I've been running a blog that posts guides for Style Boutique 2 and Style Savvy 3 for nearly a year now. It's never been a place to post my own personal opinions and activities in the game as I keep it limited to guides and tips for the game. So I thought I'd post a sort of play journal on this blog of the game.
One of main things that I drives me mental about playing Style Boutique 2 is the fashion shows. It seems impossible to figure out how to get five star outfits! I've managed to get a few since I started playing in November 2015 but only recorded some for my blog. For the last month of two, I've been trying to get a five star outfit for the Fun and Unique category. And it's taking forever! I've tried so many times with different outfits but four stars is the closest I've achieved.
With fashion shows, the trick seems to be including patterns in the outfit and accessories don't make a huge difference. One of the hardest parts seems to be matching the make-up and hairstyle as well. I'm still trying to work out which sets fall under what themes, not as easy task. The other annoying thing is that you only get one chance per show and then you have to sell tickets all over again and try again.
Here's a little tutorial on how to
make Mabel Pines' Shooting Star Rainbow sweater from the cartoon Gravity Falls. This is a easy project that would be
ideal for a beginner cosplayer or anyone wanting to practice hand sewing. The
entire design can be sewn on by hand and it takes about 1 to 2 hours to make,
depending on how quick of a sewer you are.
Materials:
- Pink sweater or jumper
- Felt in yellow, green, purple & orange.
- Thread in yellow, green, purple & orange.
- Optional: backing for the shapes.
How to make it:
- Download the star & rainbow template here.
- Cut out the star template & cut the rainbow
template into the three different sections.
- Place the templates on the following colours:
Star=Yellow, Piece A= Purple, Piece B= Green & Piece C= Orange.
- Cut out the pieces. You can leave some extra material
on some of the pieces if you want them to overlap each other.
- Arrange the pieces into the shooting star design on the
sweater. A good place is just above the middle. Once you are happy with
their placement, pin the pieces down. Optional: place backing on the
inside of the sweater to reinforce the design.
- Sew the pieces in place starting with the purple piece.
After that, sew on the green & orange pieces. The star is the last
piece to be sewn on.
- Pop on your brand new sweater & solve some
mysteries!
