Miku Sonic Cosplay


2024-04-14

Summer anime conventions are upon us ! For this year, I decided to make the glorious Sonic Miku from Project Diva.

I never had the chance to play those games but I clearly remember coming across this image when I was 13 and losing my shit. What could be better than this cosplay to celebrate my reviving obsession with Sonic and Vocaloid!


So I brought a blue tracksuit. Since it was an online purchase, I couldn't see that the two blue were not the same. And I didn't like how the sweatpants looked on me… Whatever, i was a bit frustrated but i think i can make this work (i actually decided to cut the pants to make a short and it’s a lot cuter and breathier for summer days). I cropped and cut the sleeves out of the sweatshirt. I was oversized so it gave me a lot of fabric to work on the quills and ears !


For the spikes, I used a Sonic plush pattern that I doubled in size. Here the pattern! ... Yeah it’s in Russian lol but I only took the “yxo” (ears) and “иголки” (quills, needles) shapes for this.


yep, that's our boy


I sewed the ears and quills, then did some tests on the hoodie (i will hand sew themwith a ladder stitch). And oh boy i get it now how difficult it is to make something sonic related not uncanny. But I'm happy with the results so far !!!!.


Wig and headmiku are ordered, see you soon for the next part of this project !~

Hello, it's been a while oops ! So back into making this cosplay. Here are the results with quills sewn in... It's not perfect but it looks good from the side, very sonic-ish. I did some finishing touches, re-sewed to the waistband of the sweater, glued the inner ear annnd the top is finished !




Now the hardest part done, here what I did next :

  • made the belt with blue ribbon. I used a wonderful sonic pin as a buckle.
  • sewed loops on the shorts.
  • added on the back of the shorts huge SONIC yellow letters lmao
  • received the secondhand hatsune miku wig mentioned before (didn't clip the pigtails).
  • also brought a secondhand headset with a mic, added pink with a posca.
  • used an old hot pink sports bra.
  • brought white gloves
  • AND LOOK AT THIS BAG I GOT !





Here are the final results !

Sonic ova amiright


I was very happy with how it looked. I got a lot of compliments at the con (I must say, just, please be normal when you ask for photos, especially selfies. It’s already stressful to be in costume showing skin).

Hovewer, the stitching to the quills was going loose at the end. There must be a better solution to sew them, I will try to follow a plush making tutorial next time. Getting real sonic shoes would also help.

If you have any questions (this is my first time making a tutorial), I will try to make something soon here to leave comments !
