Have you ever purchased or downloaded a pattern for your cosplay character and you are super excited to save tons of time and make a legit looking helmet or armor piece but then halfway through you realize that it is going to be way too small for your big noggin, or that the pattern must have been made for a giant because it is huge on you?  Trust me, you are not the only one to have had this problem and it is in fact probably one of the biggest pain points when it comes to trying to leverage pre-made patterns.  Because it is such an issue I put together a little calculator on our website to help simplify the process of scaling an existing pattern to fit you.  It is so simple it is nearly fool proof.  All you need is two measurements, you plug them in and out pops the scale you need to use to convert the pattern.  In this video I'll show you how to use the calculator and what to do with the number that pops out. :)

You know how sometimes you will a see a cosplay that just looks so spot on and you can just tell right off the bat without even seeing all the details because you just have this sense and it stands out even among all the other spot-on cosplays of the same character?  What is it that makes this costume so much more accurate looking than any others?  I submit that it is that they got their proportions worked out and have scaled/designed the build to fit them proportional to the original character.  In this video I'll teach you a few of my tricks for helping to make your proportions work out great.

Have you ever patterned something out, fitting to yourself and you've spent a lot of time trying to get all the details in there and then you go build up the piece only to find that the finished piece looks nothing like it does on the character?  It's likely that your focus while patterning was on the details and you forgot to focus on the silhouette of the cosplay armor piece base before jumping into the layers and details.  I'm not saying you have to have the exact body shape of a character to make a good cosplay, in fact, quite the opposite, taking the time to look past some of the details and focusing on the silhouette of the armor piece before doing the details can help you achieve a more accurate and spot-on look regardless of your body type!  It also helps you to wonder where you may have gone wrong in your patterning even though you got all the details perfect.  Tune in for this video and I'll show you my tricks for creating a solid base of the pattern before moving on to the details using a technique I refer to as silhouetting.
