Went shopping at JoAnns Fabrics, where they had a sale :D So I bought up some matieral and patterns and got to work that night. It's Been two days of dress making and sewing away on my little sewing machine. Its tons of fun and its the first time I've made a dress. Stay tuned for another Spring Dress and two skirts!

Mini Top hat for Steampunk :D

--

A Miniture top hat for my steampunk costume. Made out of fun foam and material sewn and glued together. All pins are made by me and use to be on my old top hat.

I used to use an actual vintage top hat for my steampunk costume but I don't want to harm it any more since it is starting to show signs of age. Thus I decided to revamp my steampunk costume and making a tiny hat is part one in the process :D

Debut of our hard work on all our Steampunk outfits. We all worked really hard on these, and we were a big hit! we were even shown on the L.A. Weekly website, and The Manticore Soceity's Blog! Much Steampunk Love!

Bleach Costumes, AX '09 and Ala '10

(top) Anime La debut of comepleted costumes. (sans kitanas)

(bottom) Anime Expo Debut of costumes, Grimmjow had no wig at the time. The costumes I made are on the left, modeled by my boyfriend and myself.

----

I hand crafted both of our Bleach Cosplays on with my sewing machine. The wig was styled by myself and my friend Rocky. Grimmjow's mask is made of super sculpy and painted with Acrylics. Ulquiorra's helmet is made with fun foam and hot glue, and is held on by bobby pins.

Grimmjow's jacket has to be modified, since my boyfriend bulked his arms up and the helmet needs to be redone.
