Khloe was made for Fan Fest in 2023, I was really excited by creating something interactive and really enjoy the ‘play’ aspect of cosplay. For this build I also challenged myself to thrift materials where possible, purchase from local fabric…
Wicked remains one of my favorite musicals, as a certified theater kid recreating this iconic design has been on my list for a long time. Bringing the dress to life was a unique challenge, stretching both my sewing and my…
I decided to make a version of Sophie that was similar to her costume from the movie, specifically the blue dress (but not the shiny fancy one). I also wanted to add a bit of a twist and personalization to…
Zagreus was a little easier than Meg, but certainly not without its own challenges. It was really nice though to be able to take the learnings from my first Hades build into the second one, and I could even reuse…
Megaera was… a struggle… a lot went wrong and had to be redone over the course of making this cosplay, which is part of why it took me so long (that and of course a general lack of deadlines, starting…
So you’ve found the perfect pattern for your next project but it’s not in the right size, well never fear there are lots of different ways to resize a pattern to get just the right fit. No matter which method…
I’ve said this before, but I really love doing group cosplays. There is something so fun about having a bunch of people running around from the same show, the sense of camaraderie is excellent, so of course when Steph wanted…
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed She-Ra and the Princesses of Power on Netflix. I never watched the original show, but the reboot is delightfully queer, and deals with complex relationships and feelings. It’s a great children’s show! Hands down one of my…

One of the biggest challenges for my Vera from Monster Prom cosplay was to create her snake hair, and I am really pleased with how it turned out. For anyone who is looking to make their own snake wig this…
Monster Prom is a super fun game, full of charming and terrible monster protagonists; but when it came to picking one to cosplay there was no question it would be Vera, who doesn’t want to be the best business gorgon?…
I’ve made a few Assassin’s Creed cosplays, in fact now I have made four; this one in particular was no small challenge and I definitely I went through the many stages of cosplay feeeeelings… from “everything is awful” to “this…
Making Diana Cavendish was a fun sewing challenge, for the most part it was familiar skills but there were a couple of interesting problems I needed to figure out as I went. Overall, I was incredibly pleased with how the…
Marinette is relatively flexible in terms of difficulty, a significant amount of the costume can be purchased or you can choose to make it from scratch. I went with a middle approach, so in this post I’ll give suggestions for…
Vice Admiral Holdo was an interesting challenge in draping and construction, it involved a fair amount of experimentation, and a whole lot of swearing. Deconstructing movie costumes is always interesting, it’s a puzzle process to figure out how they made…
