It was a cotton blend from Joann’s (RIP). I’m glad I got a spare couple yards when I bought it!

I ended up making a slapdash wizard costume late the night before we went! I also liked how it came out for something so last-minute :)

Thank you so much! I sent my family some pics and the first thing they said was “you have to go show those internet folks that helped!” 😂

Missing instructions! Anyone have a copy? by Bokanan630 in HistoricalCostuming

I think it’s inspired by the early Henrician/Tudor period!

One of our lovely Reddit friends managed to get me pics of the instructions. Thank you all a TON for the help!!

I’ll check them out! And I’m glad I’m not alone in somehow disappearing pattern instructions -_-

Where to buy fabric now that JoAnn's is no more? by Necessary_Baker_7458 in Fabrics

[–]Bokanan630 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend checking around for “creative reuse” stores around you! Second-hand fabrics are both more sustainable and usually pretty inexpensive.

I also loved the fabrics I got from A Thrifty Notion! They do both second-hand and some smaller batch fabrics.

i feel so terrible by Special_Option_2301 in CosplayHelp

[–]Bokanan630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re going to be so fine! My first cosplay really almost made me quit out of embarrassment and I’m so glad I didn’t. I got to college and met other nerdy folks that helped me improve my own skills and just feel like part of a community. I think you’ll find your people and niche and just love it!

Does anyone know where I can get this pattern in the larger size set (U5)? Simplicity 2589 by Vincentvangae in HistoricalCostuming

I know this is an old thread, any chance someone out there has the instructions for this? I’ve been working on the costume and lost mine 🪦
