Brim Hat Coco is done! I had so much fun wearing her. There's just something so fun about a big hat and a cape. #witchhatatelier

All that's left to do to finish Brim hat Coco. Thankfully short and mostly easy, because I work 10 hour days until the con. I cannot wait to be hanging out backstage with fellow creatives!

I've got my skirt together for Coco! I can't believe I've slept on horsehair braid for this long 😅. If I have time before my deadline I will add beading to the hem, but for now we're keeping it simple. Now to start mockups for the top!
