Where Sewing and Geekery Collide

Month: February 2014

Craft Room Organizing

February 27, 2014 by alex Leave a Comment

A few months ago, I decided enough was enough and it was finally time to completely clean up my sewing room. The place was a true disaster, half-finished projects and stacks of fabric lying everywhere, crumpled tissue patterns shoved in corners, boxes of supplies stacked on overflowing shelves. Even getting to the point where I … [Read more…]

Tutorial Tuesday: Solaire’s Tabard (Dark Souls)

February 25, 2014 by alex Leave a Comment

I recently made Solaire’s tabard for a friend; it’s a great project if you’re just starting out with sewing and/or cosplay. Here’s how it’s done!

Tutorial: DIY Hobonichi Techo Planner Cover

February 20, 2014 by alex 6 Comments

Just a couple weeks ago I was introduced to the Hobonichi Techo. It’s called a planner, but it’s more like a combination planner/diary/scrapbook.

Ravio’s Belt and Scarf

February 13, 2014 by alex 2 Comments

Part 2 in How to Make a Ravio Cosplay! Or at least, how I made one. One of the things that makes Ravio’s outfit a bit more complicated than it looks at first is how three-dimensional the details are. I’ve spent hours and hours doing applique on costumes, but Ravio has none of that: all … [Read more…]

First Cosplay of 2014: Ravio

February 11, 2014 by alex Leave a Comment

I’m working on two cosplays for PAX East: Ravio from The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and Lucina from Fire Emblem: Awakening. I just finished Ravio this week so I thought I would talk a bit about how I made this costume. There are five main components of Ravio’s outfit: the hood, the … [Read more…]
