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
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

I knew I wanted to make a bag, but I needed it to be … More Gift Sewing: Pink Elephants on Parade

I haven’t really heard how well the gift went over… It’s … More Captain America: Winter PJs
