I wanna see your Jyn cosplay if you're willing to share! I want to cosplay Jyn so bad but I have zero sewing skills. Much respect to you for attempting it!!
this is the third time i’m typing this bc tumblr keeps conking out but i will PERSIST
thank you to everyone for showing interest you guys r really kind :,) much love
so i started researching/resourcing this cosplay towards the end of last year, and right now i’m in the middle of the vest and the blouse. it took me about six weeks to pattern the vest - there was a bunch of research involved plus it was my first time making my own pattern! but im so so proud of it. i don’t have a good pic on me but here’s a clip of it before i added seam allowance to the front.
here’s a picture from a bit ago that shows the seam allowance added to the front of the vest
and here’s the blouse fabric after i dyed it!
i actually tried speedrunning the blouse the other day bc i wanted to wear it to disneyland which im going to for the first time soon!! unfortunately i didn’t get it done cos i had an extremely unrealistic timeline LMFAO but all the pieces are cut and i started assembling it on my mannequin:
also more purple on camera lolol.
anyway that was a LOT so thank you to anyone who got through that!!!! i’ll update you guys when i next make progress. thanks so much for being cool
Gutted to be selling this but it has never fit and needs a better home! I’m out of work atm so every penny helps.
All details are in the listing and I will post internationally from the UK. This jacket was exclusive to EMP/Hot Topic in 2016. Please share the word to help me sell!
look what i’ll have available soon!!! itty bitty guys!!! i’ll have these online soon but ALSO if you happen to be at emerald city comic con this saturday i’ll be (very casually) cosplaying as jyn and will have these to hand out :)
feeling sad over things today so i said fuck it and bought my tickets to swc next year and now i am feeling significantly less sad because i have something to look forward to in the not so distant future
two weeks ago maybe? i’m ok just been under a lot of stress lately. so i’m super grateful for this little community bc you guys are always here for me to come back to :) thank you

11. What are your hobbies?
im a raging creative so writing, drawing, sewing and performing are like bread and butter to me. over the past few years ive gotten into acting and i started taking singing lessons which has been awesome! but anything got to do with fanworks is just amazing to me. i got into cosplay and making my own cosplays about a year ago, and im currently in the middle of a jyn one! id be happy to share if anyones interested. i probably will either way lol

my extension english class is the BEST. lots of freedom to write whatever we want! in fact, i’ll be writing an essay on andor in a few weeks!
15. Dream job?
this changes a lot but the main few are screenwriting, directing, costume design and video game design. really anything where i get to create
i’ll try tag as many people as i can but no guarantees i can make it to 15 cos i’m newish here lol. and no pressure if i do tag u!
Now begins the mammoth task of a) figuring out what cosplays I want to do (besides Sithbelle and Jyn Erso), b) getting back into proper shape (by my own standards at least), and c) figuring out how in the fuck I'm going to bring everything to Japan.
And I've only got a year to figure it out!!
If anyone has any ideas / suggestions for Star Wars cosplays for me, I'm all ears!
