Here's what I'll be presenting:
Patterns Lie! And Other Useful Sewing Facts
Friday, June 25 @ 4PM EST
Learning to sew can be daunting, especially if you’ve never had formal instruction. We’re here to help! In this panel, we’ll cover selecting and reading a pattern, choosing fabric, cutting, pinning, sewing, pressing, finishing hems, and more — all without complicated sewing terminology! You’ll be sewing like a pro in no time. Bring your questions!
What's the Difference Between Writing a Novel and Short Story?
Sunday, June 27 @ 1PM EST
Besides the obvious length issue, what are some things you need to consider when writing a short story versus a novel? Join SC Parris, AC Greenlee, Alena Van Arendonk, and Arden Powell as they walk you through the differences.
How to Create Believable Worlds and Characters
Sunday, June 27 @ 4PM EST
There's nothing worse than reading a story or running through a D&D campaign where the characters have paper-thin personalities or the world simply doesn't make sense. Join Alena Van Arendonk and Cathy Camper as they walk you through how to write good settings and characters whether for a book, video game, or your latest D&D campaign.
It’s free! It’s online! It’s this week!
CasaCon is almost here! Join ASIHTB for these panels:
Friday, 5:30PM EST - Featherweight Armor - It’s possible to make great costume armor without investing in metalworking or risking toxic chemicals! We’ll cover alternative armoring for historical and fantasy costumes, using a variety of inexpensive, readily-available materials.
Saturday, 1PM EST - A Panel on Cosplay Judging - Interested in entering a cosplay competition? Join us for a round-table discussion of the judging process! Learn what craftsmanship judges want to see, what you should bring with you to your judging appointment, and get some insider tips on how to present your costume to best effect.
Sunday, 4:30PM EST - Cosplay Pics 101: Posing For Cosplay Photos - Want to look better in your cosplay photos? Want to make quick hallway snapshots look as good as a staged photoshoot? It’s possible with a little posing practice! Learn the secrets of creating flattering and dynamic poses for any character, as well as how to use setting and props to best effect.

Live stream of Makeup For Costuming today (June 12) at 4PM EDT!
If you’re wondering why I’m posting a collection of pictures of my face, it’s because I’ve just finished updating my Makeup For Costuming panel! I will be presenting the new version live via Discord from 4 to 6PM Eastern today for CasaCon (it’s free! Sign up for full access). This will be the full two-hour panel we do at cons, covering everything from simple tips to help you look better in photos, to creating specific character designs, to building special effects like scars and prostheses. It’s beginner-friendly, but also contains broad topical coverage for more advanced cosplayers. I’ve even slipped in a few examples from movie sets I’ve worked on.
(Due to some photos used by special permission and not approved for online publication, this panel will NOT be available online after the live stream.)
