Captain Marvel Cosplay skirt

I made this pretty awesome Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers skirt and scarf in 2 days time! It was kind of a last minute thing for Twin Tiers Comic Con in Elmira on Sat(8/13).

Everything was bought at JoAnn Fabrics and here's what you'll need if you want to make your own:

Blue fabric #400104927188
Red Fabric #400045691254
Yellow fabric- I used yellow symphony broadclotch from another project
Gold Trim #070659745324
Gold Metallic Elastic( or any other elastic that you want) which can be found in the Notions aisle
Star pdf
Pellon 911FF iron on interfacing- as big as your star( i used 9 inches)

Thread: Coats and Clark "Hero Red" and "Monaco Blue"(I think)

also I used this website for reference, which I think I already linked to for my WTNV skirt

I pretty much just cut the red fabric shorter than the blue fabric and sewed it on top of it along the waistline, then put in the elastic. The gold trim was sewn onto the red hemline and then the yellow star was sewn off-center on top of the red fabric and gold trim( about halfway on the hemline so it hangs on tops of the blue fabric)

ALSO KELLY SUE DECONNICK RETWEETED MY PHOTO WHICH IS SO COOL!!

WTNV (cosplay) skirt

I MADE A SKIRT! I'm going to a live WTNV show this week. It'll be my 2nd show and (75+ podcasts later) I'm really excited! I wanted to make a really easy skirt without a pattern for awhile now and after scouring the interwebs for an hour I found a couple sites with some pretty easy instructions. (you can check them out here and here ). I didn't want it to be overly complicated- so no zipper or fabric waistband, but I did want a lining and an elastic waistband. I bought some YaYa Han cosplay brocade (the full cosplay line here ) and some purple lining ( the online picture is a crimson- IRL it's a purple that matches the brocade) from Jo-Anns. I already had some soft 1.5 in elastic from another project( that i haven't started yet...). The last clothing item I made turned out really badly so since I've sewn and learned some new tricks since then, I was pretty optimistic about making this skirt. It seemed really easy while reading it onl...

Farmers Market-week3

This Saturday I think I did pretty well. I was able to sell my Owl(below), which was super cool SOLD! I also sold a heat pack and 2 mini drawstring bags. I haven't seen any coupons yet and I'm really hoping that some come in for the rest of July.

Timmy the Monkey costume project

This is Timmy, the ThinkGeek Monkey On May 24th, I was on my way to see Avengers( for the 4th time ), and as I was looking at my Twitter timeline I saw this: Hey, I'm a crafter! so I read through the article a couple times to make sure there wasn't a a catch and I wasn't missing anything and signed up( all before the start of the previews)! I received an email later that day with 2 choices that I could pick from: Iron Man or Nick Fury.
