About Me

Hi There! My name is Laura :)

I am currently a senior in nursing school (= busy), but I love to make costumes and cosplays during my school breaks! I started my sewing adventure when I was 12 years old- I wanted to make dresses for me and my sister to wear to Colonial Williamsburg. They were an absolute mess, but I got a lot of good feedback on them anyway! 

My first costumes! (2013)

I made my first historically accurate (in style, not construction) gown in 2015.

My senior year in high school is when I really began to explore the world of cosplay. I love being able to fangirl by becoming my favorite character or dressing like I'm from that character's world.

Because I am in nursing school, I have zero time to work on costumes during the school year. But during winter and summer break, I take all the creative energy I've bottled up and go crazy in my sewing room!

I share lots of progress pictures on my Instagram account, so check that out, and let's stay connected!

I made a thing.

I finished my freshman year of nursing school, and am free for the summer, so I've  had some time to get back into sewing/costuming! First, I made a thing. It's a Middle Earth thing. My inspiration was Eowyn's house of healing dress. It's very plain, but still so beautiful. (If I had gotten whacked by the Dark Lord's mace-on-a-chain thingie, I would want to wear this dress while I recovered too.) The dress laces in the back with handsewn eyelets. I really wanted this to feel like something from Middle Earth, so a zipper just didn't fit the mood. I wore an elven necklace my sister got for me,  and the ear cuffs from my Arwen cosplay. The skirt is *so full* I can't even.

Colonial Williamsburg Fall 2016 Day 2

On day two, I wore the riding habit. It was overcast all morning, but it held off long enough for the fife and drum march - we got to see Clare again! <3 even="" i="" if="" it="" overcast="" was="">Even if it was overcast, it was HOT, m ostly because of the humidity. Kristi and I retreated to the cool shade of the Carpenter's shop to play the harpsichord again.   Clare knew more about my riding habit than I did, and tied my scarf for me <3 p=""> Never mess with a girl with a musket ;) Lunch at the King's Arms.  We got to see our waiter from last time - he remembered us!  Stuck a feather in her hat and called it macaroni! Next we decided to do something crazy. It started raining cats and dogs at lunch time. My parents went back to our hotel and left Kristi and I do have are adventures in the rain. We decided to walk to Great Hopes Plantation. Yeah. It's over
