Toy Story Alien Light Up Headband
Here’s the last part of the Toy Story Alien outfit that I wanted to share — the light up headband! I had actually wanted to make this for San Diego Comic Con, but with all the other stuff I was doing at that time, I just couldn’t get it started, let alone done. But the…

Groovy 60s Charm Patterns Francie for Fashioning San Francisco
I recently attended the Designing San Francisco exhibit at the De Young Museum with the Greater Bay Area Costumers Guild. Everyone was encouraged to wear fashion from the last century. While I had hoped to have another piece from the 50’s I’m working on done in time, I had also recently finished this one so…

Kitty Pryde Casual Cosplay (Self-Drafted) — with Lockheed the dragon backpack!
Time for one of my throwback posts. As in, one of the ones I meant to post ages ago, but just never got around to it. This one is for my Kitty Pryde casual cosplay that I made for Comic Con 2019 and also ended up wearing to the intro party at Costume College that…

Alphonse Mucha inspired costume
If you’re not familiar with Alphonse Mucha, I highly recommend checking out his work. His work is just lovely. In fact, if you think you don’t know his work, you’ve probably seen it but just didn’t realize. Go check it out, then come back here and finish reading. Last summer my costume guild had a…

Child’s Belle Costume
This was the Belle costume that I made for my cousins daughter (first cousin once removed?) a year or two back for Halloween. I used the same pattern McCall’s MP551 that I used for the Cinderella costume I made. Apparently after she got the Cinderella costume, she loved it so much she wanted to be…

Cinderella’s Cape (McCalls M6420)
In the last post, I showed the Cinderella costume I made for my cousin. They live in the middle of the country and I just assume anywhere that isn’t Florida is probably freezing in October at night. So I wanted to make sure she had a coordinating layer to keep her warm. I used McCall’s…

Child’s 2016 Cinderella Inspired Costume
For Halloween of 2017 (I know, I know, some of these posts are WAY overdue), my cousin’s daughter wanted to be Cinderella. Who was I to say no? Also, I was pretty psyched to make her an awesome costume. One of my favorite parts is the back (above). I love the giant bow although it’s…

Glitterdot Running Skirt for Universal’s Minion Run
I’ve got a massive backlog of projects that I worked on over the last year (or two . . .) that I never posted, so I’ll be squeezing those in between more recent stuff. This one here is a set of glitter dot running skirts that I made for the Universal Studios Minion 5K. Courtney…

Pokemon Weepinbell Halloween Costume
As we get closer to Halloween, I’ve got some costume related posts. The first is this Weepinbell Pokemon costume that I made for a group Pokemon costume at work. We decided on Pokemon because there was variety for people to pick something they liked and they could go as complicated as they wanted or just…

Truly Victorian 441 – 1861 Garibaldi Blouse
The next item which I made for the Victorian ensemble for the Dickens Fair was the Truly Victorian 441 – 1861 Garibaldi Blouse. This was probably the easiest and most straight forward piece of the ensemble that I made. I was fortunate that Jill had already made hers (technically twice, since she made a muslin…
