier uploads but glad I got to this one on time-ish. The part where you sew the sides together? I thought I was the only crazy person to do that. I sew through things that aren't meant to be sewn through. Good, no, GREAT FRICKING JOB.

[@SarahSpaceman]

Thanks so much!

[@Anaelic]

This was so incredible to watch, I’m so impressed by your creativity and methods! I love seeing cosplayers use “alternative” techniques compared to what is common these days (3D printing, painting EVA foam etc). I’m sure this will inspire a whole new generation of cosplayers to start crafting again!☺️💗

[@pathetic.waffle]

Spent most of this video wrestling my cat to give him medication for a UTI. I really like that you're making this cosplay non toxic and it makes me excited to finally make my first cosplay and make it stupidly complex (might go with a Rozen Maiden doll tbh)

[@hannahnohlgren989]

I came from the Strawberry dress - Ended up binging a -LOT- of content, and now I am here at the most recent one. You are a delight to watch and I look forward to seeing more of you. Merry fourth advent!

[@thealtpandapng]

On non-toxic cosplays: this video got me thinking of a million different ways to make my props out of yarn since I make all of my cosplays out of yarn.

[@thenightmareservice1800]

Dude your cosplays are always so good! The attention to detail on all of them is way more than I ever do when making a cosplay lmao

[@EMK8813]

This is definitely a way that I would’ve never thought to do! I thought you’d be using something like gold rub and buff but this is much more user friendly! The end project is just so gorgeous!❤❤

[@marastia]

Just got done with your dragon con video and saw that this was posted. Your strawberry miku cosplay is amazing! The fork looks so good too. Good luck with the competition!

[@SarahSpaceman]

Thank you so much 😀

[@Nolachu]

Got in watching the wig vid and went through the back catalogue. Really been enjoying your work! Doing grading today instead of crafting.

[@jasmineleigheng]

I absolutely love that you made the prop using all nontoxic materials. This is a great source to really allow anyone to try something else. Everything looked great and good luck at Holmat.

[@emmettvictor]

I’m an Indigenous (Mohawk) beadwork artist, and HOLY. The beadwork on the strawberry is unreal! You glossed over it, but I know the amount of effort that must’ve taken 😍🍓

[@f33rcetv34]

i love this video style with you- its so relaxing and flows nice and smoothly The fact you gusseted a the fork is iconic LOL Thank the lord you picked a 4 way stretch for this- amazing job I honestly hope this is displayed somewhere in your kitchen or dining room now- this would look awesome propped up on the wall

[@rei7893]

im a beginner sewist and binged all of ur videos it has helped me SO MUCHH i learned so many new stitches and tips and tricks, im planning on entering a competition because of it! i love ur channel and ur miku looks absolutely adorable

[@alwaysjiji7198]

you seriously are amazing at what you do, making me want to do cosplay which I never thought I'd be interested in AAnnnnnd teaching me so much about sewing. Dude those graphics are life changing and I love all the stuff you make. I keep on seeing snippits of your past cosplays like the Link and Rose Quartz and i"m like "ooohhhh I hope there's a video soon about em" whatever you post I'm gonna gobble it up.

[@jennaprizm]

Sarah talking about seeing the viewership on her backlog of videos me, a year+ later recently discovering her, watching her backlog while I crochet

[@prettyplaylists1235]

i usually do crochet while watching your videos because theyre usually about half hour long and stuff and with that i find comforting, i started to watch your videos about yesterday or two days ago or something like that and i actually love this channel sm

[@prettyplaylists1235]

AHSJHDNDN omggg u liked my comment tysm

[@littlemissile]

Found your channel recently and love your videos! Your "apartment safe" approach to cosplay is excellent, never seen anything like it!

[@someonegetheeseungadiamondring]

this is probably the best " non-toxic" cosplay i've ever seen holy shit Sarah you're amazing

[@mschyf]

Here because my nephew is a fan and showed us this episode first. My husband and I had an (old replayed) argument over the logic of gussets and generally had a great time. Keep up the great work!

[@vincentbriggs1780]

It turned out amazing! The inset pieces on the fingers of gloves are called fourchettes, which is incredibly appropriate for a fork! Gussets are typically square.

[@enfircos]

Honestly avoiding toxic materials in general is so smart. The solution you came up with is really cool and makes me wanna try using fabric on some guns I wanna make in the future rather than suffering at the hands of the dremel. Glue fumes in general especially from hot glue are still not great but I'm glad I can use this video now as a justification for being too scared to use contact cement lol Watched this while working on my Glinda dress

[@SteftasticSteph]

This was so sick to see such a unique way to make a prop! Once again, thanks for your amazing videos- it made great company while I was marking my students' maths test XD

[@Sierracat7807]

just wanna say i don’t know . Anything about sewing apart from the very basics (i learned how to use a machine this year lmao) but your videos are so entertaining!!! i really want to get into cosplay making someday and your videos have been so good for learning new things. i just found you today but i absolutely love how you present these . also this cosplay is gorgeous 🥺💖 doin miss miku proud

[@omeortega3544]

I've slowly been chipping away at a Barbara cosplay on my own, watching this videos has given me the confidence to try and finish it! thank you for sharing your process with us, it's super inspiring 💕

[@SomeRandomFangirl]

I painted my nails while watching this video! All of your talk of getting clean lines helped keep my focus and not rush and make things even

[@tajeemcmuffin]

I actually think the restrictions you had to make the fork and your solutions might score you some bonus points on the competition. Awesome job, it's amazing!

[@johannfunn6962]

I’m blown away by how smooth and flawless the fork is considering all the manipulating you had to do to the lamé

[@astrid3321]

This thing turned out so good! It looks so clean. You must feel like a little pixie holding it:)

[@matehiko]

This is so crazy!! I can't believe you did the fork covered in fabric!! I actually love the result so much, I'm in awe with how cute the gigantic fork is!

[@victoriawu6551]

As someone who nearly lost my mind handsewing glove gussets, I salute you.

[@gtjoe146]

Very creative solution btw, the cats are safe

[@annapierce2604]

As someone who has just finished (struggling) wrapping perfectly normal boxes for Christmas, watching you wrap the complex shape of the strawberry is making me feel a little silly 😂

[@bttmofthebrrlstudios]

It looks amazing! Great work!!

[@V1sual3y3z]

The algorithm recommended the strawberry dress video to me and then I started watching your other videos. It may not have gotten initial numbers but please know it still brings people to your channel.

[@Ellamaybuttons]

It turned out so good!

[@xxireneangelxx5904]

me looking at the fork and going “… are those gussets? on a fork?” and yes. those are gussets. im actually crying imagining the pain but also really impressed.

[@EnasniVee]

I lost it when you started flapping the fork tines during cutting. Also, I think you've given me the courage to finally try making gloves with gussets. Amazing work on the prop!

[@Whoizaudriz]

You're so talented! 🥹

[@anonymousfandommix6850]

Im just watching this while cleaning the kitchen and this is so freaking iconic

[@lovepuppy2242]

Watching you add in the gussets on the fork brought me back to the nightmare that was trying to machine sew a pair of gloves. I've made a few gusseted gloves since, but I have refused any machine sewing for them. Hand sewing all the way for me. Also, I've only been here about a month. Your vids kept showing up in my recommended and I loved all of them so I've slowly been going through all your vids. I wish you the best and (if it hasn't already happened) that this channel finally gets monetized. You put so much effort into the things you work on as well as the videos themselves, I nearly cried at the end there.

[@zoeyncle]

u’re so talented!! this is amazing 🫶

[@sarahwebster2466]

So very proud of you 🖤🖤

[@dylanhertzog9816]

work out of my room, living in the barracks... As someone who bites the bullet and spends my life total to get the best tools... I salute you!

[@dylanhertzog9816]

update... this is the most unhinged thing I've seen in a while! You are incredible for pulling this off!

[@zuzzzied]

one of the BEST cosplays i've ever seen, especially knowing the prop was completely non toxic and made with hot glue!! your talent is incredible :)

[@ratgirl108]

Wow that looks amazing omg ❤❤❤

[@moonbox0929]

Honestly super cool. * I may or may not try to make a normal fork using this vid as a guide *

[@Galerna_Carter]

I've discovered you through your strawberry dress video and fell in love with your storytelling and your style. I love how you make everything from editing to cosplay to research and even values, crispy clean like a lovely seam. Here subscribing for the long run!! Thank you for your work!! 💐🏠

[@ke1kk0]

lets be honest for half of us, its like 4am and you saw the title, the video image clicked and then just skipped to the end and loved the cosplay and subbed, lmfao

[@theawsomeness9911]

This actually gave me some really good tips!

[@thinkuthink]

Incredible work! I’m so inspired! Thank you ❤🎉

[@alhovera]

This is amazing!!!!! ❤

[@jidem4495]

i love having your videos in the background while i crochet

[@GHOST-er9qh]

You're videos are so fun... You inspire me so much tbh.

[@teresaellis7062]

That prop is amazing sauce! You are an inspiration!

[@Green_beeb.cosplays]

I always love watching your videos when I’m sewing they give me some great ideas on what to do when I’m stuck

[@ladybugdancer97]

This was fascinating! Thanks for the video to watch while crocheting Christmas presents.

[@LovelyPariah]

I am so impressed with this fork - it's amazing!!

[@Soladat]

I honestly never had any interest in sewing or even cosplay but I started watching your videos on a whim when the miku wig entered my rec feed and honestly it really sparked an interest in me! It's been super cool learning about this stuff from your videos and I really appreciate the work you put into not just the cosplay, but the videos themselves!

[@ScentedPineForest]

It turned out so amazing!!!

[@SarahSpaceman]

Thank you!

[@DarklightAmy]

Ahhhhh how amazing is that fork!!! 💗💗💗

[@Raspbarry_]

I LOVE THIS !

[@KittyUnicorn56XD]

Didn't know what a whipstitch was, I now know what a whipstitch is 😂

[@Hannah-bv5zt]

I love your videos! I am definitely one of those who went back and watched everything after KZbin recommended your wig video. They're all so so so good! I love your passion for what you're making. And the info-graphic things you make are SO great and do such a fantastic job of explaining what you're doing.

[@PinkyDoggy]

Aaaa! It's literally been so much fun watching the process of this cosplay! It's so gorgeous and the details are crazy good! Learned so many things that I'll keep in mind.

[@morbidcuriosity969]

I admire your self preservation. One time I used super super toxic staned glass chemicals in a basement and I just held my breath

[@ohnoohnoohnoohnoohnoohno8737]

I love these videos so much thank you for making them!

[@SarahSpaceman]

Glad you like them!

[@rachaelreneerussell]

Just finished sewing in the ends to my crochet skirt!

[@SlackerLife0]

IDK how I only found your channel yesterday. I adore your work!

[@kimh.4168]

Sooo much work and love to details went into this piece 😮 and it turned out fantastic! 🥺✨🌸

[@shrooms1409]

finishing a loopknit scarf! I love your video!

[@sloanekummer8982]

WAIT I SAW YOU PERFORM TODAY AND NOW YOURE BEING RECOMMENDED TO ME OMG

[@inbarkatan4717]

Love how u over explain everything!! And its really fun to watch u regardless of wanting to try new sewing/cosplay techniques

[@Businessland]

Your builds are always so inspiring!

[@SarahSpaceman]

Thank you so much!

[@g-ti-al]

I ADORE your videos! Thank you for showing an entire process that you have ❤️ it inspires me very much!

[@nikkiinocente86]

This was so helpful!! I have been looking all over for apartment safe Prop advice ❤

[@kittyqueentengu5327]

i have no idea how sowing or making props works but this is still fun to watch
