Like everyone else in the world, I adored Fury Road when it came out in theaters last spring, and I decided I just had to do a Max cosplay… but I didn’t have any conventions coming up. That’s okay! There’s always Halloween! I haven’t gotten a chance to do a full photoshoot yet, what with there … [Read more…]
Last weekend, I went to a great little workshop about e-Textiles in Philly given by Stephanie Vasko. She gave a brief and super-interesting talk about the history of e-Textiles as well as the chemistry behind what makes circuits work, and then we all set about making some simple projects using conductive thread and LEDs. I … [Read more…]
It may not feel like it yet, but summer is on its way at last, and that means breaking out the tank tops, light dresses, and shorts. Now, I love the look of a bandeau under a breezy tank or dress, but I hate bandeaus. They’re not supportive, and they’re constantly sliding down, causing constant … [Read more…]
For Friday of Otakon, I knew I had to choose a very easy cosplay, since Lucina was a pretty ambitious costume with a lot of pieces, especially because I wanted to make her sword. It helped that Chie and Naoto were my two favorite characters in Persona 4, and Naoto’s summer non-school outfit is possibly … [Read more…]
I totally disappeared for two months there. Whoops. To tell the truth, I was kind of burnt out from sewing.

Photos (and … [Read more…]

Other than the previously-mentioned ears, the costume consists of a gown with a belt and a thing I’ve been calling a tapestry that hangs from the belt. It is … [Read more…]
The first real prop I ever made for a cosplay was for my Yukari Takeba (Persona 3) cosplay: a small pistol-like weapon called an Evoker (in the game, the characters attack by summoning spirits called Personas–in P3, characters summon personas by pointing an Evoker at their own heads and pulling the trigger). I followed this … [Read more…]
The Final Fantasy X and X-2 HD remakes came out this week! X-2 is both one of my favorite games and total cosplayer catnip, so in honor of the release, I dug out some old photos of my Yuna cosplays. Hope you like them! Trainer Yuna — Full Gallery White Mage Yuna — Full Gallery … [Read more…]
My second PAX East cosplay is going to be a Flareon cosplay inspired by Twitch Plays Pokemon. My partner is a gym leader in the PAX Pokemon League, and I’ve been a gym leader in the past, so I thought it would be a fun costume to wear while hanging out with the League folks … [Read more…]
