Cosplay, commissions, and sewing
Completed: August 2014 Hours Spent: No freaking clue. With my previous attempts... Maybe 40 hours? Debuted: Anime-Fest 2014 Why This Costume: I think every Moonie has that one sailor scout that they identify hardcore with. Jupiter was that senshi for me. I won't go too in-depth here, because my fangirl love of Jupiter is absolutely absurd and … Continue reading Costume Notes: Sailor Jupiter
I can't help it. Every time I think "skater dress," this some comes to mind. I know, I'm terrible. It's high school coming back to haunt me. I made McCall's 6754 a few month's ago, and I really like it. Well, I like the dress itself for its comfort, but the fabric is just meh. … Continue reading She’s Just a Skater Girl, pt. 2
Megan over at The Nerdy Girlie took some time to write out blogging confessions last week, and I really enjoyed reading them! She's started a link-up over at the Female Geek Bloggers community on G+, so I thought I'd take a few minutes today to share my confessions with you. Don't worry; I have more … Continue reading My Blogging Confessions

Early in the summer, I finally caved and admitted that I needed to learn how to do a full-bust adjustment (FBA). For those of you who aren't aware, most pattern companies (especially the Big 4) draft patterns with a B cup in mind. If you're larger or smaller, chances are that you'll need to adjust … Continue reading Colette Sorbetto (or, my battle with FBAs)
A few weeks ago, I attended Anime Fest! Anime Fest is held at the Sheraton Dallas, where A-Kon used to be before changing locations two years ago. I only attended one A-Kon at the Sheraton, so it heading back was a bit of a surreal experience. Honestly, it's kind of a shame that they moved … Continue reading A-Fest

I finally cleaned off my cutting table for you guys! Behold, one of my new favorite things: You all know how much I love my pegboard organization system. It's the best. But this cutting table may take the cake. I knew when I moved that I wanted a HUGE cutting table. I spent many nights … Continue reading DIY Cutting Table
Hey everyone! Just a quick post this week. Time really got away from me while prepping for A-fest. I can't believe it's this weekend! Here's what I'm wearing. Friday: Unfortunately, I have a mandatory work meeting the first part of the day, so I'm going casual(ish). For this month's Monthly Stitch, I made an "frosting" dress … Continue reading A-fest Lineup
