I made really eeeeasy cosplay of my avatar...

I took fabric paints to a black shirt, and mixed red + yellow to make a orange circle with eyes for the Jacked up shirt. ^^;
My friend sewed me some leg warmers.
And I cut up old pants for cast away look. ^^;

Ok... I admit it, I loves me some costumes...

I sew mostly to make costumes. I have a Harry Potter outfit that's I can't find atm; but here's my "not Quite Pirates of the Carribbean" ren fest wear. I made my outfit (right) and instructed my friend on how to make her corset. she made the rest of her outfit (middle).

Hopefully this summer I'll have time to make more pieces.

Awsome good job, i wish i could make something but i trying to lurn. I would really like a sowing machien.

I wish hubby was into going to places we could wear costumes to. I have spent time perusing several costume sites, marvelling at how people can recreate costumes.

BTW, love your friend's dragonfly necklace.

I've made a couple from Simplicity Patterns.




This was a sort of "Fair Maiden" look I was going for the first time I went to a Renn Fest. My then-boyfriend (now fiance!) went as a knight, so it was perfect. Last year I made him a pirate/mercenary costume with black pants, a white shirt, and a blue vest. A lot of people thought he looked like Sam Adams. ^^



Sorry for the size of this one. sweatdrop It's another Simplicity pattern, but this was for Katsucon (Anime Convention). I wanted to try for a "samurai's lady" look, but a lot of people thought I was a geisha. (Hopefully they knew a geisha is truly an ARTIST, not something else!) Still, I'm pretty proud of this. I'd made my fiance a kimono with black pants and a blue top with cherry blossoms on it, and we've worn them to the National Cherry Blossom Festival these past two years.

I do cosplay...but most of my cosplays are closet-cosplays, IE: i take stuff outta my closet that looks "close enough"...i can't afford decent materials atm, due to lack of funds...however, I had ONE costume that was entirely closet, and the only things wrong with it were my shoes(they didn't lace up...i only have brown loafers..) and the style of suspenders I had. other than that, it was spot-on...
