Costume-a-go-go

We took a trip down to Richmond this morning, to visit a fabric superstore... yep, I've started working on our cosplay costumes for Sakura-con. This is fun, it's been too long since I've been to look at fabrics are and dreaming about everything I'd like to make. I also notice that I have no clue whatsoever about the English terminology for sewing... I'm looking at the instructions and they are like in a foreign language (well, they are). I'm sure it'll all become clear once I start working on it.

For now, I bought forest green twill for Tsunade's jacket, plus some red and black Chinese brocade to jazz it up. Faded green khaki was not available, so fabric for Jiraiya's kimono needs to wait a little bit. The pattern is marked with big "easy - ready in two hours" label so I trust I can do this...
