It's Halloween season, and I'm totes here to free you from mediocre fabric choices! We're here at G-Tex @gtex_fabrics / @gtexllc with punster @wireheadarts, showing SEW many fabrics!

Oh, and tell the checkout counter people Crafty Sorceress sent ya, and they will give you a small gift!
WIPWednesday is clearing up all of my smaller projects!

First is, my 2nd Yor-inspired face mask!
I am also wrapping up on another t-shirt dress build, inspired by my tech shirts.
Another dress, but this is to test out my bodice block pattern

Lastly, an upcycled/thrifted find!

Yor knows how precious life is, even as one who takes it; Makes sense why she sees the scum of the earth as just the worst, the people who don't value life

New cosplay alert!

FYI the skirt was made out of upcycled totes bags, and I feared that it was going to read too dark and not enough blue. Leave it to dear photog friends to shed enough light on the matter!

My entire last week of progress was for my booth @makerfaire ! So much laser cutting and figuring things out quick!

.
Next, onto another deadline! I gotta upgrade my Momo Ayase cosplay with something I've been wanting for a while: light up earrings!
.

Which one do you like the most?
Would you trust this Yor with your life?

It's so satisfying when it's all together! Here's my booth for @makerfaire , for those who couldn't make it! 
.
I made a space where you can have fun with light-up props, all made by me! I setup props, even ones you can write/draw on, a phone stand, and let you take pictures and play!
I was WAITING to  find a spot to take this industrial embroidery machine class @makernexus
and the wait is over
.
there are far lots of extra steps needed for it, but it's exciting to embroider this badge in prepping for Maker Faire Mare Island, their logo in my color scheme! A great badge addition!

Here's a preview of some potential spots for us at @makerfaire Mare Island , in the Dark room (but in light, haha) We (plus a @wireheadarts on a video call ) met the Maker Relations team, and they were amazing!

We'd be GOLDEN with these spots!

SEW excited for Maker Faire Mare Island! Who's going??
"Oh! It's Okarun!!" - Momo

Her most outdoorsy clothes are bright, neon colors and 90's bomber jackets! So, I designed around her retro style/availability/affordability!

Do you see any differences between the unwashed, machine-washed, & machine-washed+dry fabrics?
.
For my new project, (euni_chobot 's K-pop Demon Hunter's Zoey's magical girl designs) I needed something shiny for her light-up skirt.
.
@gtex_fabrics suggested liquid satin, and here's my wash test!
Don't tell me you also don't gravitate towards shinies!
.
This is part 2 of many where @wireheadarts & I share the amazing fabric store options in the San Francisco Bay area! There are SEW many good things in these stores, we don't need JoAnns LOL
.
Would you buy the Barbie fabric?
Momo Ayase & the KPop Demon Hunters are all magical girls, and I'm all-in that mode for #WIPWednesday ! Working on Momo's skirt!

+ my latest cosplay build, @euni_chobot 's magical girls rendition of KPop Demon Hunters's Zoey. Here's liquid satin from @getx_fabrics that may be good for the skirt!

It's #intlcatday & while I'm still crying over the loss of my baby tiger, I wanted to share cat love in cosplay

He's had a well-worn Sailor Jupiter collar, but he still relates the most to the rage in Attack on Titan. He'd be vicious

if he ever was a street cat &had fighting experience

What a treat to be posing next to these lovely roses in full bloom! It's almost like the rose is a microphone i'm talking to LOL

All credit goes to a lovely show called Martian Successor Nadesico, and the projector that also isn't mine. This show is a delight to watch and has had me saying "OMG" & bursting in giggles
