This is broadcloth.
This is Cotton.
Both look the same, right?
no.
Broadcloth, although cheaper, is very thin.
If you are making a cosplay with broadcloth to save money, stop. go buy cotton instead.
People will see through your cosplay.
If you want to use broadcloth, use it for accents/ an over layer as not to see through them.
That is all.
It all starts somewhere.
Last pic is my first try for my Zelda cosplay.
Curling a synthetic wig with rollers and hot water On my blog.
Earlier this week I had a question come into my dash about lightening a synthetic wig that was ordered a little bit to dark. Unfortunately synthetic fibers don’t work like human hair, and won’t work with most dyes (the one exception being Katie Bair’s Synthetic Wig Dye)
This tutorial by Rirukuo is an easy guide to Lightening a Synthetic Wig. From every method I’ve seen and tried, this is definitely the most fool-proof, and the easiest.
Here are a couple more methods for ghetto wig lightening
About as concise as I can make it without being obtuse.

Ever have trouble finding boots in the right color? Tried spray-painting them and ended up with a dry, cracked mess? A fantastic friend recently advised me to paint leather boots (and any other leather goods) with floral paint. This is a spray paint that is light and flexible enough to use on live flowers. Above are the Poison Ivy boots I painted for a friend, which turned out fantastic.
One thing though: Wear them while you paint them, and maybe stretch your foot around in between coats. I didn’t think of this, and while the paint did not crack at all, it started to split where the boots were stretched from walking. Next time I paint some boots, I’ll let you know if I was able to fix this problem.
The paint I used is called Design Master, and you can find it at Michael’s or Joann Fabrics. In the stores near me, Michael’s had a better selection of colors and a slightly better price, but that may not be true everywhere. This color is “Holiday Green.”
Great alternative to spray rubber and plasti-dip or bootcovers, and cheaper than leather paint! Reminder that Michaels and JoAnns both frequently offer 50% off coupons and will match competitor coupons and offers!!
Found this online. Great for those who are drafting hoods.
Hoods are one of those finicky things to draft if you never drafted hoods before.
Example Cosplay: Attack on titan capes
I find this more revolutionary than I probably should, given the number of hoods I’ve sewn over the years. But it’s like world is a whole lot clearer now!
YES YES YES
The shape of hoods are the bane of my sewing existence, thank youuuu~!
happy 4/20 blaze it and praise it. electranepeta adventure-of-a-makara

These kids get 5 dollars from the tooth fairy? I only ever got from 25 cents to a dollar.
To be honest I was expecting these to get really dark and be like “cut out their tongue so they won’t scream at night” or something so I’m glad this didn’t turn out like I thought it would
u ok sarah
There are these little tiny fuzzy bugs that are flying around my pear tree and I kind of want to call them cute but I feel like the second I do someone’s gonna tell me they’re like the spawns of satan and they sting people and kill my trees
Nevermind they’re called “Woolly Aphids” and they’re literal fairies
I feel bad for calling them evil now they’re so frickin cute

PLEASE TELL ME THAT PEOPLE IN BRITAIN ACTUALLY CALL THE USA “THE COLONIES”
Nah, it’s what we call the rest of the world, because most of the time, it’s accurate.
usualy when we say america it’s followed by a sigh and an eyebrow roll
