The online cosplay contest are scary to me. They [the judges] do not see all the details or hand stitched parts you have done. All you can do it describe it and hope they can see it in the photo if the image is large enough to begin with. However, most of the time, it…

Sure, well the reason I picked the Doctor was pretty much when I was in college a friend of mine introduced me to the TV show Doctor Who. I watched all the new series as well as parts of the new series. When they introduced Peter Capaldi as the new doctor, I saw an amazing…

So last year when I was with my family over Christmas break, I binge watched Young Justice on Netflix. When YJ first came out I was still super busy with school and never got around to watching it, but after I finally binge watched it I was blown away by how deep the story and…

I actually decided on cosplaying Bob Ross while I was out looking for a mask for a different cosplay and my mom pointed out how this one afro wig just screamed Bob Ross. That was pretty much all it took for me to change plans and buy the wig instead, the rest came together pretty…

After binge watching Dragon ball super, I was excited to see a new females character introduced in the series, Vados. She was shrewd, humorously sarcastic, and possibly stronger than Goku (well at least at the time.) I knew early on that creating Vados would be challenging, because there weren’t any commercial sewing patterns available that…

At a young age I found the original Ghost In The Shell movie, and it helped cultivate my love of anime alongside Inuyasha and Yu Yu Hakusho. She was this amazingly powerful character who was trying to find her purpose, and herself, and at a time in my life where I didn’t know if who…

So, at first Maybel Pines started off as just a simple costume just to provide some more content on mymusical.ly account. I came in to the Gravity Falls fandom right as the series was ending, but I loved how bubbly and cheerful Maybel was during the show. Also this was a stretch for me as…

I am a self taught seamstress, and aside from one class about how to thread my machine back when I was 13 everything else has been a mix of trial and error as well as help from YouTube and fellow cosplayers! My first costume was a crazy mix of spandex and cotton with princess seams…

So my cosplay origin story started back when I was in fifth grade. I was 10 and my mom told me she couldn’t afford to get me a Halloween costume that year. So I stayed up all night being really sad about it and then suddenly I had an idea. So I ran around my…

Once you learn how to make molds and casts in which there’s hundreds of techniques and tons of materials to work with, the most difficult part is actually finding the space for everything and keeping your space clean through proper housekeeping. It’s the most annoying part and the most time consuming part to have to…
