📌 hello BlueSky! 🦋 I’m Heather. I’m a graphic designer by trade and a DMV-area cosplayer who has been making costumes since 2017!

I love documenting my builds, skill-sharing, and making 3D printing less daunting for all! ✨
Lend me your strength 🌸

I will need all the strength as I take on patterning my first ever corset today 😅

sometimes I think about how in my first competition ever I entered with a costume that had a fitted blazer and tailored pants and didn’t press a single seam 💀

contemplating jumping into a half marathon training program next year since I’ve been on my renewed running grind this year, is this a symptom of turning 30 in a few weeks?

Ready to end my little mini-hiatus relatively soon and lock in to start my year + long project 👀

Aerith’s staff is complete! 🌸

How genius are @dangerousladies.ca PVC pipe connectors? This allows me to take Aerith’s loooong staff and fit in into a relatively small suitcase if needed! I’m obsessed

I’ll be wearing the full costume at Otakon tomorrow! 💃

Had a VERY successful evening of painting props and accessories

Feeling the crunch a lil still but making good progress 😮‍💨

Aerith is complete for Otakon! 🌸

This costume tested the absolute limits of my sanity and my sewing machine (no seriously, it broke in the middle of me trying to top stitch the jacket)

I tried to be super intentional about materials, taking my time, durability, and details ✨

Being a cosplayer is so unexplainable bc how can can I sound normal when coworkers ask what I did on the weekend weekend and say I made vectors for anime characters and repaired my 3D printer ☝️🤓

Still processing it tbh but I’m so incredibly excited and honored to receive Best in Show at @awesomecon.bsky.social last weekend ✨💖

This Impa costume was a labor of love for well over a year in the making and I’m so thankful for all the love and kind words ❤️

You know all those gorgeous posts we share? Those are entirely thanks to our Graphics team: Quinn and Heather! They both share a passion for design and have a keen eye for detail. Our socials would look pretty boring without their amazing help.

I was able to use more Japanese than I thought while in Japan!! Perhaps a little too much bc some people immediately began rattling off to me in Japanese and I would just be like ((I’m sorry I’m still just learning))

I have maybe convinced my sister to make (and possibly compete in) a Sakizou with me 👀

I know, I know, not another infamous infographic™ 🤣 BUT this is a topic I think needs to be discussed. So again here's a thread because Bluesky doesn't like 10 image posts. #cosplaymaker

I DO NOT need to be browsing Sakizo designs… and yet 👀
