If you can't think of where to find any of these things, check out your local Goodwill or other thrift stores. I'm sure every guy has or has access to a perfect pair of Pazu shoes. All you need is a white, button up shirt, a brown vest, a tan or brown newsie hat, a pair of goggles, a pair of jeans, and a tan square of fabric for a patch. Please forgive the extremely crappy illustration, I'm not exactly an artist. Then sew the pieces to the soles, slip the flats inside, and you're done! In the picture, the red zig zags indicate where you'll sew before attaching the tops to the soles. Once you have four identical pieces, stitch them together from the toe to just past the flat's edge, and stitch the heels. Lay the shoe on its side and trace it, adding a few inches to the top to accommodate for seams and the fabric reaching to the center. After you've taken care of the sole, it's time for the sides/top. I ended up using duct tape because I completely forgot about it until the day I wore it and had to get the tape from the convention staff. Although you'll want to reinforce the fabric on the bottom with something that will give you some traction and keep the fabric from ripping. Trace around them with a reasonable seam allowance, and this will be your bottom. Pick a pair of extremely comfortable flats and set them on your red fabric. The shoe covers are also relatively simple. Then you simply pin it to your belt and voila! It was slipped onto a long button pin and glued so it wouldn't slide around. I used a silver button cover and simply didn't put fabric over it. The belt buckle on Sheeta's costume is a rather large silver disc. The belt is very simple, it's just a strip of orange fabric with either a small button at the front or a safety pin. Make an elastic casing for the ankles and either do the same for the waist, or make several tucks and sew on a waistband with a button. Don't be afraid to use a lot of fabric, because if you use cotton like I did, you'll want the volume to make the pants poof out like Sheeta's. The pants would come to your natural waist, and the ankles of the pants should reach your ankles. All you need to do to make your own pair of Sheeta pants is copy the pattern, altered to fit your measurements. It consists of coral harem pants, a yellow mock turtle neck with puffed sleeves, red flats, and an orange belt with a silver disc buckle.įor the pants, I found a harem pant pattern on a bellydancing website. I chose the pirate outfit she wears during the movie.

Most of Sheeta's costumes are quite simple there's the purple dress she wears in the beginning, very simple to Kiki from Kiki's Delivery Service, and a boy's outfit she wears when trying to evade pirates.

Since watching the movie I had wanted to cosplay Sheeta, so I decided AI was a perfect opportunity. I immediately thought of Pazu, the male lead. For Anime Iowa 2011, a friend of mine wanted to do a simple cosplay as he didn't have any sewing experience. He's the brain behind animated feature films such as Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Baron: the Cat Returns, and one of my favorites, Castle in the Sky. If you're an anime fan like I am, you've probably heard of Hayao Miyazaki.
