Staff work!

Yesterday I was able to stop by Menards and get a few things to help me get closer to done for Headmaster Pirogoeth. I picked up a 1" diameter 6' long dowel to be the base of the Staff of the Magi! That's the standard size for a quarterstaff and most staves in D&D are …

Call me, beep me….

I've officially started working on Kim Possible. I ordered this yesterday and it arrived today: It's a Fox Outdoor Military Belt in khaki. It's a little more green in person, which makes it even better. I had found possibly the same thing at another site for a good price. But this one came down to …

Animated Plans

I was going through my spreadsheet, looking over what I wanted to get finished and realized I have a list of costumes that only need a little bit to nudge them into finished! And so many of them are animated. First up is Danger Mouse. He'll likely be a gijinka version, but I really only …

Post-DragonCon 2023

Whew. That was a lot of fun! Granted, it's taken until today for me to no longer feel completely exhausted. But it's nice to be awake again! DragonCon was great this year. I got to debut the Sci-Fi Fangirl's Doctor Who outfits and they were really comfy. Granted, I had a thought of how to …

DragonCon 2023

Things are set for this year's DragonCon! Soon everything will actually be done, but thankfully what is left is small and easily finished before the end of the month. Thursday is "Barcelona" Tenth Doctor. It's not a complicated costume, but it's also not exactly a great the middle of heat and humidity in Atlanta costume. …

Shift and Click

I have been trying to get my 20th Century and 21st Century Doctor Who outfits finished for my Fangirl for DragonCon this year, since Doctor Who has a 60th anniversary this year. But bringing the 14th Doctor into the mix, and the outfit, has thrown me off. Then I realized the thing that was staring …

Doctor Who Fangirl plans

It's 2023. It's the 60th anniversary year of Doctor Who. That means all Doctor Who for conventions this year. Luckily I have three Tenth Doctor costumes finished and ready to go. The problem is neither Doctor Who Fangirl is ready to go. The 20th Century fangirl is almost done. I just need to get the …

DragonCon 2022

Wow. That was so much fun! It has honestly taken me this long to recover enough to be able to sit down and write about it here. I am really glad I made the costume choices that I did. I think I'm going to have to retire Jane Lane. It seems to be time. If …

DragonCon planning inspiration

With the increased announcements of guests for DragonCon, and the fact that it's a little over a month away, I've been thinking about which costumes to bring. As you might already know, I'm not the cosplayer who needs to bring new costumes to the con every time. I like bringing new costumes when I have …

Robe of the Archmagi: Part 2

Creating that mock-up out of muslin really allowed me to get all the parts sized right before I cut into the various fabrics. And making pattern pieces to make those cuts. First up were the shoulder pieces. I grabbed a piece of acetate to create the pattern from because I could just lay it over …
