LEVEL UP your sewing FAST (while I make some pants!)

Описание: ★ SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL ★

Honestly I really wanted to sew a pair of pants, and I also wanted to serve up my favorite advice for leveling up your craftsmanship, so I did both at the same time! Cosplaying for twelve years has given me a lot of mistakes to learn from and a lot of sewing techniques I wish I'd figured out years ago– and I am here to save you that time and heartache by having a lot of feelings about interfacing, necromancers, and google!

pattern: McCall's M2085 "Wayfaress"
cosplay: Ianthe Tridentarius from "Gideon the Ninth" & "Harrow the Ninth" by Tamsyn Muir

19:35 The Final Pants

Hey! I'm Lizard Leigh! I'm a designer who turns abstract concepts into obsessively constructed cosplays. This channel is where you'll find every weird DIY cosplay build, shared with you in a detailed breakdown or build log! And when I say that, I really mean.... flying by the seat of my pants to make it work and catch that cosplay vibe lmfao.

We're building the airplane as we fly it y'all, and having fun getting WEIRD with original cosplay.

If you're new to making cosplay costumes, you're in the right place for cosplay advice– I've had a lot of time to learn a ton of things to keep me inspired and motivated for over a decade in this scene. Let's hang out and turn our big build schemes into some blessed seams!
