    I really have to thank you, I'm a Brazilian cosplayer, as many people here, i try to make my cosplays but the cosplayers never uses Eva foam or your materials, they also buy costumes, and that was making me sad, but when i discovered your channel, i make my first Eva foam cosplay, a mecha body, i felt so good and everyone in my team liked too, and now i can do whatever i imagine with it, so, from the bottom of my heart, thank you!

    I totally second the "BUY IT WHEN YOU SEE IT" on fur (and leather) - I learned this the hard way - and this mostly made me the fabric hoarder that I am today. lol.
    But seriously, the fabric (fur) that I've bought years ago, I get to use on recent projects which veeeery convenient and lessens the stress. :)

    One amazing sewing notion I've discovered in the past year is wonder tape. It's a double-sided water soluble tape that's very useful for aligning fabrics when sewing (such as zippers or appliques) since you just stick it down (rather than fighting pins for a long time). I used it when sewing a zipper this year and was like 'wow. how did it take me this long to try this thing out'. Def recommend if you're going to sew on a lot of detail pieces that would be tough to pin :D

    As a seamstress my favourite materials are almost all fabrics. I love Silk Dupioni, taffetas and recently liking wool a lot more after learning tailoring. My favourite crafting materials is foam clay because of course most sewn costumes also need some accessories!

    • @webwarren
      @webwarren 5 лет назад +2

      Annie Chie since most of what I do is historical costuming (renfaire), I'm usually looking for handkerchief linen, cotton damask (in appropriate patterns - really hard to find!), cotton velveteen, and wool velvet (for late October outdoor events). Home dec warehouses are my friends! Long cuts, cheap prices if you know what to look for. Cut-down duct ties from Home Depot are great inexpensive bones for stays and bodices. Hemp cording, though heavy, is needed for certain styles of bodices and petticoats.

    I found somthing that helps with people that have alot of baby hairs or hair that wont stay in the wig cap, is do hair spray or glue down your hair hairline. This also helps keep the front the wig from slipping.

    In leather crafting they have razor-sharp chisel tools to shave off the hide at beveled angles. Fast and clean. It would cut through your foam like butter. There's also pricking irons that pierce guide holes in the hide for easy hand stitching. Have you tried 'Spectra Chrome' for your mirrored metal effects?
