Sort of cosplay – Maria
By Stacy on November 9, 2019I am calling this a “sort of” cosplay, since I just didn’t have the energy to source all the matching materials and fabrics for this to be a full on cosplay. I still put plenty of time into it…don’t get me wrong. Here is the character: Maria from the Assassin’s Creed movie. She is an […]
In my editorial photoshoot I did for the Fabric Anthropology Fashion Week line, I made my headpiece. I was going full on gothic with this outfit, so a headpiece with feathers was a must. I WAS NOT trying to create a caricature of a tribal headpiece, which in my research I did not find one […]
My little assassin
By Stacy on October 4, 2017The girl has been reading the Sarah Maas series where the lead character is basically an assassin, though she becomes a leader. (I think…she tends to get wordy and unfocused when she explains it all). This year she wanted to be an assassin in going to the Renaissance Festival and for Halloween. That works fine […]
Twig and Tale Tour: An easy upcycle
By Stacy on February 20, 2017I was invited to participate in the Twig and Tale Tour for upcycling, and of course, I said yes. Then I remembered I had tweens, and not cute little people that didn’t voice their opinion. I love their Wild Things add-ons. Talk about adorable! I so wish I could have done that with this tour, […]
Guest post – Stylin’ Stacy – Cosplay Costumes

The costumes I tend to make these days are centered around cosplay characters. They serve dual purposes as my kids wear them to a convention in the spring and […]
Final pictures of the costumes at the local Renaissance Faire.
This costume has been an agony of time in getting it finished. I have not had the time I would have liked to devote to all of the details in making it. I feel bad that I didn’t get their swords done for the Geralt and Ciri costumes, but something’s gotta give, Man. Momma works […]
Steampunky
By Stacy on June 15, 2016Here is the outfit that I posted over on Craftingcon.com for their wearable Steampunk challenge. I thought I had already put it up over here, but guess not! I ended up using some pieces that I had previously made this year, along with some new multi-purpose pieces. The first piece in her outfit is a […]
Ciri cosplay – Top and Pants
By Stacy on May 8, 2016Another spring…another cosplay. Today I am showing the pants and top for the Ciri cosplay. This is Ciri from The Witcher 3. She is a warrior. She wears a lot of leather. To start I made her pants out of a faux leather apparel fabric. They are supposed to be leather and are cut in […]
