I’ve always wanted to go to the Bunny Hutch party at DragonCon, despite negative reviews from other con goers…only because I wanted to make a cute costume. So that’s exactly what we did in 2019. I turned our otherwise vanilla Dana Scully and Fox Mulder costumes from The X-Files into bunny and Heff versions… [Related: […]

Deanna Troi From Star Trek: TNG, but Make It DragonCon Marriott Carpet
Years ago before I learned how to sew, I custom ordered a Star Trek: TNG season 1 skant uniform from one of those cosplay dot com websites, and it was terrible. Wrong color, mainly, and even at the time I didn’t notice other huge inaccuracies. The company refused a refund, so I sat on it […]
Ghosts of Costumes Past: DragonCon 2018
Every year during Labor Day weekend, I attend DragonCon in Atlanta, one of the largest pop culture conventions in the United States. While it’s not the largest and the most widely known, it is my version of a costuming Super Bowl. As I’m currently on my way to Atlanta for this year’s convention, I’m taking a look back at what I […]
Ghosts of Costumes Past: DragonCon 2013
As I prepare for this year’s DragonCon in Atlanta next week, I’m looking back at the first DragonCon that we attended in 2013…what a blast from the past! And wow, things have changed in 6 years! This was before I learned how to sew, before I knew any of you awesome nerds, before the blog, […]
Costuming Artemisia from 300: Rise of an Empire (Gold)
It’s been four years since I joined a fitness based costume group that gets together once a year for DragonCon in Atlanta. My first costume with the group was Artemisia from an early scene in the second 300 film (300: Rise of an Empire) was a striking red dress with maybe 10 seconds of screen time […]
Costuming Themistocles from 300: Rise of an Empire
Several years ago I joined a fitness/costume group (see my first Artemisia costume build here) that gathers once a year at DragonCon in Atlanta. My husband, being the supportive gentleman that he is, joined the group about a year after I did. I had made a Senator from 300 costume for him to wear so he could […]
Costuming Jack Randall from Outlander: Accessories
It’s no secret I’m a huge fan of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander novels (and Outlander series on Starz), as I have made, purchased, and worn many Claire costumes and accessories. But special points to my husband for putting up with my sewing/costuming madness, and for getting talked into wearing Oulander’s main villain, Captain Black Jack Randall’s […]

Costuming Claire from Outlander: Season 1 (Additions)
Claire has so many lovely looks in season 1 of Outlander during her time in the Scottish Highlands. I like that most of the outfits worn during this time are *mostly* historically accurate mix and match pieces of 18th century clothing and accessories – from petticoats to stomachers and jackets, to cloaks and crocheted wool […]
