by the way, if anybody following me is interested in cosplay, making prop replicas, sewing their own clothes etc then you should definitely check out this Humble Bundle of how-to-cosplay books

it has basically everything a cosplayer (or somebody adjacent to costuming) might want, and then some -- i'm talking sewing, fitting, making foam armours, wig styling, smocking, tailoring, etc etc etc there's seriously loads of different books, and it's at a pay-what-you-want rate, PLUS it helps to support myself & charity (you can even choose where your money goes)

the bundle is only on sale until the 18th of May 2023 so get it while you can & signal boost so other cosplayers & costumers can see!!!

KIM KITSURAGI - "Yes. And this 'mega-binoclard' knows how to sew a lapel and center a back vent." The lieutenant raises one eyebrow at you.

Is there a DE fic out there in which Kim tailors Harry's uniform? I'm imagining scenes of Kim carefully sliding his measuring tape along Harry's broad shoulders, looping it around Harry's neck—his fingers pinching it taut just under his adam's apple as Harry gulps and looks straight ahead, avoiding meeting Kim’s eyes, and then wrapping it snugly around Harry's biceps. Kim kneeling to slide the tape up the inside of Harry's leg—from his ankles to his thighs to his crotch to measure his inseam. I want Harry to stand there sweating while the Furies completely lose it. Agonizing sexual tension with a side dish of “this is totally normal and we are being totally normal about it.” YEARNING. SLOW BURN. Please.

Eileen the Crow jacket and cape, made by me

I actually opted for a dark gray wool instead of black this time and airbrushed in the shadows during weathering to create more visual depth than you typically can get with black fabric.

The feathers in the cape are a mix of strips of painted black gauze with some added real feathers for visual interest. I'd be down to make a tutorial for the gauze feathers if that was something people were interested in!
