Hatsune Miku
I found out about cosplay in 2007 searching up Halloween costumes and noticed some pictures of people dressed up as Naruto characters. I took a sewing class my senior year in high school and I didn't start cosplaying until 2009 at Megacon. To me, cosplaying is a way to express myself through something that I enjoy. Throughout my 4 years in this hobby, I have learned so much and progressed my skills in sewing. So far I've made 35 cosplays. Cosplaying has also introduced me to many people around the country, many of them are my friends outside the con scene. I love everything about this hobby and I don't see myself stopping anytime soon!
First I find as many photos to use as references. Then I decided how I would tackle the cosplay, whag would be easy and what would take me the longest to finish. Since I didn't have much time to make this cosplay cause I had a week to finish it before I wore it to the con, I decided to modify a men's dress shirt and bought a black skirt and added the blue to the bottom
With this cosplay, I've gotten plenty of compliments. When someone comes up to me they would say how they liked the idea that I colored my eyebrows in. It gives it an added bonus to the cosplay
