Sew, Wear Are They Now: Costumes

July 27, 2021

So, I know costumes probably aren’t really that important in a look back at the “wearability” issue, but I thought it would be a sort of fun way to wrap up the Sew, Wear Are They Now series. While I don’t think there is as much information to be gained about my “style preferences” from … More Sew, Wear Are They Now: Costumes

2017 Nationals Skating Costumes

September 14, 2017

While I made many skating costumes for other skaters over the past season, I also managed to make some costumes for myself, because I skated this year!  I was unable to compete the last two years due to a back injury.  While it plagued me this year as well, I was finally strong enough to … More 2017 Nationals Skating Costumes

Simplicity Patterns Fall 2017

August 9, 2017

Simplicity’s Fall line has been announced.  If you are a vintage pattern lover or a cosplayer, this release is fantastic.  So many great additions!  If, however, you are a bit more interested in modern designs and trends, then the options feel a bit reduced from the normal fall line.  There are still some nice coat options … More Simplicity Patterns Fall 2017

New Simplicity Patterns June 2016

June 23, 2016

The latest collection from Simplicity Patterns is here, and I think it is quite good!  They seem to be pumping out quite a few cosplay patterns, and with connections to DC, Marvel, Nintendo, and Doctor Who, it looks like they’ve got quite a few bases covered.  Their every-day patterns aren’t quite as exciting this time … More New Simplicity Patterns June 2016

Frozen Jedi Photoshoot

May 3, 2016

A few weeks ago I posted a lot of construction pictures of the Frozen Jedi cosplay my sister and I did for Wondercon this year.  And, thanks to Justin, Producer of the Geek Say What? Podcast, I now have a lot of awesome photoshoot pictures too!  Enjoy!                 … More Frozen Jedi Photoshoot

Frozen Jedi: Jedi Elsa and Jedi Anna Cosplay

April 19, 2016

  When I first bought a sewing machine, my primary goal was to sew skating costumes (be careful what you wish for, eh?), but the very first thing I sewed was a cosplay style costume for an event in LA.  I was ready to go down the path of being a cosplayer/costume sewer exclusively, but … More Frozen Jedi: Jedi Elsa and Jedi Anna Cosplay

30 Minute Rey Cosplay

February 1, 2016

So a few weekends ago a friend of mine was having a Star Wars themed surprise birthday party.  This happened to be the friend I sat next to at the premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.  So when I found out her boyfriend fiancé was planning her birthday engagement party and asking everyone to … More 30 Minute Rey Cosplay

Simplicity and New Look Patterns Fall 2015

August 24, 2015

The latest collections from Simplicity and New Look are here!  Which would be a bit more exciting if they weren’t so full of pattern re-prints.  It seems as though Simplicity has retired all of their Game of Thrones inspired patterns and re-released them with new covers.  Even some of the New Look patterns have obviously … More Simplicity and New Look Patterns Fall 2015

(Lack of) Sewing Plans 2015

December 31, 2014

Last year I had such grand plans.  I thought I would tackle some of my most coveted designs, have a fabulous wardrobe, and love my sewing life.  Of course, reality was quite different.  The past several years have started with me being excited, optimistic, and rather ambitious with my sewing ideas.  But, well, after a … More (Lack of) Sewing Plans 2015
