Hubby is telling me new things to try. I am going to try something very, very simple next. I’ll think about it next week 🙂

Halloween
I got the cloak made, and the armor finished. I am so happy with the cloak!! I was so worried about making it, but after stressing myself out completely, I did it. Still no sewing machine, it will probably be easier when I get one. The armor didn’t quite turn out the way I planned….
Cloak
I had so many problems getting this started that I almost gave up. I persevered, but it gave me many, many headaches. I got the pieces cut out. Realized I needed to do re-cut one of them because I cut it on the wrong side of the material. Good thing I bought the whole bolt…
Thighs
I thought I had these done, but tried them on, and the ribbon isn’t long enough anymore. I know I didn’t gain weight, so I’m not sure what happened. Had to change the snaps, but I figured it out. I’m sure it’s hard to tell from the pictures what I did, but once I start…
Shins

Armor
Wow, it’s been a while since I updated. I am slack on taking pictures, too. I have a month to finish so that I can wear it on Halloween. I have gotten the material. Not quite what I was looking for, but over half the cost. I cut out the pattern yesterday. Just the pattern,…
My Cosplay beginning
My hubby suggested that I try this because I like being crafty. This is something to do outside, because trying to do my needlework or crochet outside is almost impossible because of the heat and humidity here. I went to the library to see what I could find and I picked up a few books…
Cosplay attaching pieces
I have been trying to decide how to keep my armor in place without having to hold each piece on 🙂 Kamuicosplay.com has a beginner’s book on making costumes that helped me realize that I could actually do this! The Costume Making Guide has been so helpful, and I remembered seeing a way to attach…
Cosplay cloak
I’ve been thinking about putting all the pieces together. I think I need a bodysuit, and a cloak. Hubby thinks I just need a leotard. Wrong!! First of all, it is supposed to be armor so why would I want skin showing. Second, how am I going to get the parts to stay on my…
