In 1996 Manuel Hinojosa drew a picture of my hubby as a Soldado. It has now been used as the cover illustration in "Santa Anna's Army in the Texas Revolution, 1835" by Gregg Dimmick. Manuel's niece Gina Hinojosa is the Democratic candidate for Texas Governor. #livinghistory #Alamo #soldadomexicano

A good photographer enhances your cosplay and helps you tell a story. These photos of my Queen of Hearts were taken by www.masterphotographybylg.com March is Women's Month and all women are queens. #Over60Cosplay #costumer #sewist #cosplayer #queenofhearts

Suffragette Rainbow Dash seems appropriate for International Women's Day which commemorates women's fight for equality and liberation. The fight continues. #Over60Cosplay #costumer #sewist #cosplayer #internationalwomensday #rainbowdash #Suffragette

Remember the Alamo! In 2003, I was privileged to portray Susannah Dickinson in "The History Channel Presents: The Alamo." My hubby and children had parts as well. The child playing Angelina Dickinson was not happy with the process. #Over60Cosplay #costumer #sewist #cosplayer #rememberthealamo

I'll be one of the Cosplay Contest judges on Saturday and a co-presenter of "Confidence through Cosplay" on Sunday. Stop by by table to chat. I'll also have copies of my book available for purchase. #Over60Cosplay #costumer #sewist #cosplayer

Cosplay is such a weird hobby. 😆 My hubby strung this rope between 2 trees and I've spent 2 days spray painting it (RustOleum Universal which adheres to plastics). But the result is SO good. #Over60Cosplay #costumer #sewist #cosplayer #wonderwoman

Whenever I make a cosplay item I try to add extra pockets...believe me they'll come in handy. This frock coat received 2 extra pockets attached to the lining. #Over60Cosplay #costumer #sewist #cosplayer #sewingtip

Just to prove I don't only cosplay Harry Potter villians. (But playing villains is definitely more fun. ) #Over60Cosplay #costumer #sewist #cosplayer #harrypotter #Hermione

When you're known for wearing unique hats. 😉 #Over60Cosplay #costumer #sewist #cosplayer

March is National Women's Month. Here I am interpreting Molly Brown of Titanic fame at my school 2018. #Over60Cosplay #costumer #sewist #cosplayer #nationalwomensmonth

It's National Floral Design Day. I don't think Poison Ivy would approve. 😉 #over60cosplay #costumer #sewist #cosplayer #nationalfloraldesignday #poisonivy

It's Pokémon Day AND National Strawberry Day! #Over60Cosplay #cosplay #sewist #costumer #PokémonDay #nationalstrawberryday

But the original has such a sad ending 😢

It's National Tell a Fairy Tale Day! As a librarian and storyteller, my favorite is Beauty and the Beast. What's yours? #Over60Cosplay #costumer #sewist #cosplayer #nationaltellafairytaleday

Have you considered using dental floss when gathering heavier fabrics? #over60cosplay #costumer #sewist #cosplayer #sewingtip

It's #NationalTradingCardDay and I'm fortunate to have 2. The first is from the Rebel Legion with my Jocasta Nu cosplay. The 2nd was a prize from an online cosplay contest featuring Yubaba. #Over60Cosplay #costumer #sewist #cosplayer #jocastanu #yubaba

190 years ago today the siege of the Alamo began. #13daysofglory #Over60Cosplay #costumer #livinghistory #rememberthealamo

Happy 97th birthday to James Hong, born on February 22, 1929, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. #Over60Cosplay #costumer #sewist #cosplayer #bigtroubleinlittlechina

A peek into the process. I started with a concept. In this case I wanted to do a Western Wonder Woman. I decided to base it on historical Annie Oakley, a true American Amazon. I found a pattern that I can adapt and pulled out fabrics that I've collected. #Over60Cosplay #costumer #sewist #cosplayer

Reduce, reuse, recycle, and remake. I made my gson's Audrey 2 costume for Halloween 16 years ago. Four years ago, I finished remaking it as a glam cosplay for me. #over60cosplay #cosplayer #sewist #costumer #audrey2 #littleshopofhorrors

It's National Lash Day! Such a small thing makes a large impact in the overall look. Thank you Divine Studios (San Antonio) and Nico Redondo. #Over60Cosplay #costumer #cosplayer #nationallashday #makeup

Color choice and accessories make such a difference. These cosplays were made using the same basic pattern. #Over60Cosplay #costumer #sewist #cosplayer #Knotgrass #snowqueen

Our usual Sunday cosplays because they're easy to get out of (and no makeup involved). #Over60Cosplay #costumer #sewist #cosplayer #harrypotter #deloresumbridge #madeyemoody
