Intro to Cosplay

Description

Cosplay mixes sewing, crafting and a love of characters. Ten PDF lessons introduce the basics, choosing a first character and planning the project, then teach essential sewing skills and working with different fabrics and materials.

Further lessons cover basic prop making with everyday materials, wig styling, makeup for character transformation and costume assembly. The last two lessons deal with photoshoot tips and posing, and convention etiquette and community. Tables, a checklist and a template appear in the PDFs. After reading, you should be able to plan a simple costume, make a basic prop and put the pieces together ready for an event.

Who it is for: adult beginners who want to make their first costume from a favorite character.
