So you want to get started in Costuming? If you’ve never sewn or
hardly sewn, don’t worry! Creating costumes may sound scary, but it
really isn’t. It just takes a bit of imagination and a willingness to try
new things. We’ll teach you the beginner’s dos and don’ts, and help
you overcome the fear of that first trip to the fabric store, asking for
help, scrounging thrift shops, and entering your first masquerade.

various techniques for using the templates to create you own armor,
props and weapons.
