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 […]

Costuming a Weird Sister from Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
Last year when planning group costumes for a Halloween cruise with my costuming friend Tina and my blogging besties Miranda from Spooky Little Halloween and Cheyenne from Sense & Serendipity, my friend Miranda was all about Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. She, Hallowqueen that she is, would obviously be Sabrina, and the other three of us would be the Weird Sisters. And […]
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 […]
Costuming Claire from Outlander: Season 1 (WWII)
As if I don’t have enough Claire costumes from Outlander, I have one from season 3 that is unfinished, and since the beginning I wanted to put together this casual costume she wears in the first episode of season 1. Claire was a nurse in the 1940s and when World War II ended, she found […]

A Livestream with Costume CO on YouTube
Over the weekend I did a YouTube livestream with Costume Cinemato (on Twitter and on YouTube). Heidi prepared a lineup of my costumes from several genres, and we talked about costume/cosplay inspiration, materials, techniques, the awkwardness of duct taping each other for patterns, and killing curtains. And I didn’t even break out in hives or […]
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 […]
