Welcome to The SewEvermore Workshop!
Here we will explore the wonderful world of cosplay and fashion!
I love cosplay. I started making costumes years ago when I majored in Illustration and needed reference for my photo shoots. Renting costumes was just too expensive! I started out super simple, but as the years went on my interest exploded into a full blown hobby!
Since then I have taught sewing for over six years and I am currently taking Fashion Design classes. I hope to share all I learn with you!
I wish I had tracked the progress of my previous works better, as well as taken more quality photos. Here is a snapshot of a few of the things I have done. I will be working toward creating a quality gallery of precious works, as well as posting more step by step views of how I make future projects.
To give you an idea of my experience, here are some of the projects I have made in the past.

One of the reasons I started making costumes myself was because of the difficulty of finding modest costumes. As a result, you will notice that many of my designs are modified from original designs to provide more coverage and show less skin. However, I make a huge effort to make these modifications look like part of a refined design in keeping with the character.
