I’ve almost bought the civil war dress pattern several times, I just couldn’t bring myself to wear that many velvet curtains…it looks too uncomfortably hot to wear! So […]
Costuming Peli Motto from The Mandalorian
Most women who watch The Mandalorian and cosplay would chose to make a Cara Dune costume, and while that also might be me (I’ll come back to that later), I love love love Peli Motto even more. This spicy space mechanic, played by Amy Sedaris if you squint, repairs ships at the spaceport of Mos […]
