With the impending demise of JoAnn, I want to remind people again about using Pellon Tru-Grid for pattern drafting. I rarely see people mentioning using it.
In my opinion, it's better than using paper (e.g. butcher, spa/doctor, wrapping, newspaper, printing) since it's polyester.
Reasons to ❤️ Joann's:
- For many of us, it's the only in-person accessible option.
- Great for beginner cosplayers to see and touch fabrics in person to better understand them.
- Expensive? Take advantage of their coupons in the app, mailing lists etc!
🎉 Gear up because we're thrilled to announce that we're cosplay guests at @animeimpulse OC Sept 2nd and 3rd! 🎊
We won't have a table this time but we will be walking around and enjoying the con!

Fabric store masterlist!
Please feel free to chime in if you have additions or if you have experiences with any of these sellers. I haven't purchased from many of them myself, these are just names friends gave me when I asked for online sellers.
Hey, Zelda cosplayers- Let me save you a little time hunting for cosplay materials!
The beads in her earrings are very similar to a type of decorative bead used in some Buddhist prayer beads.
They are easy to find online by searching 'Lotus Bodhi Seed Beads'

Someone asked me if judges actually look at build books/documentation, and it's something I was actually paying particular attention to during Sak. So... 🧵
Hello, hello, hello! It’s Yun Jin build thread time. I made her for ALA 2023 and even though imo she’s not 100% complete, I still love all the details I made for her. ☁️🌸
I lastly glued the braids into the wig and wrapped both ends in soutache so I could sew the bows and tassels to it. Also, I used the leftover purple dye bath to ombré dye some tights for Yun Jin too! I also dyed a backup pair just in case the first pair got damaged.
