Pattern making panel powerpoint Available now on Ko-fi!
My first panel was this past weekend “learn to make your own patterns for cosplay” and it went better than I expected! The room was almost full at 10am on a Sunday which is a feat in itself.
We had a 1 hour time slot and when the powerpoint was concluded we did an interactive block. During the interactive section I invited people up to make their first patterns with my assistance. The interactive section was a ton of fun and the guests were able to take home a pattern to get them started on making!
After the panel was over I had many people stop by my booth and ask further questions about how I create patterns for more difficult shapes, and ask for advice. A few even expressed they wished they could rewatch the powerpoint presentation, and I couldn’t let them down. Since there was so much interest I uploaded my powerpoint to my Ko-fi page for free! This powerpoint is meant to be updated for future panels so look out for updates. If you want to know where I’ll be hosting this panel next check out the updates section on my blog!
Powerpoint Content
This powerpoint includes 21 slides packed full of content. The powerpoint covers gathering references, making your own references, pattern making materials, and how to get started making your own patterns.
There are several video demonstrations within the powerpoint, showing some patterns I’ve made in the past as examples. The video section starts with a snippet from my striga day armor bracer tutorial, and you can watch the full video here. The videos then go on to show you the pattern building process for Striga’s pauldron and leg armor.
I hope after watching my powerpoint you feel confident making your own cosplay patterns. If you have any questions on how to get started feel free to DM me or email me with questions! You can contact me on instagram for the quickest response.
