Cosplay Stitch and Seam

I have a weak spot for cosplays that have elaborate detail and incredible dresses. While I have yet to try making anything like an elaborate dress, I admire the crafters who take on those challenges. I found Shushuwafflez, or Su, while doing research on a dress I want to make eventually. She nailed the design and it looks so fantastic (its Seth Nightroad from Trinity Blood if you want to know... someday I will make that dress!) Since then I have followed her pages on DeviantArt, Facebook, and other sources. One day it would be very cool to meet her in person! Canada is not too far away... This has been a dream interview for some time now and I am happy to present one of my personal idols to you readers!



Su is really creative and enjoys the challenges cosplay can bring. She creates her own pattern designs and knows how to tackle complex creations. Plus, she is super nice!!

Steamfest is an event unlike any other in Utah and the woman running it is passionate about it.


Nivi started the Steamfest back in 2012, creating a Steampunk event for the lovers of steam power and Victorian fantasy in Utah. The event is very unique from other conventions and festi…
