DragonCon Countdown: 28 days! Seam Ripper, dear Seam Ripper, I would be lost without you. I would have no clothing without you. I would also not learn to sew without you. You allow me to make all the mistakes I want and still be able to undo them. Sometimes I feel like I spend more […]
Olivia and Juliet’s Princess Dresses
DragonCon Countdown: 29 days! Juliet in the original design I’m passing on my love of all things nerdy and Disney to my girls and have been spending so much time making clothing for myself, I figured I could pause and make some clothing for the girls as well 🙂 My mother-in-law gave me an adorable […]
The new Fabric’s Here, The new Fabric’s here! I’m Somebody Now!!
DragonCon Countdown: 30 days!! So I’ve been dreaming/scheming for months about new clothing. I’ve been wanting to add more shirts to my wardrobe, one’s that are work appropriate but also have some hidden nerdiness to them. I love many of the fabric’s I see at Joann’s that have nerdy designs on them, but some of […]
Ms. Frizzle Earrings and 1 Month til DragonCon!!
DragonCon Countdown: 31 days, only 1 month left!!!!!!! This year I am planning to reuse my favorite outfit and the one that started my love of cosplay at DragonCon back in 2014, Ms. Frizzle from the Magic School Bus! I love Ms. Frizzle, books and show, and figured I could pull it off with my […]
Wonder Woman Inspired Swimsuit
DragonCon Countdown: 32 days!! Ok this outfit isn’t officially for Dragoncon but nerd inspired nonetheless and necessary for the beach this weekend. A couple weeks ago, I was at my in-laws pool wearing a bathing suit that I bought soon after having Olivia, and went down the slide (my favorite part of the pool) and […]
Scarlet Witch Semi-Final Touches: Necklace and Nails!
DragonCon Countdown: 35 days!! I am a craft supply hoarder. I can not seem to get rid of craft supplies from projects and hobbies long forgotten, but sometimes that comes in handy! I still own clay supplies and necklace supplies, so I was able to make the necklace that Scarlet Witch wears. I mixed together […]
Makeup for Scarlet Witch
Makeup is definitely not something I have much experience with. In general, my routine involves eyeliner, blush and lipstick. So if anyone has suggestions different from what I’ve tried, I would definitely love hear it!! So I spent lots of time on Youtube trying to get this look. I researched how to do a smoky eye, […]
Making Scarlet Witch’s Gloves
No DragonCon prep for me would be complete without a trip to Eddie’s Trick Shop. I went to the warehouse the other day while the girls were napping, so I’ll definitely have to make the trip back when they are awake. Olivia loves it there, I usually have to talk her out of buying 10 […]
Detangling a Wig :)
DragonCon Countdown: 38 days! I figured that I would just have shortish hair for my Scarlet Witch Costume, even though she has long hair, but I remembered I have a brown wig from being in Beauty and the Beast at my church in 2008. I searched through all my boxes in the attic and found […]
