Recently I've started using OneNote at work to help organizing the really large files that I work on. As I've become more familiar with it, I've started using it in my personal life as well. My favourite part of of using it is that it's available to me where ever I log in to my Microsoft...

This post will be for the wig styling.

This post will be for the patterning of the under sleeves, main body, over sleeves and mantle.

This post will be to track the creation of the underpinnings.

This post will be for 3D printing of the headpiece and skirt "egg jewels". I purchased the 3D print files on Etsy from Ceredir Cosplay. Unfortunately, they are no longer there. They do have a website with some stunning print files for sale but no Amidala. Same with their FB page. Not sure...

This post will be for all things embroidery. I am fortunate to have an embroidery machine. I have a Husqvarna Designer Diamond single needle. I have been using a digitizer for a loooong time for all of my embroidery related projects. A few years ago I purchased digitizing software to start...

This post will be for my list of references and where I've purchased items from. There are several amazing cosplayers who have not only already made this but have been kind enough to share how they did it. The references I'm finding very helpful are as follows: Kealy Ann on YouTube has a...

This costume has loooong been on my list of costumes to build. I'm going to keep updating this post with my To Do list to hopefully keep me on track. I'll be using One Note to help me keep this large project organized.

We all have them! But here at The Money Pit we can solve them together! Be as descriptive as you can about what costuming problem you are experiencing. The more detail, the better chance that someone will be able to provide you with some assistance. To help with that - see this little area...

I'll start out: What brings you here? My friends and I wanted to create a space for our Alberta Costuming Community to learn from one another. What do you hope to learn? I hope to learn as much as I can. I'm a firm believer in there being something for everyone to learn and something that...

Hello Friends! Welcome to The Money Pit Costuming Hub! You'll notice that things are a little sparse and that the plastic is still on the couch but never fear, we're working hard to get content added here for you. While we work on the construction side of things, please feel free to introduce...
