Comic Con 2025

I finished my Agatha Harkness costume for Comic Con. It is the outfit she wears when she is gathering a coven. I found similar shoes, but they were navy. A little black dye fixed that.

Then I had to make over a striped blouse to look like the one she wears. 

First I cut off the cuffs and then cut the front higher. Then I  used tea and painted it on with a paintbrush. I had the perfect buttons in my button jar (given to me by my grandmother). I have a hat, sunglasses and a pair of jeans I cropped a bit shorter. 

I will make sure to get pictures at Comic Con!

Tea and Fabric

I had to resort to ordering fabric online for a shirt I am making for my Agatha Harkness cosplay. I hated not being able to feel the fabric. Ordering a sample was too pricey as I only needed 2 yards for the shirt. Upon opening the package I could tell the fabric is a bit more crisp than I would like. I am hoping it is only the sizing and a good wash in hot water will cure that. I need to tea dye part of the fabric as the shirt is two toned.

 

In other news, all the Joann Fabrics around me are either closed or will close soon. The only option for me will be buying fabric online and I hate that. 

Are your Joann’s stores closing? What are your options for fabric shopping? Do you like being able to see and touch the fabric you buy in person?
