Prepping for @okamicon.com next week by announcing the stacking workshops by @sarahmccostumes.kaiba.online and I! You can learn to #embroider on Saturday and then learn #handsewing and turn it into a bag Sunday!

It’s been a while since I did crewel but I always love it. With the wool threads everything goes so quickly! #crewelembroidery #handembroidery

Day 2 of sewing for #SaveWOT and I’m introducing myself before kicking into gear. I’ve been cosplaying for 11 years after working and studying theatre and costume design. My primary expertise is in fibre arts and sewing, which is what excites me about #WheelOfTime costumes & makes them feel real.

So I’m doing the 30 day #SaveWOT challenge. I have been wanting to get back to my Moiraine costume since it got paused in March due to Life TM. #WheelOfTime has been the most impactful media for me in the last few years, so this is me giving back to the show that has inspired me so much.

Proof that working the problem can get you to a decent fit. Left side is the newly improved fit of the @redthreaded.bsky.social 1860s corset pattern. No longer too big or with my bust wandering sideways. #corsetry #cosplaymaker #historicalcorset

Spent a frustrating weekend trying a new corset pattern. I don’t love it, but I think part of that is it’s a different silhouette. Funny how such a tiny detail can make you feel crappy about yourself. #corsetry #cosplaymaker

I ‘accomplished’ very little by many people’s standards when it comes to creative pursuits in 2024. I ‘only’ finished one new costume. I ‘only’ finished one embroidery project to fruition. I ‘only’ made two new items of clothing for my wardrobe. But in reality, I was spending a lot of it creating.

2024 has made me re-evaluate my relationship with craftsmanship, cosplay, and hobbies in the face of ever-rising pressures on my time and energy. It has broken the last link to an old name, and given me the freedom to think about what I want from my creative pursuits. 📸 by @toodaneasy.bsky.social
