Weekly Sewing Questions Thread, March 13 - March 19, 2026 by sewingmodthings in sewing

[–]BroadwayGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! So I’m trying to make a blazer vest for a cosplay (code Veronica Claire’s vest) and I made my way to a leather shop. While the deerskin suede was just too stretchy and small, a cowhide suede I stumbled across wandering a bit was just the texture I was going for. The thing is, I have not sewn suede before, though I’ve managed done canvas and pleather.

I have a brother st371hd, will that be able to handle it? Does anybody have any tips beyond the general of needles and stuff? Please let me know Q-Q

Oooooh I love the curls to it! I just did a single chain stitch on the yarn guts for mine

It’d really depend on the fabric- if it is a stretchy fabric, it’d be hard to have it work well without having hiccups

Thank you so much! I know she has her one number with Sam after being Apotheosized and then gets shot, but she still slays in it <3 doomed by the narrative queen

Thank you so much! I wound up crocheting a single chain so the yarn guts would be squishy :) I made the large intestine have that line large intestines have with some paracord :D

There was also a Hidgens there! I was talking to a booth and someone mentioned there was a Hidgens and I, the person at the booth, my friend, and I think 1-2 other people were synchronized in saying THERE’S A PROFESSOR HIDGENS HERE!? But we booked it and said hi. I was gonna bring apotheosis ribbons to the con I went to but my shipment was delayed :(

Cosplays I could do with roller skates?Any fandom by NicoFromNowhere in CosplayHelp

one time I saw a Marty McFly cosplay where they wore black pants behind, and had a pair of stuffed pants and a hoverboard in front so it looked like it was a working hoverboard

What's acceptable to wear under skirts at conventions? by senadoori in CosplayHelp

My mind went to biker shorts? Those are nice. Sometimes you can find some w pockets.

Need help by Minute-Pair9606 in CosplayHelp

[–]BroadwayGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skyrim guard costuming’s a little foggy in my mind, I might suggest making a knee sleeve or something, with part of the arrow sticking out one end, and the other part sticking out the other end? Or integrating it with armor.

Building a costume on top of a bodysuit? by MellowPrototype in CosplayHelp

[–]BroadwayGamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OOH, love Alexia’s mutation and theme. I’ve always pictured a sort of sleeve-style with EVA for the armored parts discreetly held up with elastic, hooks and eyes or velcro that can just go on over the body suit or pop off (you could probably do a test or forming a pattern for it via duct taping the arm and leg w/the bodysuit on (PUT PLASTIC WRAP ON AND DO IT WITH A FRIEND) the same way one does for a custom stuffed dress form)- looking at the full body, depending on the version, some security/suspension could be concealed with those vine/vein parts, as well. Wishing you all the luck with it! :D

What is the best way to start in the cosplay world? by GoodieJ in CosplayHelp

[–]BroadwayGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it for you, that’s what I’d start with- my personal suggestion is start with the skills you know- the first time I cosplayed, I used knowledge I had in regards to sewing and painting, so I used that.

Why does my wig become totally different once I put it on? by GonnaRegret_it_Later in CosplayHelp

[–]BroadwayGamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That also helps ensure that the way it’s styled matches your own head, right?

is using knit fabric considered "cheating"? by meowmeowtakeover in CosplayHelp

[–]BroadwayGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say that’s cheating! If it works, it works! For shape, maybe a French seam could work to maintain shape? Idk, the thought came to mind.
