Captain America Shield Bag

In honor of the new Captain America movie : ) I made this bag inspired by his iconic shield. 

Is a whole Cpt. A inspired outfit or costume to follow?? Maybe....

Batgirl Stephanie Brown Hoodie

Just a quickie this week. 

Every once in a blue moon I get to make something for myself to keep. I've had so much fun working on  this Batgirl costume, I thought it would make a great hoodie. It was also a fun way to experiment with the glow in the dark fabric.

It's simple, purple ribbed side panels and glow in the dark symbol and bat ears.

Those it's been largely too hot to wear it!

To all those who will be attending SDCC next week have a blast and I wanna see pictures!

Tron Hoodie

The quest for the perfect Tron inspired garment continues......as you probably know, I've been doing some work with EL wire which is great, but has it's limitations. EL wire isn't very durable, and can render a garment unwashable if permanently affixed.

The answer: blue glow in the dark fabric!

Glows amazingly bright when "charged" in full sunlight, and is totally washable. I haven't used these fabrics for long, so I'll update how they hold up over time.

Green Lantern Movie Jacket

I was asked to design this jacket inspired by Hal's costume from the Green Lantern movie.

This idea seemed totally daunting to me at first, mostly because the costume doesn't really exist! Oh CGI movies! How is an actor supposed to play a superhero without the costume??

 Ryan Reynolds has nothing on you!

 With some thought I came up with this jacket that I (and the wearer- who looks awesome!) enjoyed. As you can see there is a lot of detailed stitching on the jacket, which is stitched with glow in the dark thread for maximum awesomeness.

Lady Booster Gold with Glowing Star

As promised, "the how" of the Booster Gold costume worn to Wizard World Philly.

Watch the glowing star......

Lady Booster Gold at Wizard World Philly

Philadelphia is OK with me. I had a lot of fun in my costume this past Saturday. It had been awhile since I'd made a costume for myself.  Big news for me, I placed in the Costume Contest! 

Winner's Circle!

Check out the local CBS coverage, I'm the 13th pic.

Actually, I was supposed to be there.

See some pics of my favorite costumes from the con after the break.

I will do another post this week about making this costume, with good footage of the blinking star.

Wizard World Philly

I'll be wandering around Wizard World Philly this Saturday in a lady Booster Gold costume!

Also, happy Green Lantern Movie opening day!
