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. …

Tenth Doctor Vest

I have been in"vest"ing a lot of time lately in sewing. I figured since I had things set up to make masks, I should get working on the Fangirl's outfit. I finally got to the Tenth Doctor's vest! After making the Fourth Doctor's vest, this was a breeze. It was just a case of cutting …

Casual/Closet debate

Recently I decided to see how most people defined "casual cosplay". It is confusing and debated and a mess. The reason was I wanted to add a new category on here and wanted to use a non-debated term. That is why I'm adding the "Comfy Corner". I realized that I have done a few cosplays …

Marcon 52 Success!

I got home earlier from Marcon 52. I'm tired. I'm ready for a nap. I am so happy! It was so much fun seeing friends, going to panels, geeking out, and wearing costumes! I deviated slightly from my original plans. I realized I don't have appropriate black pants that fit for "Barcelona" Ten. So I …

Marcon 52 plans!!

I just realized I never posted about Marcon last year. So to make up for it, here are my plans for this year! Friday: Tenth Doctor (Barcelona). I'm moderating the Doctor Who panel that day, so of course I have to be the Doctor. I feel like it's "Barcelona"s turn to come out and play, again. …

Shopping Plans

Work is coming!

The semester is winding down, which means I'm going to have three weeks of time to get work done. And I've been watching things that are really getting my brain in a costuming mode. Last week, I watched Cosplay: Crafting a Secret Identity! and of course I had to do something. Thankfully that led to finding …

DW Fabric Shopping!

I noticed I had some really great coupons for Jo-Ann's and decided to take advantage of them. Unfortunately, as usual, I arrived to find most of what I wanted already on sale. But I got really lucky anyway. I was looking for fabrics I needed to be able to finish up both my Doctor Who Fangirl …

Post-Con Inspiration

Every time I go to a convention, I come back inspired to get working on some costume. Sometimes it's a completely new costume. Sometimes it's costumes I'm already working on. This year, for once, it's the latter. This DragonCon I was only in costume for about half a day. I decided not to do the …
