The Real Little Neko

My Ana (Overwatch) pants pockets came out pretty good. It's stretchy fabric so I used a stretch stitch for most of it and luckily the stitching shows up more than a regular stitch. The camera made the thread look blue, but it's actually black. Maybe I can use some cell shading techniques to make these stitches stick out more later. #overwatchcosplay #anaowlskin #anapants #notantsinmypants #blizzard #overwatch #cosplay #cosplaywip #sewing

My mock pants are starting to look like pants! Still excited to be making my first pair of pants. I'm not going to make these as poofy as Ana's cause I think it will look weird if my legs are much smaller than hers and the straps on her legs wouldn't look right either. I tried finding a fabric that would be hopefully less hot than some. I'm not good at picking out fabrics and I don't have a great selection locally. So crossing my fingers on this one. #sewing #cosplay #cosplaywip #mockup #anaowlskin #sewing #pants #diy #overwatch #overwatchcosplay #blizzard

D.VA Police hat is almost done! Yay! I love how it turned out! It fits great on my head, but add the wig and it wants to come off, so alligator clips might be added underneath. #overwatch #overwatchcosplay #DVAcosplay #dragoncon2017 ##DVApolicehat #cosplaylife

At least one costume is coming along! ;) #overwatch #overwatchcosplay #DVA #dragoncon #dragonconrush #dvapoliceskin

It's almost finished!! Just need to put a seal on the whole thing. I bought a waterproof coat, but Donnie thinks it's too nice to go outside. 😊. Thanks baby! #nofilter #gardendecor #woodwork #scrollsaw #elbowgrease #cosplayersmakeotherthings

Totally guilty! Instead of working on my Mercy cosplay, I have been practicing on the new scroll saw with a sign for our garden! Did the "Garden" part tonight and it wasn't easy! Sanding helped hide some of the nicks where I messed up. Next, staining and glueing it all down, then sealing it all up! #scrollsaw #gardendecor #woodwork #craftergottacraft #elbowgrease

Got this beautiful bracelet at Pride today from @hardweardesigns!! It makes my geeky heart flutter. The lady at the booth was so nice as well. #jewelry #bracelet #nashvillepride #geekwear (at Public Square Nashville)

My goofy face as we Island camp this weekend!! So awesome. You should be here. ;). #islandlife #camping #waterfun #itsbeentoolong #warmbreeze #feelsnice

After a vacation, then getting sick for an entire week I finally felt good enough to get out in the garage and do some work! Just made these four, small pieces today. They actually turned out well with help from my scroll saw, dremel and some sanding. #cosplay #foamprops #mercy #overwatch #itsbeentoolong #evafoam

Skeletor approves or disapproves of your avocado fries!! I can't tell. ;). #savannah #vacation #skeletor #avacadofries #treylorpark #georgia

Been playing Hero's of the Storm to get Overwatch perks! The game is actually pretty fun to boot! #overwatch #hots #herosofthestorm #lootboxes vidyagames #blizzardgames

How YOU doin'? ;) So this is still in the experimental stage. I want to make Mercy's chest armor in EVA foam so it will be more comfortable and so I might be able to bend just a little. #cosplay #evafoam #overwatch #mercy #evaarmor #functionality

It's just the bones and pieces of what will hopefully Mercy wings from Overwatch! Thank you to the beautiful @stellachuuuuu for her template/tutorial! It's a bit intimidating when you first see all these strange pieces and then you start realizing how it might come together. ;) #propmaking #cosplay #mercy #overwatch #thanksstella #cosplaywings #thebarebones

My constant awe in discovering new tools! Today the PVC Cutter! It's so much easier than I thought it would be. #propmaking #tools #pvccutter #cuttingpipes #nicedayinthegarage
