Stay Tuned!

March's Cosplay Feature is coming and it is going to be a real treat! I want to spoil the surprise, but I think you will enjoy the Feature better if I keep it a secret. Stay Tuned! The Feature will be posted this weekend if all goes to plan.

Why have things not gone to plan? Well VFire was a little late in getting the interview questions out... and then she smashed her car into a tank... Okay, it was not a tank but the other guy had FAR less damage than the headlights ending up in the engine block. VFire wants a truck... no she wants a TANK! Anyways, all is well and both drivers walked away unhurt thankfully. (I made sure I was alright by doing cartwheels and handstands over the weekend. Why? Because I can! Ahahahaha!)

In the meantime here are some pictures of my progress on Sheik's armor to keep my readers entertained.

Still lots of work to do.

How to Make Auron's Blade - The Cosplay Armory

As promised, James of the Cosplay Armory shares his knowledge on how to make Auron's Katana from the game, Final Fantasy X. I have been very excited for this as I followed his page as he worked on the blade. I hope you enjoy it! - VFire


Auron's Katana Build by James

A note before I start. I will be mentioning the use of several machines that I have the luxury of having in my shop that I am well aware not everyone has. This project is definitely easier with them than without but everything I describe can be done without them or with simpler tools. I will also include steps that I do that are not necessary in parenthesis()

I was commissioned to build the Auron Katana by Lolita Zombie Cosplay and knew immediately that I wanted it to be light, yet durable. The first step to building any prop is figuring out what you’re going to make it out of. A lot of prop makers use light woods like poplar and MDF and while I have used some wood I decided it would be my first sword that I built e…

Podcast Ep. 003 - Nihon Matsuri and the Cosplay Judges

This is our first live episode with a live audience... of about 5 people, but it still counts! Pannon and VFire are joined by Rennagade and Tatsue Cosplay as judges for the Nihon Matsuri Cosplay contest. Huzzah for guest episodes! (EDIT: Episode has been updated with bloopers at the end.)


The Japanese Festival, Nihon Matsuri, celebrates Japanese culture from old to new traditions and activities. It is a really fun experience and incredibly educational as it shows how much the Japanese community has had an effect on downtown Salt Lake City.


Keep creating the impossible! - the Stitch and Seam Team
