This started going around facebook yesterday, and I thought it would be fun to make one, too. (And even though isn't really an FAQ Friday, I'm using the FAQ Friday header.) I ended up not uploading it to facebook though - because there were so many thoughts and caveats I had about it that I thought I'd just make it a blog post instead. I had to pick fairly recent ...
I know there was a fairly recent blog article similar to this a while back, and I don't mean to step on anyone's toes with it. But after a few weird encounters at a recent convention, I really wanted to throw my two cents into the ring. So, here are some things I've had said to me/said to friends, or seen said to other costumes. Most of these things ...
Today's question is... how do you decide what costume you're going to wear to a convention? I've touched on this a little bit in other posts, but I thought I'd go ahead and do a full FAQ Friday on the subject! Picking a costume for a con or event doesn't seem like it should even be a question, really - but sometimes you really do have to put some thought ...
Once again I'm posting 2 Leia hair tutorials today - again since these are similar I figure I'd post them together! Today I'm doing the Rebel/Endor hairstyle and the Hoth hairstyle - this post is for the Hoth braids :) My notes for all of these Leia tutorials: -It's been a long time since I actively studied these hairstyles - most of my Leia costumes I did 2005-2007ish. I don't ...

Today I'm posting 3 separate FAQ Fridays - the ceremonial Leia hairstyle, slave Leia hairstyle, and Bespin Leia hairstyle! These 3 are all share a similar base, so I decided to post them all together. My notes for all of these Leia tutorials: -It's been a long time since I actively studied these hairstyles - most of my Leia costumes I did 2005-2007ish. I don't claim them to be 100% accurate then ...
Today I'm posting 3 separate FAQ Fridays - the ceremonial Leia hairstyle, slave Leia hairstyle, and Bespin Leia hairstyle! These 3 are all share a similar base, so I decided to post them all together. I apologize for being repetitious, but since these 3 tutorials share a common base, I'll just be copying some of the same directions and photos from the other guides. My notes for all of these Leia tutorials: -It's ...

Yep ya'll are getting multiple posts for FAQ Friday today! With Halloween creeping up, I get asked about my Leia costumes a lot. A lot of times it's folks who are new to sewing and not sure where to start. And a lot of times they're interested in what I consider to be costumes that are pretty tough for a beginner. So today I'm going to rank Leia's costumes in ...
So last week I posted "Method #2" for doing Princess Leia Buns (aka, the "donut" version). That method was a quick way to do the buns using what I had on hand, without spending a lot of money, since my regular hair pieces don't match my hair color very well anymore. This "Method #1" (aka, "cinnamon bun method") I'm going to show you today is the way I have done my Leia ...
