Every Cosplay Needs a Pocket!

I love costuming through and through. It's tough! It makes you happy. It makes you sad. It makes you question your sanity. Whatever your motivation, it's your passion, and it's mine too! Story of a Pocket-Sized cosplayer.

Nightmare Moon Kigurumi

This was one of the first kigus I’ve made. It was debuted at Bronycon 2015.

Made with anti-pill fleece, and lined with a starry cotton in the hood and pockets. Also featured are a bunch of little rhinestones attached to the mane and tail.

I’m no Instagrammer, so I’m REALLY bad at taking good-looking, creative photos. But let the sewing marathon begin!!

OMG YOU GUYS. I literally got home from holiday today to find a big box on our kitchen counter. The label says “pajamas ” and I’m sitting here thinking “what the hell, I didn’t order pj’s…” So I open it and INSIDE. OMG GUYS, HOLD ONTO YOUR BUTTS CAUSE INSIDE OF THE PACKAGE WAS THIS GODDAMN HAUNTER KIGURUMI (with Pokeball buttons!) , TWO POUR ME PATCHES AND THE MOST GORGEOUS LETTER I’VE EVER RECEIVED!! All ever so lovingly made by @rage-crafts !! @askspades was of course in on this and had the biggest grin on his face as I opened the package but omg.. BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE! Our amazing friends Sarah and Dave took time out of their days to not only take care of our small menagerie of animals (four cats, two dogs, three rats and a bunch of fish) after they’d finished a long day at work BUT ALSO SPENT HOURS ON THEIR DAY OFF MOWING OUR DISGUSTINGLY OVERGROWN LAWN (cause I’m a lazy shit who hadn’t mowed it for ages, to be honest…) and, AND!! Bought our animals some lovely foods (that they’re now addicted to and don’t wanna eat their boring old food any more, thank you very much :P) and our dogs some new toys!  You guys all mean so damn much to me..(Even if my cats hate me for going away and have accepted Sarah as their new queen hurrr ) You’ve gone to so much trouble over the years to help me, pull me out of sticky situations and be a shoulder to cry on. Sarah, you’re the best mum-friend anyone could ask for. Dave, you’re an absolute delight and a great friend and Pocket, you’re a wonderful, beautiful human being. I couldn’t ask for better friends.. I feel so loved right now.. I’m just…my favorite Pokemon and Decaf’s logo with an amazing letter, friends who are always there when I need them and my pets absolutely love (huge bonus) ..I just..I’m so happy right now ;w; I hope these words begin to show just how grateful I am

Project Fanclub

Had a shoot with inoliimages and siliconlovechild at the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, Colorado. First photoshoot I’ve done in a looooong while, and even though I felt a bit ridiculous and self-conscious, I did enjoy myself and I think the photos came out amazingly! Props to the awesome photographers!!!

Now to lose some weight (oh the muscles that hurt just from my silly photos - cuz goodness knows I don’t move often enough), work on my sewing, and get back out there!!

Pocket, FIGHTO!

Project Fanclub

Needs a quick ironing before I wear it, and aside from a few details (namely the wig), I am done! ^-^ Surprisingly easier than I thought it would be!!
