Majora’s Mask was the first Zelda game I ever played, and its definitely my favorite. Of all the weird, sad stories, the Anju and Kafei quest-line got to me the most. My friend Sarah Shortcake also feels the same way as me, so we decided to cosplay the couple! This is the first male cosplay I’ve ever done, so it was really a fun experience!

Sansa from Game of Thrones! This was a super quickie project I made on a whim with materials I already had. I really wanted to test out the new Simplicity pattern as soon as I saw it.
The construction is pretty straightforward, I stuck mostly to the pattern. Its made from lavender silk dupioni, a generic gold brocade for the sleeves, and leftover lace for the side designs (I actually painted the lace gold), and linen for the inside of the roses. I did have to make the sleeves more form fitting, and also changed it to a lace up back. I also did lining (old bedsheets) instead of the facing in the pattern.

More detailed construction notes and pics tbd, but this is a late 18th century polonaise style gown. I drafted the pattern from the book, The Cut of Women’s Clothing.

Things have been a little slower than usual on the costume front for me lately, considering I just moved across the country! I’ll be catching up with costume write-ups at some point, but in the meantime here is a simple project I did recently.
I have a new apartment, and of course with spaces to decorate! While shopping I remarked that throw pillows are really expensive these days! Then remembered I can sew that kind of thing myself, duh. :P
So I found a Joann’s and picked fun decorator fabrics from the remnants section. Remnants are a great way to save money on this kind of thing! They are usually 50% or more off, less than a yard but more than enough for pillows. I also got some off-white muslin and super cheap polyester stuff to make inner pillow cases. If you want your pillows to be a bit smoother, making the pillows first out of cheapo fabric helps. You just use the nice fabric as a case instead. If you are on a budget and don’t want to buy extra material like zippers and buttons for closing the pillows after stuffing (because you know you have to leave a slit open to stuff them, right?), you can just pinch it shut and sew it closed or hand sew it closed for a more seamless look.

This commission is based off a fanart called “The Legend of Link,” where Zelda is wearing a purple tunic with Link’s weapons, but with parts of Zelda’s armor. This was really fun to make! (This is the image they gave me, I’m not sure who the artist is. So if you do, let me know so I can credit!)
The tunic and hat are purple faux linen, and I embroidered (straight stitch on a regular machine) the patterns from Link’s Twilight Princess design. The belts are brown pleather with pre-made antique brass buckles. The armor is craft foam with Worbla formed around it. The swirls are strips of craft foam glued to the armor bases first. I love how Worbla can cover such detailed surfaces, this is a great example of what it can do! I painted with “24k gold” spray paint, detailed with acrylics, and sealed with resin. The pauldrons attach with strong magnets, and the bracer attaches with pleather straps and d-rings.
