Day 2: Cosplay meme

2. How many costumes have you done?

Oh man..I lost count a long time ago. ACP says 111 and coscom says 89 but I haven't updated that with the newest ones yet or even some of the older ones. That doesn't mention the..bunches of commission costumes I've done. I probably average about 12 costumes a year if you consider both mine and other peoples outfits. Some years there are more, some less depending on what interests me at the time.

I already have 10 outfits that are new this year..plus I have at least 5 more I need to finish by the end of the year for various conventions plus I made Ragna for Dark and I don't really remember what else. SO yeah..depends on the year XD

You put me to serious shame. -_-; Then again, you always do. lol!!

Question though, how the HELL can you afford to do so many costumes? I almost never see you re-wear anything. Never mind finding the time to make them. Are you just that motivated? Jealousssss!

I do a lot of my sewing at night XD And coupons are my friend. Plus I have a discount fabric store near me that can save me a ton on linings and certain fabrics. Not to mention I have an insane stash in my room from making all these costumes over the years. And several times I will reuse pieces of costumes for other costumes. ALl my money goes to bills and cosplay XD!! I don't spend it on anything else.

I wish I was so lucky. All I have is a run-down Hancock fabrics. Everything else is a 2 hour drive at best. :( I also have no room to keep a stash so I have to buy everything as I need it, which means that projects get pushed back due to lack of funds. Ugh!
