I’ve been really hard on myself lately about every little mistake I make when it comes to my own costume making, so I’m creating a thread of costumes I made mostly or entirely myself. Feel free to ignore, I’ll just be adding to this to remind myself that I’m talented & capable

Bodice for Huntress, patterned, painted, and assembled by me out of scrap materials during quarantine
so proud of how well this fits and I love the color even though the paint is cracking a bit at the collar

Gwen Christmas sweater: hand painted by me
I’m so proud of how this came out and I would make more if this didn’t take over 50 hours


Still a work in progress with so much left to do, but Anne’s bodysuit: patterned, assembled, and bedazzled with appliqué (is that the word I’m looking for?) hand stitched all by me.
I never have the drive to finish this

Ahsoka: every piece here (other than lightsabers and the plastic bits on the belt) made by me. That lekku is probably the most impressive thing I’ve ever made to date
Debora dress made by me. One of the most poorly constructed things I’ve ever made, but look how cute it is. I spent like $8 on this costume

Very few photos of this, but Daenerys: patterned and assembled by me. Draping this properly without *exposing* was a nightmare
Cinderella: patterned and assembled by me. Can you tell yet that I don’t know how to use premade patterns? This was mostly held together by hot glue
Only a year into knowing how to sew, I made THIS. She’s honestly my pride and joy and I miss the love I had for SW cosplay. Padme dress patterned, hand dyed and assembled my me.
Playboy Spideys group: all designs hand painted by me. I also made all of our accessories but those are kind of garbage
