Just before PAX East this year, I did something ridiculous. I made myself a new bag from a pattern I had never used before just two days before the convention. Starting so late meant I could not order the correct zippers or hardware; I had to make do with whatever I had or could scrounge … [Read more…]
Last summer I decided I wanted to cosplay Marin from Hyrule Warriors Legends. She’s originally from one of my favorite games, Link’s Awakening, and her updated design for the new game is fantastic. This is my second cosplay from Hyrule Warriors Legends, and my first cosplay in about a year! (I will do a Linkle … [Read more…]

I’ve spent hours and hours doing applique on costumes, but Ravio has none of that: all … [Read more…]
I’m working on two cosplays for PAX East: Ravio from The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and Lucina from Fire Emblem: Awakening. I just finished Ravio this week so I thought I would talk a bit about how I made this costume. There are five main components of Ravio’s outfit: the hood, the … [Read more…]
