WIP: October 2015
Lulu: 50% complete I'm finally making some decent progress on Lulu! One of my big tasks for this month was knocking out her base skirt and sleeves. I debated on how to do this. There's some discussion among cosplayers as to what Lulu's skirt and sleeves are supposed to be: separate pieces or a dress … Continue reading WIP: October 2015

You can find more spandex tips in my Spandex 101 series!). … Continue reading Suit Up!
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
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
