Realized I posted the wrong time for my workshop at AB in my last entry. It starts at 5:30, not 5:00. ^_^;; If you’re going to AB and interested, I encourage you to come. ^_^ (Don’t feel obligated though if seam finishes aren’t your thing since there is a fee for the kit.) Tell your friends, too, if you think they’d be interested. I have 40 seats to fill!

Cosplay: The Inside Story
5:30-7:00PM Friday in Workshop 311 at Anime Boston
Tired of frayed messes inside your costumes? No serger? Learn what you can do with just a basic sewing machine! French, flat felled, bound seams and more! Attendees will put together a step-by-step guide with real fabric samples to keep. $5 kit fee


The booklet for the workshop has been written and is at Staples for copies. Final list of what I’ll be covering is:

French seams
Flat-felled seams
Bound seams
Making bias tape
Zigzagging
Satin stitching
Pinking

Each gets a page in the booklet with detailed instructions and corresponding pre-sewn fabric samples for each step. The workshop itself is mainly lecture and the booklet provides a reference for trying things at home later. ^_^

This is a great idea for a workshop! I may steal it at some point, or if you come to Anime North we'd be happy to have you do it again. ;)

Thanks. :-)

Not sure when I'll be able to make it back up to Canada. Timing can be tricky because the closer cons I regularly attend are Anime Boston (which jumps around between March and May) and AnimeNext (which is normally in June) so Anime North is sandwiched between them. :-/ I prefer them to be more spread out when possible since I only go to about 4 cons a year. (Although this year, I'm doing a crazy thing by going to Costume Con, Anime Boston, and AnimeNext all within a month and a half of each other. >_>;)
