My Sewing Portfolio | The Pen and Needle
https://jennyjackprose.wordpress.com/2015/07/28/my-sewing-portfolio
The Pen and Needle. July 28, 2015. July 28, 2015. I’m attending GenCon tomorrow. It’s a convention for gaming that takes place in Indianapolis. And while the event itself is exciting, I’m more thrilled than usual because my friend and I will be giving a presentation about everyday cosplay. I’ll share our notes and slideshow in the next day or so, but because I’ll be getting this visibility, I also wanted to make a portfolio site for my costumes and sewing. Today, I finally made it public! Get every new p...

Impa Cosplay Postmortem | The Pen and Needle
https://jennyjackprose.wordpress.com/2015/08/08/impa-cosplay-postmortem
The Pen and Needle. August 8, 2015. August 8, 2015. I didn’t post every step of my Impa cosplay creation process, but the costume is 100 percent done! I wore it at GenCon, which took place last weekend, and received a pretty good response – lots of people took pictures and gave shouts outs. This was my first cosplay, and now that it’s done, I want to review the work I did to hopefully learn. With that in mind, here’s my postmortem:. If I were to make the armor over again, I’m not sure whether IR...

Impa’s Gloves | The Pen and Needle
https://jennyjackprose.wordpress.com/2015/07/13/impas-gloves
The Pen and Needle. July 13, 2015. I’ve finished yet another piece of my Impa cosplay! If you’ve been following my progress at all, you’ve probably notice there are a lot of steps to this thing.) I worked on the gloves little by little, and after stitching some details during a road tip, they’re done! And let me tell you, sewing in a moving vehicle takes some coordination. I used a pattern to make these gloves because I’ve never stitched any before – hurray for new experiences! Between each finger are sm...

My Cosplay Made Google Results! | The Pen and Needle
https://jennyjackprose.wordpress.com/2015/06/07/i-made-google-results
The Pen and Needle. My Cosplay Made Google Results! June 7, 2015. June 9, 2015. I’m working hard on Impa’s armor, but it has been a definite learning process. I’m not at a place where I can post about it just yet, so I wanted to fill the time from now until my next update with some news. I was doing a Google Images search of “Impa Hyrule Warriors” to find some reference photos when I found one of my photos from this blog! Impa Cosplay: Beginning the Armor.

Impa’s Armor: Part 1 | The Pen and Needle
https://jennyjackprose.wordpress.com/2015/06/28/impas-armor-part-1
The Pen and Needle. Impa’s Armor: Part 1. June 28, 2015. July 13, 2015. Last I wrote about Impa’s armor, I had done a bunch of research. Since then, I’ve gotten about halfway through. I created patterns, cut the foam, and prepped most pieces. Now for some more detail! I used some of the research images I found and Impa screenshots to sketch patterns for my costume. I didn’t get photos of everything, but here are some of the patterns:. After all the sanding came the shaping and coloring part. Foam doe...

The Pen and Needle. August 26, 2016. I’ve toyed with the idea of putting together “official” cosplay pages for a while, and I’ve finally done it! I now have a Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr and Facebook dedicated to my cosplay content. That way, you can follow on your favorite platform to see what I’m up to before I take the time to writer these blog posts. Here’s what you’ll see on each:. Continue reading →.

Impa Cosplay: Chest Binder | The Pen and Needle
https://jennyjackprose.wordpress.com/2015/06/16/impa-cosplay-chest-binder
The Pen and Needle. Impa Cosplay: Chest Binder. June 16, 2015. July 13, 2015. I had to take a break from making armor for a while (it’s a really tedious process, you guys! So I went back to my roots – ahhh, my good old sewing machine! The last major stitching project was the chest binder, which you barely see on Impa’s costume. However, it’s still an important part. So there you have it, me working too late at night, not thinking through my idea and ultimately realizing that I should have figured it out ...
