KaraKraft I have 10 years experience of sewing mainly due to cosplay, which is my foremost passion. so i thought i'd note it all down here!

More recently I have had a great deal of inspiration making original designs of which include a 1873 style english bustle dress and a prince wa lolita. Well... I make stuff, lots of stuff, since i can remember: Jewellery, knitting, sewing, crochet and even carpentry!

And finally, my most recent cosplay of a wenchy pirate! On the second time wearing it I altered small things to make the costume into an Avantica from critical role! All hail ukatoa!

Another original design of a rococo inspired lo**ta :). This one might need some adjustment as there are a few bits I'm not entirely happy with. (The wig needs more styling, the makeup needs more practice, the petticoat/crinolin moved too much and kept collapsing...) but I was totally surprised by how good the shoes were! Internet ordered and didn't need any wearing in to be totally comfy for the whole day of con. Almost unheard of!

one of my most fancy and detailed costumes to date. Meant to be a 'prince - Wa - Lo**ta' design, but i think most people just see it as 'Steampunk' which i don't object to :). I was very pleased how this turned out. i learnt how to do kumihimo braids for it and piled on the additional lace and braid etc. i feel delightfully fancy in this thing.

Miranda Lotto! from D. Gray Man (one of my favourite anime) had a lot of fun in this cosplay, but it was kinda thrown together and the belt is now a crumpled piece of pleather with no redemption in sight. but that just means i'd be able to remake it in real leather, and it would last forever if i ever decided to re-ware this character :)
