I had a lot of fun at my home con, Naka-Kon, and as I relax with more anime I got to thinking.. Why do I stress myself out to sew my cosplays?
I really don't enjoy sewing. I like embroider, because it's something my whole family knows. And, yes, sewing is something that was handed down in my family. But, I don't really like to do it. Especially for something that needs to be in public. Maybe my mind will change when I'm on my own and not having to deal with outside distractions.. But, I realize when it come to cosplay, I prefer to style wigs and work on props.
Two things I don't really do often because I panic easy.
I may go back to buying my costumes or commissioning them. But I think I'm going to put more effort into making props and armor and things that don't require me to do more than some split stiches.
What about y'all? Is there a part of the cosplay process you really prefer to do? Makeup? Just wearing it, no work? Let us know!
