There was something so precious about "I got my mom to teach me how to do the fabric part"

Fabric is scary, so naturally I went running to my mum :P

Like everyone else, I love those gloves and am working up the skills (and courage) towards leather gloves of my own one day. Also your comment re: useless tools was a perspective I hadn't thought of before! But you're right; sucky things have valuable lessons to teach us just like awesome things do. Also, let's give it up for all the CosTube Moms who patiently taught us how to flail a little less with fabric and a sewing machine, eh?

I agree, I'm very grateful to my mum for taking the time to teach me! Especially given my belated interest in the hobby 😅 And thanks for the kind words! If you ever decide to take the plunge and make some gloves, let me know! I'd love to see how they turn out

Seeing costumes in photos or in movement is always so completely different, its great to see you wear those armours on film! And the glovesss... /drool. I was already going to comment on how I like your editing style, I love the rapid fire between costume and non costume you, but seriously, the end cracked me up.

Hi! You are SO RIGHT about the satisfaction of edge beveling. I love it. If you want to get into the 14th c stuff, I suggest you seek out the SCA. You're in the Kingdom of Lochac, though I'm not sure what subgroup. They cover all time periods and places pre-17th century, so you can get your historical costuming groove on for just about anything you'd want to do.
@Cxizent3 жыл бұрын
Thankyou! I definitely want to get into SCA, and there's a HEMA school not *too* far from me, but this is all contingent on it being safe to go outside, so maybe in 2030? 😅 I think the local SCA group does a display at an annual comic con, now that you mention it.

Your Witcher costumes are so cool! I watched almost all of your videos from old to new a few months ago and I loved watching the new armor come together. I can't wait to see what you make next!

Haha, definitely keep your pet rats out of the workshop. They will decide that the weirdest things are edible. Mine desomated the first beeswax candle I made, then made me worried sick for their health because they ate so much of it and I didnt know of the bees was was treated with anything. They were fine though, but my candle was not XD.
