Ever wondered which fabric is actually right for your next cosplay? This workshop is all about understanding textiles – tailored specifically for cosplayers.
Since 2016, I’ve been designing and sewing my own cosplay costumes. Early on, I realized how much the right choice of fabric can affect the entire outcome of a project. Unfortunately, there’s little reliable guidance online or in hobby books when it comes to selecting the right materials – and that’s exactly where this workshop comes in.
I’ll be sharing insights from my professional training as a fashion and textile tailor, along with a modern take on materials and the fashion industry as it relates to costume creation.
What you'll learn:
Fundamentals of textile structures, fiber types, and finishing techniques
A close look at 8–12 fabrics ideal for cosplay
How fabrics are made, what they’re made of, and what to use them for
Tips on fabric identification and care
Bonus: If time allows, I’ll bring samples of interfacing, specialty fabrics, and rare fibers
Please note:
This workshop does not cover sewing techniques, machine operation, or embellishment methods such as embroidery. It’s all about the fabric itself – learning to touch, understand, and choose the right materials for your projects.
You're welcome to bring your questions about the fashion industry, materials, or cosplay-specific fabric challenges – I'm happy to help!
