Lend me your strength 🌸 I will need all the strength as I take on patterning my first ever corset today 😅 #FinalFantasyVII #FFVII #Aerith

sometimes I think about how in my first competition ever I entered with a costume that had a fitted blazer and tailored pants and didn’t press a single seam 💀

contemplating jumping into a half marathon training program next year since I’ve been on my renewed running grind this year, is this a symptom of turning 30 in a few weeks?

Ready to end my little mini-hiatus relatively soon and lock in to start my year + long project 👀

Aerith’s staff is complete! 🌸 How genius are @dangerousladies.ca PVC pipe connectors? This allows me to take Aerith’s loooong staff and fit in into a relatively small suitcase if needed! I’m obsessed I’ll be wearing the full costume at Otakon tomorrow! 💃 #FF7

Had a VERY successful evening of painting props and accessories Feeling the crunch a lil still but making good progress 😮‍💨

Aerith is complete for Otakon! 🌸 This costume tested the absolute limits of my sanity and my sewing machine (no seriously, it broke in the middle of me trying to top stitch the jacket) I tried to be super intentional about materials, taking my time, durability, and details ✨ #Aerith #FF7

Finally got a Bambu P1S this weekend am it’s glorious!!! 🥹😭💖 Gone are the days of fighting with my old printer

I’m so out of the loop and disconnected from most everything nowadays I don’t even realize there was cosplay comp discourse 💀

Adventure awaits 💫 I’m excited to work on another cape-wearing magical character soon 👀 #LegendofZelda #EchoesofWisdom #MAGFest

Being a cosplayer is so unexplainable bc how can can I sound normal when coworkers ask what I did on the weekend weekend and say I made vectors for anime characters and repaired my 3D printer ☝️🤓

Still processing it tbh but I’m so incredibly excited and honored to receive Best in Show at @awesomecon.bsky.social last weekend ✨💖 This Impa costume was a labor of love for well over a year in the making and I’m so thankful for all the love and kind words ❤️

I was able to use more Japanese than I thought while in Japan!! Perhaps a little too much bc some people immediately began rattling off to me in Japanese and I would just be like ((I’m sorry I’m still just learning))

I have maybe convinced my sister to make (and possibly compete in) a Sakizou with me 👀

My first MAGFest was a delight!!! 💫

it was also slimes, e3 2010 roleplaying, FINALLY meeting @heatherinharmony.bsky.social , and wandering the floor with @solaheikacos.bsky.social and @chrissyplaysdressup (IG) — and we still have another day of it!!!!!!!

I know, I know, not another infamous infographic™ 🤣 BUT this is a topic I think needs to be discussed. So again here's a thread because Bluesky doesn't like 10 image posts. #cosplaymaker

I DO NOT need to be browsing Sakizo designs… and yet 👀

#MAGFest lineup!! ✨ Saturday: Echoes of Wisdom Zelda Sunday: Donna + Angie Beneviento

I want less Silicon Valley companies and more companies like Tabasco where everything is just put into big oak barrels and once in awhile an aging Cajun man walks in and goes “how them babies doin”

the most fun I've ever had playing fire emblem maps!! gameplay was on point and the pacing was solid

🐈‍⬛🤍.

I offer you a blessed seam for the last day of 2024 ✨

this year has been so odd idk how to feel about it. I’ve found so much unexpected success in my professional/work life this past year, yet my personal life has been chaotic and kind of a flop this year 🫠

I’ve been slowly trying to replace cheap supplies that have gotten me through the years with more profesh, long-lasting ones I bought a brand new iron at Holmat and received a brand new actually name brand airbrush for Christmas that will hopefully last me more than two uses like my Amazon one🤩

Soar 🦅 Getting to swing by Holmat this weekend, if just for a day, has me inspired! I have a few 2025 plans on my mind, but not pressuring myself to do them all, I’m focusing on finding joy again! 🥰 #fireemblemthreehouses #fe3h #edelgard

the cosplayer toxic trait of being like "yeah I could probably make a belt from scratch" when you've never crafted with leather in your life

hello. please let me help you stop stuff from falling off your costume all day with this handy dandy cosplay rigging/logistics tutorial/guide. PLEASE. #CosplayTutorial 1/3

do I want to make my first petticoat from scratch? yes most definitely. do I have time to make my first petticoat from scratch? probably not. will I try anyways? YES

remember when Black Friday was good? I’m talking for massive corporations, like I’m not gonna get excited over 20% off of something from target like be so fr

🧵 Echoes of Wisdom Zelda build thread! 🧵 It’s my first build thread on BlueSky! ✨🦋 Hoping to complete this for #MAGFest #LegendofZelda #CosplayBuildLog

sometimes you gotta get a lil creative with drying positions when glueing together 3D printed props

📌 hello BlueSky! 🦋 I’m Heather. I’m a graphic designer by trade and a DMV-area cosplayer who has been making costumes since 2017! I love documenting my builds, skill-sharing, and making 3D printing less daunting for all! ✨

✨friendly reminder PSA! as someone who is panicky about security✨ since this is a relatively new site that is starting to grow pretty quickly pls remember to go in your settings and turn on two-factor authentication 💫

My upcoming trip to Japan has prompted me to study Japanese again and I’m having so much fun with it it’s inspiring me to hopefully get into some formal learning and proficiency tests next year 👀

Cant wait to start documenting my build threads on here soon ✨ I’d love to gauge how everyone likes it so far? Better or worse than twitter? Any drawbacks? I’d love to know!

I’m going to try to get over the fact that my final nearly 48 hour print ran out of filament in the last 2% so I’ll have to reprint some pieces 💀 But this Zelda tri staff is going to be BEEG

Trying this out again ✨ hello Bluesky friends
