Construction Details:

Jekka and Nami asked, "If we make you an alligator costume, will you wear it?" The answer, as always, was "Yes". Fast forward to PortConMaine 2005... They had their maid outfits, but only the green fabric for the Pochi costume. They grabbed scissors and I took a stapler out of the trunk of my car. It was assembled in under 2 hours with staples, some insulation foam, masking tape, and duct tape.

In early 2010, to test my new sewing machine, I took out all the staples, sewed the seams, and cut off the excess fabric. It now fits a lot better and doesn't poke me with staples...but it still has the cheesy look it always had. Pochi v2.0 is on the horizon, but Pochi v1.0 (and v1.1) will always hold a special place in my heart.
