Cosplaying on a Budget

I got a lot of inspiration for making aprons by looking at table runners at TJ Maxx. You can find some nice heavily machine embroidered and beaded fabrics to modify for cosplay or fashion. Don't forget to check out the tree skirts too!

Been awhile since I've posted but I'm looking to become more active after a healthy mental health hiatus. Here is some lovely Violet Evergarden content. Photo by

@sgt.fluffybuttcorgi wore his Magic School Bus costume, that I made him last night, to the #dogdaysofsummer event at @straighttoale. He placed in the costume contest and had an amazing time hanging out with the other doggies. #corgipup #corgipuppy #cutecorgi #corgis #corgisofinstagram #corgisincostumes #pembrokewelsh #pembrokewelshcorgi #puppyplaytime #corgipuppy #corgi #dogcostume #magicschoolbuscosplay #magicschoolbus https://www.instagram.com/p/B1m_kGijdnu/?igshid=1qelk2wb1t489
