Hi!!! I'm the Joppmaster Webmaster. You can just call me Mary! Here you'll find mostly my projects and personal content. I bet you're wondering what Jopping is. Well, first off, it's a song and a dance move combining Jumping and Popping. Most importantly, it's mainly just used as a silly word meaning something is good. I kinda started an inside joke about it in my calculus class and I was like "What if I bought Jopping.net?" So I did, and the rest is history!!

I don't want to say too much about myself, because I'm saving most of it for the about page. Some basics are that I'm 21, from the United States, and go by She/Her. I'm Wasian, like metal and NCT, play DDR and Pump It Up alot, and I like drawing and sewing.

Jopping V2! September 22, 2026

On top of having a lot else going on in my personal life, I didn't make many changes to this site the past few years. A lot of it was due to my limited knowledge of CSS. I just sat down and learned CSS for 2 hours because of my internship, and finally understood how to code. Because of that, I was able to make my site look like it was always supposed to! I'll be getting to the other pages eventually.

Making a Cosplay for Halloween

I've very much lost interest in cosplay for the past three or so years, but it would be ridiculous for me to not showcase my sewing skills on campus for Halloween. In terms of Reimu, I just kinda listen to Touhou music in rhythm games. I don't have a whole lot of supplies or space in my dorm, so Reimu was something very doable in a short amount of time. The only pattern I had to design was the collar shape. The rest of it was super easy. I did it without drafting to get it done as fast as possible. Ending up looking really cool, and was one of my cheapest projects.

Finally Sewing Something Again

While I've made several stuffed animals, a lolita dress, and various small things this summer, I never ended up making a full design until the very end. Initially, I became obsessed with this purple jacket you see here, but I couldn't find any material that I liked enough to continue it. Ironically, the two best designs I have made were created while waiting for materials to make other jackets I never ended up making. This one is the same

NCT 127 wear these jackets for "Kick It", and they are red in the music video (you can even see Taeyong wearing one on the bottom of this page). However, I already have a red bomber jacket, so I decided to make this yellow varient they wear for a few stage performances. I opted to use a raincoat material, because it was the best shade of yellow I could find, as well as a decent material. Plus, I have a bad tendency to make things not very weather-friendly. I initially ordered a snake-skin vinyl online. However, when it arrived, it had all these cancer warnings on it and was plastic wrapped on a roll. I made the decision to throw it away. Because I needed a really small amount of the fabric, I just found a snake-skin shirt on Amazon and cut it up. The snaps were a pain to put on, as I've never done it prior, but I much prefer the look of snaps as opposed to zippers on jackets. I made sure to use a nice, heavy lining to make the jacket warm. This is undoubtedly one of the best things I've made.

Making a Custom Stuffed Animal (July 18th, 2023)

I'm sure you've seen the little character on my website. Basically, it's a fanmade character for the idol Taeyong of NCT, which my website is dedicated to. Tyongya, the character, is pretty much exclusively in plush form. It's hard to get them overseas, especially the full size ones. The 10cm ones go for like $50 or so here!! I really like to pride myself in the fact that I believe I can make anything if I want to, so I figured I would just make a stuffed animal of him from scratch. Here's that process, and it actually ended up being really funny.

Despite having a pretty extensive knowledge of drafting jackets, traditional clothes, and skirts, I did not have any knowledge of stuffed animal making. I understood the basic process of making darts, but that was it. I figured that once I got the shape right for the head, I could just slighly alter it for the body. Well, after sewing the first pattern, I think I laughed until I cried. The long one you see here was the first attempt. The next few attempts still looked like Family Guy characters. Eventually, the got less footballish and I got close to what I wanted. Next was the body. I had a rabbit stuffed animal pattern already, and I figured I could use a similar body shape. Unfortunately the weight of the head made it so he was unable to sit up on his own. I experimented a few times with leg and arm lengths and had a growing collection of Tyongya husks on my ground, but I got the pattern finalized and made him! I also made him a purple hoodie, and that was its own challenge, because he doesn't have shoulders, ha ha.
