Well it is all set and me and two of my friends are going to our first anime con in a little less that two weeks. We all want to cosplay but I have no idea who to go as.
I'm twenty, 5' 2", blue eyes, skinny build, and my hair is usually red but I have no clues and very little time. It should be simple but could include some advanced sewing as my Mom is very experienced at making clothing and she can help me. I would also like it to be from a series I have actually read/watched.
And if this is the wrong area just move it, I wasn't really sure where to put it.

I can think of quite a few characters- none of them would require a lot of complex sewing (one of them merely has a schoolgirl uniform!) but they would require props so that people would know who they were. For instance-
Shana from Shakugan no shana- schoolgirl uniform with red pendant and sword
Ayano Kannagi from Kaze no Stigma- schoolgirl uniform with huge sword
Luck from Elfen Lied- white tank top, jean shorts and cat ears. And maybe some fake blood splattered on all of it.
Ayu from Kanon- schoolgirl uniform, coat, and backpack with wings on it.
Lavie from Last Exile if you could pull off something like this: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4v4IpVRC_pE/SntoNpkpyjI/AAAAAAAAAFA/Nf55TCcYt4k/S760/lavie-last-exile.jpg Unless you're comfortable with her normal belly-baring outfit.
You could probably also pull off femal Ranma from Ranma 1/2

You could do Ed Wong from Cowboy Bebop, if you can buy/make the goggles.
If this post seems too utterly absurd or ridiculous to be taken seriously, don't.

I'm not sure how appropriate this is, but I immediately thought of Kenshin when you mentioned your height and hair color.

Good thought. She could crossplay Kenshin.

I wouldn't mind crossplaying Kenshin (Rurouni Kenshin is my all time favorite manga), but one of the guys I'm going with might be cosplaying him, also my hair is short so I would have to have a wig and I have no idea where to get one on such short notice.
Hmm, series I enjoy.
Natsume yuujinchou, Fullmetal Alchemist, Cowboy Bebop, Wolf's Rain, Baccano, Durarara, um, a lot of others. Anyway http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Wikiwalker there's my anime list.

If Cowboy Bebop's one of your favorites, the earlier suggestion for Ed makes sense. Easy to do, she has short hair as well, and it's easily identifiable.

I agree with the Ed idea.
Other option is to crossplay one of the twins from Ouran- and just be a shorter version of them (and you can always switch up which twin you are, since they're identical!)

I whole-heartedly endorse any Cowboy Bebop cosplaying.

I'm counting the free time I have between now and the con and it comes to about three days, and I don't mean three whole days, I mean three days added up from hours snipped out here and there. In other words I don't think I can make it. I guess I shall go to the con cosplayless. ;_; stupid job and school.
