It's been a while since I've done one of these! I'm playing a lot more games these days, so I thought I'd hop back on the bandwagon for this week's post. 1. Final Fantasy X: This is the first video game I fell in love with. As a teenager, I logged close to 300 hours … Continue reading Fandom Friday: Games I Love to Play

Suit Up!
Or: An ode to Kwik Sew 3052. I typically save my commission posts for the end of the month, but since I've been working on several Gotham-themed bodysuits lately, I thought I'd share a few extra tips and tricks on working with them (P.S. You can find more spandex tips in my Spandex 101 series!). … Continue reading Suit Up!
A Tour of my Sewing Space
After almost eight months, my sewing room is (almost) finished! I was really particular about how I wanted my sewing room to look in my new house. I spend a lot of time in there, and I wanted it to be a space that I would really enjoy using and a space that would be … Continue reading A Tour of my Sewing Space
Life According to Instagram: March 2015
Another month from 2015 is officially in the past! I'm both excited and super anxious about that. We're now about 2 months out from some of the big cons in the Dallas area, but that means I only have 2 months to finish up costumes for myself and others! I'm going to binge watch ALL … Continue reading Life According to Instagram: March 2015
WIP: March 2015
Hello, spring! Weather in my area has finally cleared up into something resembling a season between Hoth-like winter and Tattoine-esque summer. I debated on putting up a WIP post this month. Aside from Belle, I haven't done much crafting this month. February and March have been more than a little hectic for me professionally and … Continue reading WIP: March 2015
Costume Notes: Belle’s Ballgown
Completed: March 2015 Hours Spent: About 40 hours spread out over a month Debuted: All-Con 2015 Why This Costume: Belle is one of my favorite Disney princesses.

Pattern Review: TV110

Life According to Instagram: February 2015
Hello, March! Here are a couple of Instagram highlights from last month. 1. I finished Captain Marvel and entered her into the costume contest. I'm still shocked that I won Best in Show! I was so nervous and jittery in my post-contest interview 😛 Unfortunately, weather this month hasn't been cooperative, so I still haven't … Continue reading Life According to Instagram: February 2015
WIP: February 2015
Another month of 2015 is nearly over! As I write this, North Texas is in the midst of a last-minute winter freak out. There's almost 3 inches of snow covering my yard and it's supposed to continue throughout the day. That's as good of an excuse as any for a craft weekend/binge session of Arrow! … Continue reading WIP: February 2015
Sewing Rejects
Happy Friday the 13th/Galentine's Day/pre-Valentine's Day! Today's post was inspired by a non-cosplay sewing session yesterday. I've been eyeing the Oslo pattern from Seamwork since it came out a little while back. I have a mild addiction to cardigans (19 and counting), and I love the idea of having a TNT cardigan pattern that I … Continue reading Sewing Rejects
