Thank you so much to everyone who attended my workshop on Saturday and my panel on Sunday and listened to me talk about all things patternmaking! I had the most delightful audiences for both days - thank you so much for your thoughtful questions! I hope you had as much fun listening as I did presenting.

So incredibly proud to cheerlead Maggie’s work on this. She’s been working on a library of skin tones to be able to print mesh, for ALL skin types, and is at the stage she needs community feedback about whether the range is okay or needs further expanding. If you’re heading to Supanova this Saturday and are willing to lend us your arms, I’m going to be helping shade match as many people as we can!

Hey Cosplayers! Maggie from Lumin’s workshop here. Over the past few months I’ve been working on a concept for a product that is 99% nearly ready to go. But here is where I’m reaching out for community feedback and help. If you are coming to Supanova Melbourne this Saturday. We’re putting out a call out for anyone willing to lend me a hand (more so your arm) for 2 minutes for me to snap a photo. This is where it might be a sensitive topic. I am hoping to create a colour matching system to produce skin tone matching mesh fabric what can match anyone and EVERYONE. So the more diverse the photos and feedback is, the better the end result will be.

If you are willing to give us 2 minutes of your time, me (with the red hair) and will be stationed outside Supanova after 11am, hanging around the carpark holding a piece of fabric.

Thank you in advance! 🥰

P.S. we will also be carrying candy ofc

Phenomenal news! Paul Tazewell’s work on Wicked was exceptional, and it’s been a professional joy getting so many peeks behind the curtain with his almost unprecedented level of sharing the production online in various states of completion, letting us all delight in how things were made 🥰

"Wicked"costume designer Paul Tazewell is the first Black man to win Oscar for best costume design

This weekend I volunteered to NPC for a LARP a friend was running and it gave me a wonderful excuse to get out my period garments! It’s been so long since I’ve got into full corsetry and cage crinoline, and almost as long since I’ve had such a lovely photo of me working taken! (I had to repair a loop for the waist tapes).

The fit has changed on me a lot since I made these garments, mainly because I’ve lost a lot of size in my arms leading to a little gaping at the top, hence the out of period chemise, but I’m trying to give myself grace ☺️

Same same but different - got together with some other lovely cosplayers to help advertise Crunchyroll Expo Australia 😘 have you got a ticket for this weekend’s sold out event?

You can find us in page 7 of the Herald Sun (I know) today, and at the con over the weekend!

I know you’ve all seen my Yang cosplay before, but I think her bright colours really work for the fun feel of CRX 🧡

Fae propaganda. I love the use of the moiré fabric to look like wood grain!
