Adam Savage Repairs Totoro Cosplay!

Ғылым және технология

Adam Savage and the Tested team ran a cosplay repair booth at this year's Silicon Valley Comic Con, and Adam was so delighted to find another Totoro cosplayer at the show! Adam helps repair this Totoro costume, which is a different take on the character than Adam's own build. Plus, Adam geeks out over an amazing Darkseid cosplay!

    Seriously, Adam seems like the nicest, chillest dude, like he's had this huge fame, done such important and great things, worked with such high class, world-renowned people, yet he never acts like it, he just seems like such a friendly, happy person who can chill with anyone and will help anyone, i love it! Anyway, i recently got into sewing, and when i say recently got into it, i had to sew something (A Totoro teddy coincidentally XD) with no idea how to sew, what a seam line is, never touching a needle, nothing, it's not the prettiest thing but people said considering it was literally impossible to know less, i did a really great job, and i wanna do it more! But something i loved, i have horrible eyesight and am a really shaky person, yet I've found i can get the thread through the needle on the first try every time, i feel so proud about that XD

    As someone with a larger than optimal experience with sewing and mending, the way that thing was frayed looked to me like it had dealt with a heavy load over a longer period of time (many small tugs and consistent tension), this is not the ripping you would get from a large force all at once. As you could see, Adam folded it over before sewing it back on, this helps prevent that kind of wear, because there's a slight buffer of the "second" row of stitches (after the fold) that all the fabric between the "first" row (before the fold) gets pushed onto, thus making it less likely that the fabric slowly frays all the way down.

    Probably not. SVCC and Tested had a cosplay lounge running all weekend and offered supplies and advice for repairs. I used their mirrors this year and their brush and glue gun last year. They probably just saw this guy come in for a needle and thread and said, "Wait here, I'm getting Adam."

    Wow, I'm surprised Adam doesn't use the pinched-thread technique. That method works amazing. You get the tip of the thead wet like he did but you pinch the very tip of the thread between your thumb and index finger and then slide the needle open-eye between those fingers and it really helps force the thread through the needle-eye as the thread has no where else to go.

    UV resin is popular with crafters and makers who work on a small scale, such as making charms or jewelry. It's better than two-part resins for this because it doesn't need to be measured precisely, so there's no minimum amount you have to make at one time and so there's very little waste. It also cures quickly (10-30min) and doesn't need a well-ventilated area, so it's great for working at a bedroom desk or other small space. You don't even need a special light source, because it will even work if left out on a sunny windowsill. Plus since it doesn't harden unless exposed to UV, cleanup is relatively easy. The main drawback is the molds have to be completely clear and colorless to allow the UV light to reach every part of the resin, and you can be in big trouble if the weather doesn't cooperate. I've seen UV resin craft kits, often imported from Japan, come with little UV flashlights like bouncers will use to check IDs at clubs. I expect these kinds of kits to become more and more common at US craft stores in the next few years.
