August Hiatus and Fun News!!!

BIG NEWS! The Cosplay Stitch and Seam will be on hiatus for the month of August. During this time VFire will be preparing for a new school term to start and making TWO new cosplays. Yes, TWO. She is insane... but it will be worth it. You can watch the progress and inasanity on her facebook page while you wait for updates. :D But first, the latest project that she finished.

Now I don't usually post a whole lot on the blog about my own cosplays but I am really proud of this one. I posted a progress pic a long time ago for Sheik and here is the finished product:

Real leather armor, spandex chain maille print (I said screw it to real chain maillle and it added a cool video game vibe to it), and the bow actually works as a 15/20 pound pvc pipe bow. I also had the chance to work on some metal working and melted pewter and aluminum for the project.

So the next two projects? MUCH simpler, yet still a little complex. I am planning on assisting two cosplayers with their epic costumes by being Link for them. The first is Volvagia from Ocarina of Time, being made by SailorCrafty. I will be cosplaying Goron (red) tunic Link with a plush Megaton Hammer. Look at SailorCrafty's progress below!

She scuplted his head! That is so freaking amazing I can't even!!! I really look forward to cosplaying with her at the beginning of September.

Sailor Crafty will be the dragon Volvagia and VFire will be Link.
Plush Megaton Hammer, ah yiss!

The next cosplay I will be working on is Skyward Link. I will be cosplaying with both Cassini Closet as the Loftwing and Renna as Impa. We will hopefully be rocking these cosplays at NDK in September. 

Cassini will be building the Loftwing cosplay, Renna will be Impa,
and VFire will be Link.
I don't think I will actually ride the loftwing, unless Cassi knows how
to actually fly.... >.>

I have a lot to do and only one month to make it!!! Since I am also preparing for school, the blog will be on hiatus but check out my facebook page for progress pics and share in my excitement and adventure as I attempt to make some fun cosplays. Also, you should watch for progress pics of the others too. :D

As always, thank you for reading and stay epic! See you on facebook or next month with the next feature!!

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…

Ep. 017 - Secrets of Cosplay Docs for Contests!

This week Pannon and VFire talk about documentation for Cosplay Contests. This can be a document that help make or break a good presentation of your work to craftsmanship judges.

Check out these Documentation examples here free to check out from le Googles.

Contests may have different requirements so make sure to check what the judges are looking for. Here are 5 thing to remember when making your documentation.


1. Reference pictures.If you have one thing have this in your docs. Bring a reference of the character. Front, back, and side views are always a nice bonus!



Sometimes it is nice to put a reference right next to something in progress. For example VFire used the above images to show how she worked on Sheik's braid and aimed to replicate the weird criss cross at the top.
2. Progress picture.
Show your process. Did something not work out? Show that and why you chose another path. Show the evolution of your work.


3. Summarize.
Group similar methods together (e.g. when your arm…

Ep. 18 Body Positivity and You

Today's guests talk about loving your body with body positivity. Meet Turtlebunnies Cosplay and Unroyalty Cosplay (@un_royalty on instagram) as they talk about road blocks they have run into and how they are overcoming them.

Everyone should love their body, no matter what type of body you have. It can be difficult with society saying that beauty is one thing or another, but listen to these two cosplayers and what they have to say. Their advice and stories are inspiring!
