It kept my shoulders warm, and has made it easier to re-wear this cosplay to even more cons!

This is a small example of self-care, but when we're comfortable in our cosplays we want to wear them more often, and are less likely to throw them away. ⬇️

"my main white cape in the video was upcycled using old wedding dresses. And we also used deadstock fabric for the dancer’s clothes. That's fabric that's been in warehouses for long periods of time. And we also use pieces from my archive; so old costumes are reinterpreted..."

🧵/3 As #cosplayers we are SO GOOD at thinking outside of the box. I love seeing that energy applied to sustainable practices, too 💚

🧵/2 And I'll be using stuff already in my stash: fabric dye, worbla, paint, wires, headband, etc.

ANYTHING you can do, big or small, to add a sustainable practice to your crafting makes you a part of the solution.

For now it's a "I'm using myself as an example" type of blog. But I'm going to keep expanding it, so it can be a resource, too.
