I get my materials from all over the place, but my favorite by far is Hancock Fabrics. Reasonable prices and the employees there are just amazing. (I promise I'm not getting paid for this!) We decided on a match set in colors for the kids' RenFaire costumes in shades of blue and gold. I'm going for reds and golds, mostly so I can reuse my Red Riding Hood cape and save cash. The little white squares pinned to everything are my labeling system. I'm making six costumes and my sewing space isn't that big so I have to stay organized, especially since so many pieces use a lot of the same fabric (I bought FIFTEEN yards of black broadcloth).
Hello All! I am starting this blog to kind of document my triumphs and failures as I get into the world of seamstressing and cosplay. I've been sewing since I was 8 years old. I started out hand sewing clothes for my dolls from scraps of old clothes. I've been making clothing on and off since. I recently decided to seriously pursue harder clothing and accessories. I do make and sell custom pieces, but that's not what this blog is for. Message me or go to my site for more information.
