Completely finished my HnK summer uniform, and just have to put the straps on @doriosaur’s and they’ll both be done 🎉 It’s a really wild concept to me that I’m so ahead of schedule with sewing, so catch me probably not sewing again until the middle of May right before I need everything done LOL #cosplay #wip #sewing #hnk #housekinokunicosplay #landofthelustrouscosplay

Will 2018 be the year I mildly keep this up to date?  We’ll find out, though, I’d like to put the effort into it.

Not a lot of cons planned for this year; ColossalCon in Ohio is really the only free-range con I’m currently going to.  I’ll be at MetroCon in Florida working at an artist booth, and other cons currently are up in the air depending if I’ll be working at them or not really.

Do gems’ understand human holidays, or are these new hibernation uniforms?

Photos from wearing Nils out in the harbor at MAGfest last month!  That’s right. IN, as the harbor was still frozen out a bit Saturday, so we walked probably ankle-deep on the slush and ice for photos with the amazing Maison Hikari 

My favorite part of this costume was making the tunic.  I used @heycutsew‘s Tunic + Hood, and just lost the sleeves and hood, making the already super easy and clear pattern... even easier.  All my work in progress photos for Nils are on Instagram

Sunday night/Monday morning I finished all the sewing for Nils. Happy 2018 LOL Adding the finishing touches to stuff being painted tonight and then I’m freeeee 🎉 #cosplay #wip #fireemblem #fireemblemblazingblade #fe7 #nils #magfest

put in the boning channels and whipped up the back lacing loops/section for #cancer♋ tonight. currently avoiding handsewing again LOL #sewing #cosplay #wip #sakizo

[hibrrrry]

finally, after a lot of procrastinating, I've finished the main build once more... I'm actually really loving the shape this pattern gives-- I added the slight sweat heart neckline. Now to re-add all the little details and I'll be back where I left off previously ✨ #sakizo #wip #cosplay #sewing #diy

remaking this corset because I wasn't happy-- trying a pattern I bought a million years ago to see how it goes as opposed to the one I made myself #cosplay #wip #sakizo

First McCree picture! Despite having a lot of nerves and anxiety about using worbla for the first time, it ended up helping me get back into the groove of costuming again after hitting a slump-- if not solely because it wasn't sewing. I'm proud of myself for being able to do what little bits of worbla parts this costume has, and am excited to work with the material more in the future (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) 📸 @jakediazphotography | #overwatch #cosplay #jessemccree @playoverwatch

Slowly getting back on track with #sakizou Cancer. Wrapping lace up to get the look I'm aiming for with lightening them a little before adding some purple ٩( ᐛ )و #cosplay #wip

Dyeing stuff makes me want to die, haha Working on trying to get the shades of pink I want #cosplay #wip

Did three different timelaps videos of more or less building the base of the corset for sakizou’s artwork of Cancer (astrological sign).  

The first bit is just serging the sides (I’ll do the top and bottom after I cut them to the shape I want) and making sure the front and lining pieces are the same size to make matching them up later easier.

The second is actually building the front (and me realizing I lined half of it up wrong), cutting off when I started taking it apart to save time. 

The third is the lining as well as laying the front and lining together to mark their matching points (for boning placement), as despite earlier efforts, nothing ever lines up perfectly at 2am.

I really enjoyed doing the timelaps videos, just because I know actually streaming me working isn’t something I can so much do because there is a lot of stop-and-go, as well as I watch/listen to things while I work that I don’t really pay attention to, and can sometimes work for super long periods of time as well as get really vocal in my thoughts about sewing, haha.  Along with apps like Instagram and Snapchat, it’s a really easy way to document work while also showing the actual process of getting to those #wip pictures.
