Hi! I've done various different character cosplays and have won awards in the past nine-ish years. I'm no expert, but my skills are always improving with each new outfit! Recently completed an entire hand-sewn/hand-made cosplay this year! Feel free to ask me anything!
What is the biggest project you've ever worked on?
My Ayame from Inuyasha cosplay! It took me almost 4 months to put together and buy all the materials. I hand-sewed the whole outfit and even made invisible shoes - though they need minor work to stay on for long periods. I even plan to fix the wig up properly myself since I couldn't find a suitable one.
* I made the top look like her armor but was really just two different types of fabric
* I made the entire fur skirt with matching belt to have the two dangly bits on one side
* I made both fur cuffs with string-laced corsets
* I made both fur leg warmers also with corset ties
* I made the fur cape including sewing in hooks and d-rings into the cape and top straps to keep them together
* I hand-painted wolf-tooth shaped beads to be the proper color green and used bead wire to hold them in place for her cape
* I made the invisible shoes that need work still to improve them
* and I used make-up to place a cut along my cheek like she just got out of battle
