And I got to read Sonic comics this morning it is truly Saturday

My materia cuff also didn't hold, but I can retry that one another time. Somehow out of all the posing I did for the day, the pic my husband snapped on the way back to the train seems like the best one

This is huge for me vs. trying to cut all these little details by hand, and I never used a laser cutter before starting this costume. The librarians are so helpful and kind and worked with me as I fussed with the settings until I found the right combo.

I did the laser engraving on a Glowforge if that's helpful additional information. It's extremely inexpensive to use at the library and they have a whole system to deal with the fumes. 10 cents per minute of cut time, so it will be maybe $5 by the time I'm done

In case anyone else is trying to laser engrave 3mm high density foam, speed 275 and power 5 works great for me! Used this for the bracer, too. I had trouble upping the power to cut the foam - it kind of burnt the foam/curled it up so I just use the etching as a guide for cutting the edges myself

She's the best! I was so excited when the remake came out, I loved the revamp of her outfit

Here's how the finished sweater turned out! Now I want to make another with all the leftover pieces

Thank you!

Thank you for this detour he is my favorite little guy 😌
