    Make it Sew - Cosplay Creations


    • Kate Bishop
      • Belt buckle. Jade made this out of worbla, but having problems with the texture. The Viking added bondo and primer to smooth out the surface. It turns out this a common problem with this stuff.
      • Mask - The mask is taking forever. She tried to make it out of buckram and fabric, but it’s proving fiddly, and moved onto worbla
    • Joanns Fabric is starting to carry geeky fabric, such as asteroids, etc.
