Gold Shirt for New Year’s
I used some of my Christmas money to buy sewing and cosplay supplies, which included some sweet gold and black knit fabric. It feels a little like sweater material, and not as rough as it looks.

Fionna’s Hat: Adventure Time
I decided to be Fionna the human (the genderbent Finn from “Adventure Time”) for Halloween. I love the show, Finn is one of my three fictional characters and the costume is easy to put together – mostly just bought pieces. However, I did need to make the bunny hat. It was super easy and a lot of fun. So if you’re planning to make the hat (whether it’s Finn’s or Fionna’s), check out what I did.

I did finally finish making the circle skirt I promised my friend – at last! That being said, here’s the entire process in one post (nice and concise):
