Hello and welcome to my corner of the web. I’m Mindy, and I’ve been cosplaying and sewing since early 2012. I created this site to keep track of all my crafty projects and provide advice for other crafters. You’ll find lots of sewing and cosplaying tips, tricks, and breakdowns, as well as the occasional review of my favorite nerdy things. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to contact me using the form below.

Thanks for stopping by!
