One of the first patterns I created for @mccallpatterncompany was M7218 based on my original Empyrean Eyes Peacock costume! It came out in 2015 and I beam every time I see someone in a costume made with it! It’s a very personal costume that I made back in 2008 (omg) after dreaming about owning a Peacock gown for a long time. I had to save up for good materials and be so careful sewing the taffeta as well as gluing on the feathers. The bolero+bodice+mermaid skirt look is peak 2008 Yaya ✨👌. I have quite literally taken this Peacock around the world to events! Over time, the taffeta began to pull apart at the seams from repeated wear and the costume is retired. I still have it though, for sentimental reasons and with the hope that one day I can showcase my cosplay journey in a costume exhibition. I have 20+ years of costumes archived and it would be so cool to stroll through and see how materials and techniques in cosplay have evolved over two decades! If you have made something with M7218 I would LOVE to see it!! #originalcosplay #peacockdress #mccallspatterns #yayahanpattern https://www.instagram.com/p/CLfF65HnqA-/?igshid=1gzm2dai6n9sc

Throwback to one of my past pattern designs for the @mccallpatterncompany! I went for a fantasy theme with garment elements that could easily be altered for a variety of costumes. I especially love short boleros with giant sleeves, and in fact wanted these sleeves to be even bigger but they wouldn’t have fit in the pattern envelope 😆. This is M7765 if you want to try it out. #cosplaypatterns #mccall #yayahanpattern #fantasypattern #fantasycosplay #fantasycostume https://www.instagram.com/p/CKHOahRnicI/?igshid=16bgcrsww7rl4

I realized I hadn’t posted my newest @mccallpatterncompany pattern yet! I designed M7765 as a Far East inspired fantasy ensemble consistent of a short bolero with kimono sleeves, a halter dress with slashed seams, and an underskirt. I hope all of the elements in this pattern can come handy for you for future cosplay projects! Or just make a cute outfit for yourself! ⠀ You can get this pattern at @joann_stores and other fabric/sewing retailers that carry #McCallsPatterns, or directly from the McCalls online store! ⠀ What would you make with pattern? ⠀ ⠀ Photo by Brian Boling⠀ ⠀ #yayahan #sewingpattern #cosplaypattern #yayahanpattern

Things I have learned while making this body suit. 1- Yaya Han makes awesome patterns that you can customize to fit your body. 2- her fabric is equally amazing to sew with. 3- I learned to make a butt. Ladies if you have a big booty like me you’ll still have to add a butt pocket/extra template to get rid of that air pocket between your lower back and top of butt. #cosplay #yayahanpattern #yayahanfabric #bodysuit #dccomics #yellowlanterncorps https://www.instagram.com/p/BzRAB7hlBXl/?igshid=1q9dej1txoqpy

Patterns and plans are coming together for Chaos! There's going to be a mock up of the dress done soon to make sure my alterations are going to work! I'm excited to get this going! #mcalls #yayahanpattern #chaosemeralds #chaos #cosplay #cosplayer #cosplayworkinprogress #cosplayersofinstagram #sonicthehedgehog #sonic #gijinka #gaming #gamingcosplay #godofdestruction #chaosenergy #sonicthehedgehogcosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/BqYPFj9DQoL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=imsgkjmxv6xb

#sewing time! #corset #WIP #pattern #sewing #textile #cosplay #costumes #yayahan #yayahanpattern

Pattern pieces all cut out and ready to go. I prefer to cut my pieces out of drafting vellum after they have been traced off the original. These pieces are more sturdy and can reused with ease. Also should anything happen to them or I need a different size I can simply trace new pieces from the untouched original. . . . #mccalls #yayahan #yayahanpattern #corset #WIP #pattern #sewing #textile #cosplay #costumes
