Brilliant work! That looks really awesome, I can't wait to see you wear it! What's still missing though, it looks ready to me (minus the collar fastenings)?

some turkish yarn, called, Alize, 100% acrylic

Brilliant work! That looks really awesome, I can't wait to see you wear it! What's still missing though, it looks ready to me (minus the collar fastenings)?
there is going to be a black around the while on the collar

and the fastening, however I could not find a good one anywhere for that. so I will try to use the left over yarn to make something, because I don1t know where to find any good thing. like they are not even selling such thing.... I am not good at looking for stuffs anyway.

Hmm. The places you can usually find metal fastenings like that are either fabric or yarn stores, or any place that sells buttons. All my sympathies though, it's so annoying when all the places you check don't have anything suitable for what you want to make. I've had this problem several times when making cosplays here in Iceland, there just isn't enough variety and certain materials don't exist here at all.



Meanwhile I'm starting a new cosplay project and have just bought the materials today. You can probably guess what's going to happen. :D

yeah, I could not find any good one at all, I checked few, they all has same, but not even looking how it would be the best.
then I googles hoping maybe online I can find one, I found kinda one online how it was a handcraft one, which is suuuper expensive just to buy one.... so I decided to do something with yarns, braiding it or something.

I am also trying to find cheap stuffs
tomorrow hopefully me and my friend can continue our emil and Sigrun uniforms, tomorrow maybe I would post some photos.

If they have them in your area and you have the time, yard/garage sales are a great place to go for stuff like old buttons. It takes a bit of searching and you're never guaranteed to find anything, but you can find lots of cool things to work with if you look long enough.

BUT the problem is the DO NOT HAVE anything. I checked more and different shops, but they had ONE thing which is not even looking what I could need and they seemed to not have or never had anything different or something.

I think garage sale is something american, because I have never heard of such thing in my country but seen it a lot in american movies.

online search made me found more then 10 times more expensiver stuff, and mostly those even had diamond or pearl or other expensive stones on them, but I don't need that.

Ah, yeah I had a feeling that garage sales weren't something that people do everywhere, but I figured it was worth a shot. I do hope you find what you're looking for eventually, though!

It looks really good!

Don't give up on finding suitable clasps; you can also check hobby shops or shops selling stuff for jewelry making.

(by the way, there are more and more garage sales in our country, but I think these kind of treasures are more likely to appear at flea markets or fancy vintage markets)

I think the ones on Sigruns sweater are some kind of tin/pewter clasps. If you google "hekter tinn" or "tinnhekter" you should get to some places that maybe, hopefully ship to Budapest? 
I found these:
http://www.perlehuset.no/butikk/knapper-naler/tinnhekter-tinnknapper
http://www.nostenett.no/categories/knapper-tinn-knapperhekter
(In norwegian and prices are in NOK, I don't know if they are helpful or not)
